hmm not bad. but here are some improvement tips, from my perosnal view

-Make the sig narrower and taller. it tend to make the sig fit with the forums better. and its a better shape for most renders. (i usually use 180 pixels tall and 420 wide)

-move the render to one of the sides. renders in the middle of the sig are tougher to do, while if they're at an edge, they'll still look sweet.

-dont completely cover the render in fire. leave him kind of out of it. makes the render appear to be emerging from the flame and adds a sense of epicness.

-the text is unbearably hard to read. maybe make it bigger?

-adding a border will make it look crisper and more professional

i whipped up a quick reference that covers most of the point i mentioned. if you want to try and iprove it and need a visual aid, this should help.
