Its much harder to render a real person and do a real person sig...but here I go.  I actually made my own background for him instead of using a pre-made background....an d even have like ten different layers.  I don't think I have ever used so many layers.  Only used to effect on this one. Usually I use only a few layer and a lot of effects.

Really? Usually any signature I make has between 30-50 layers. Do you just put a lot on each layer or not really do a lot of stuff? I usually put each different thing on it's own layer unless I felt it belonged together to accomplish the effect I wanted that layer to give. For example, my fill pattern would be on one, my stock on another, my initial background on another, my border on another... so basically before I even begin work creating the actual signature I've already got 4-5 layers initially.

 

Though tbh I haven't made any new signatures in several years just because I don't have the inspiration or time to really work on them. Typically spent an hour or so per signature creating different textures, effects, and making my own brushes for the job.

Well I do merge my layers a lot.  I did this time too...but don't remember how many times.  I do a lot of things to each layer before I finish.  I do take a minimum of an hour on each I do.  Mainly because I always end up changing my mind.  Also I have a much different process from you.  I start from my stock render and build upon that.  Also as I stated before, I always edit each layer several times before I am finished with it.
