And one with a cheesy camera flare that almost kind of works! So... yeah, I'm not sure if I like the second one more than the first or not... or... yeah. Opinions would be cool. >.>

Seconds Better.
And You See. You can do better sigs than me. =]
The only thing i would change on this is put the boarder above the black parts at the top and bottom of the Sig.

It's not necessarily better, it's just more vibrant. (That's my specialty. Colors! ) The thing I was focusing on, was keeping his hair white (it's actually supposed to be darker, but I didn't like that), and keeping the left side of his scythe looking like it's dissolving. Other than that, I was just trying to hide the kind of rough cut around his one hand. Edit: Fixed the Borders.

I like the second one better. Lighter. ^^
Although I'm not so sure about your color choice. Too much red, and the purple feels odd. Seems to blend too much with his clothing. xP I dunno. I think that he should blend with the background, but not too much. ^^;

Well, his main stock colors were a dark purple / blue, and red (the contrasting colors, that is.) And as I starting working, the color started washing together, with the red taking over his primarily purple /blue armor. I left it that was, as it blended nicely (in my opinion), and because I was going to a sort of "misty" look. Like, how his scythe is 'dissolving' so I decided the sort of setting he would be in would look hazy, and have random splotches of color floating around. (Which is the reason for his red hand, on the left.)
However, he would have been even MORE red, if I hadn't taken an un-touched stock, and blended the torso and head together with the primarily red body. So, the black sort of now fades into the red. If you're purely referencing the one hand that's completely red, I can see where you're coming from, but it was all intentional, for the most part. (For the most part, the red is supposed to be the background, with the purple being the deep edges.) I contrasted the bright red, with a white highlight in the back, to the purple with the dark, almost black recesses. And while I might agree about having too much red, I like bright, vibrant colors (as shown from my various other signatures), and red and purple just seemed to work for me.
(However, I did what I could to not make his armor a black mass, but the stock was dark, and there wasn't much I could do... so I instead decided to exaggerate the parts that were already highlighted (the hair + face).

ohh it's nice, I like the color vibrancy although I have to say that I don't really notice a difference between the two.. o.O but the blending is great. For the right side of the sig though, I think you should have stuck with the darker shades of red, that bright red kind of takes away from the sig as a whole. And the text.. I don't really like it, the black is too dark, and the bright red on that side of the sig doesn't match. I do really like how you kept his hair white. ;D
