I've been working in Photoshop for a while now and I've made various graphics for RPG related sites. Most of what you'll see below are related to fictional characters I have made, using real life actors and/or models. Some are showcase graphics for forums, others just for fun. So tell me what you think, all non flaming critique is accepted. I've posted links to avoid it getting image heavy for slow connections. Enjoy. A personal signature graphic of myself. http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y283/m ...

I did not see in the rules that non Neopets related links were bad. Please let me know if I'm wrong, I will remove it. http://genroleplaying.proboards104.com/index.cgi
You should work more with the layer blending modes. Also, gradient maps and saturation layers would make it better. As scorpio said, try using some brushes and filters and work on the depth a little more. Said this, I think they're good for what they were made, but technically they could be better. Just keep working.
I like your Doso signature, I think that's your best one. I agree with what the others have said; keep practicing and working on blending and textures and stuff and they'll look great.
