You're getting much better ^_^
And if I may ask, what editing system do you use?

I really like the undead mage, that one is really, really awesome (a little note too, if you save things to your computer that have a transparent background such as your current sig (it has a white one around the actual picture of what appears to be dragonblight, ensure you save them as a .PNG format, it will keep the background transparent so you dont see that white background ^_^)

I use Paint.Net, its also free and is really straight forward, GIMP confuses me too much so i just stick to the one i know though i miss out on a lot of unique techniques that GIMP has

*stares in silence*
I actually use Photoshop Elements 9, and it's a lot easier than Gimp in my opinion. But It still, is confusing.

GIMP is my baby, but it's very very user unfriendly. :( It takes a while to find things, and it's a pain in the butt to resize/crop/edit things sometimes even for me.

I really like that pic you did for your bf and if creatures have 'particles' and its causing some conflict when you open the screenshot in an editing program you can go into Model Control under View and un-check Particles, and for base layers (say Skarr had a glowing aura), you save the creature without its particles and without the aura (via the check marked boxes in the white box in model control as a BMP. and then you uncheck the parts of it that are the actual body and you check mark the auras and then save it as a PNG., then you open each screenshot seperately, create a layer, post the aura on, then add another layer, copy the next aura screenie, and paste (i always save each aura effect as its own screenie but im not sure if it effects the picture in any way).
This is the guide i followed, it will make a whole lot more sense then my rambling
