i think it doesn't look bad, but the background is not so good for the render!

made this, just to show:

just smudge the render a bit, and play with layer styles, lighting and contrasts.

now the render looks more like a part of the sig, tho i didnt even spend 5 min here. if you put much work in this one u should get a nice outcome.

->see the arrows? this fire in the middle, put it right behind his weapon, so move the whole background just a bit. should look great.

just try playing around a bit :)

try to bring the flames as near to the render as possible( bc of your 2 focal points), move it a bit to the right lower side and resize the whole sig. (cut on the right side, ~ 1/4 of the sig.)

and make sure that there arent any hard lines on the borders of the render.dublicate it several times, smudge, blur it and you have to apply some smudging to the bg aswell, bc the render still looks not like a part of the sig.

and add some gradients, so the background and the render are more balanced regarding the colors.

and u better go with a black border ;O

but still better as the first version, keep trying :)
