Yeah, I like it a lot, just gotta keep experimenting until I'm able to use it properly, I'm aware that it's not for all situations. Care to elaborate more about the blur x darken?
I honestly just blurred because of reasons, funny thing is that I don't even notice it now, must be a feel that comes with time. If by unimportant parts you meant the thing to the right or the clothes, I see them as needed because of the character. That's a Wanderer from Ragnarok Online and the clothes and the weapon are really important to define it, otherwise there's no way I'd be able to know it, more of a personal matter I guess. Hm, I'm really bad with backgrounds, what kind of bgs would you suggest there?
Relax, just be cool. As long as you're not mindlessly flaming people or being arrogant, it's all fine. Feedback is always good and I'm sure all of us who're making signs appreciate it.
Random thoughts:
Yeah, lowering the opacity should be good. I honestly didn't noticed the blood until I read your random thoughts rofl. I think the left are could use just a little bit more of content, not sure if moving the blood would be the answer. The bottom left corner is a bit weird imo.
Your usual style is really good but this one was also great, though it's visible that you're not used to it. If you're enjoying it, keep it up.
