Eh, just messing around with a chalk brush

Its a blah sig but if anyone wants it as a gift, go ahead and ask.

The effects in the first one are on! The flow is excellent and the depth ain'too shabby. Coulda used the dodge tool a tad bit in some areas where the colours are dull. The focal is great, though it seems a bit vivid, and if I may say, a bit strectched. Not completely sure though. The text ain't too bad and it looks quite good I say, though you could do without the stroke and the outer glow. Nice piece of work mate, keep trying.

hmm. Not a horrible tag but i'm with you it could use some touchups.

First thing i notice is you oversharpened the render a lot. Tone that down. Make it not so sharp so it doesn't have that pixelly looking edge.

Secondly it needs to be blended more. I like the smudgeing in your BG just overlap it ontop of the edges of your render a bti that way it blends in more.

The coloring is cool, and the effects are too IMO i would ave liked to see a few more spots of sharp effects these look a bit too smooth but not bad.

text isnt bad. I dislike the outer glow though and instead of the gradient looking metal typa blending options, i'd have rather like dot see just a flat color maybe a red or a gray or somehting.

overall not bad

I really like your use of colour, the depth is good. You've done a good job imo with the text. Although papa is a better critique than me

Thanks all. I honestly did this while talking to a friend about a collab, just messing around with stuff as I switched from photoshop to msn.

Never expected anything great from it.

As for the sharpness, I guess the stock I used gave it that feeling as I did not sharpen.

Guess no one wants it as a gift lol, I could have thrown someone's name in there.

This was the sig after about 20 min if anyone cares lol. Had no intention of smudging at the time.
