I daresay it has potential, your shading style is really unique, you've done good on that part. Notes *+Nice shading, it really adds a different feeling to the sig, in a good way :D *-Some of the items laying on the ground look really out of proportion. A platebody should be made out of metal tougher than something that can bend as easily as that. *-Your castle/house is really out of proportions. Also, the rook part of it seems bent at [our] right side of view. Also, the door needs to be fixed. *-Add some more detail to the landscape. Unless it's going to be the wilderness, don't be afraid to add water, clouds, sky, mountains, etc. It can really touch up a sig sometimes. *-Also, the sword seems just a tiny bit too short. So far, from the signature itself, it seems hard to tell if just the linework will suffice to make it a good sig. The shading is awesome, great job with that. Fix up the linework and stuff I mentioned, I think it could turn out really good. Also, one last thing, if it is a wilderness scene, add some trees, and keep the landscape barren.
