My attempt at a sig

Look at the OP, it said it was just a base. lol
@Wolf. Thanks for the critique, I will play around with it more.
@others To be fair, I hadn't really made anything this decent, most of my sigs are boring, bland, and generally like a 2D puppet. So, I take any suggestions, positive or negative, as I would like to be able to create something… better than my previous attempts.
My thoughts: Take the lines off of the alien head and brighten it up a bit so it stands out from the background. Also, lighten the lines some and maybe put some simple background (even just a couple of lines doing something different than going horizontally – maybe curves) on the right side to make it not look so empty.
Maybe take a few of the suggestions posted here, try a couple of them on separate images, then post Imageshack / Photobucket links back here for another round of opinions.
Also, try a few fonts that might go with the general feel of the image. Plenty of good free font resources online, and you can post the font choices to one of those image sites as well and link here.

What makes a great program? What makes a great hack? Time, effort, patience, and experimentation. same base rules apply
I like that. I think I will sig that.

please don't.
The sig doesn't look like anything special. Nothing too original. There's plenty of tutorials on photoshop and gimp/ gimpshop. there's been worse sigs here.
