First I would like to mention my thoughts about the first one
Awesome compo,nice blending but u lack of depth plus that it is a bit empty.It reminds me a sprite style
You black and whit maybe it needs some more contrast
You definitely have to learn about the meaning about sub text or text brushes.
Since I'm not a text expert I will search for q text tutorial I have found on net
I had something in my mind about bloody but i could not find the stock i wanted so my trials failed.I made you one on my own liked though.If you want use it.
Here is your request.Hope you like.i saw style like that on net and i inspired.I really wanted to archive smt similar.At least i tried.
For the signature i used some ready stocks,c4ds and abstracts that i found on net.
