    As a quick heads up, the renders/stocks you use aren't limited to just Pokémon. You can use anything you like, provided it follows the rules and meets the theme.

    I liked Ashe's entry a lot but it looks kinda blurry or something. I don't know if that's really it, but something is a little bit off.

    And, RedScizor, the following is supossed to be constructive criticism, please take it as such.

    The Latios is evidently cropped out badly. If you don't know how to mask and correctly crop pictures, use renders (As in, pictures without a background.)
    The actual background looks like just a picture with no work on it...
    And the font is actually really important when you do graphics, the font you picked is kind of cheesy and the color and style makes it very out of place. It'd also been nice if you had added a "Happy new year" somewhere, but that doesn't really matter.

    Also, both pictures you used seem to be of really low resolution, making them look sort of pixelated. You can do a google image search with the image you want to use and it'll automatically look for different sizes of the same picture, thus (usually) providing you with a higher resolution version of your original picture.

    Don't get discouraged and keep trying, eventually you'll be making really nice signatures!
