look very good. all i recommend is doing something better for the text. It takes away from the focus of the sig even though its transparent. My eyes should flow to that colorful glow, it starts ti then BAM. text halfway. text should be secondary if it is not the main point of it

One thing I learned in my Illustrator class a couple of semesters ago is that the eyes should be set on a flow around a piece of art. i am still trying to do that effectively. When you start you should come back to the focuses. here the text interrupts the rest of it while everything but the text interrupts the text itself. look at the demon akuma sig you have. my eyes travel back between Akuma and the text. they both work well together but they do not really bother one another

regardless your piece here looks visually appeasing and good. better than what I can do in many terms, but I believe the text can be worked on

Yeah i understand what your saying the text kinda comes at you first and distracts you from the surroundings this is why i made it like a glass effect to maybe help with the flow but it still does not feel right maybe if i shorted the text it may help and thanks for your post it was well put and i enjoyed reading it much appreciated

very well done i think if you make a new sig you should try using akumas torso with your name as his bead neclace

if you dont mind how long did that take you to create???

Original Boss wouldn't fit on the beads unless you had multiple letters per bead and then it would look cluttered

the trick is getting the letters to look like painted ink or engraved letters and not just text. taking a chalk brush and using it to smudge a black glob into appropriate letters or using a proper font and manipulating the text to look like they belong there is the thing to do. though it wouldnt look right with so many letters. unless you use japanese/chinese symbols wherever Akuma is from to spell out the name
