I agree, sigs do make it feel more "official" like you could see it in a gallery.
I'm front paging it! Two more and you'll be open for scouting :)

Wooo! Thanks a heap, Tom!
Being married to an artist, I can tell you signatures in pieces are pretty much the norm for established artists. It is kind of like a "trademark", so, if you deviate your style a bit people can still see a signature and tell it was created by you.
It's pretty standard in traditional art, but for a lot of digital art I see they don't use one. It beats using a watermark in my mind, which doesn't really offer anything of value to the piece besides protection for the artist.
ugh, i hate watermarks! you're trying to scope out some nice tits, and there's "WHATHISFACE.DEVIANTART.COM" slapped across the areola. very distracting.
er...i mean...uh...yeah, go JamesLee!

I personally prefer that there are no signatures on digital art, but I completely understand why you would do that. Although if it's integrated in a creative way, that's awesome.
