The pictures of the characters look a bit blurry on the backgrounds, but otherwise, they look very good!
Yeah, it's kinda blurry But they're pretty good, I particularly like the last one
Keep doing and sharing your nice stuff!
If these are your first tries than you'll defientely improve a lot!

1. You should not extract or "cut out" your own images. You're not good at it and in return you're ruining your signature entirely just by ruining the stock you plan to use. Google or search DA for some "anime extractions" or "anime renders" and use some pre-cut ones until you get more familiar and comfortable with tools.
2. All 3 are not very appealing.
Signature #1 has 3 different stocks in it? Why? Stick to one person in a signature if you can make it work very well then you maybe can get away with successfully having two, but you're not at that point yet. Otherwise I can't tell whatever else that brown "effect" you put over it is, but it looks ugly.
Signature #2 the face and skin are WAAAY to bright. If you can't properly see your stock then you already goofed up and killed your signature again. First you killed it with horrible cutting and now it's waaaaaaaay too bright. The background looks poorly smudged and blurred and looks a mess. Also up until this point I had not noticed you even have text on it. Text does not stand out at all. Use a contrasting color like a darker blue over the lighter blue. Not a light blue on a light blue.
Signature #3 Hello there again using 2+ stocks in the same signature. The B&W sig with that single splash of color on the main extraction makes it stand out like a SORE THUMB. Not pretty. There's nothing there to tie it down to it's background. Whatever is going on in your background anyways doesn't appeal to your stock choice anyways.. Are those... Branches?!...
So yeah. I know they are your first, but that doesn't mean I'm going to lie to you and tell you they are good. In todays times there's no excuse. There are so many different resources and tutorials out there for you to view on your program. DA has PLENTY of signature tutorials. We also have a tutorial section on this site.
My first suggestion is quit using your own cutouts. Use someone elses HQ and clean extractions. Doing this alone will improve your signature dramatically. Next, use different medias. Try some cool brushes (nothing crazy, crazy brushes & object brushes never fair well), look for some textures, some fractals, download some fonts. Get your resources together. After this I want you to work in foreground, middleground, and background. Your BG consist of anything behind the stock, your middleground should be your stock, and foreground should be something infront of your stock tying it into your background.
With that good luck.

I am not a signature expert, so I guess that's why they look fine to me. I mean improvement will come with time. They look good for a first try =]
Other then the pre-cut out images the detail used in the backgrounds itself look great!
