hmm, not too keen on that font, the stroke doesnt work well here, definatly something to improve on. ive also seen better brushing from you, so work on that for the next stretch. render could stand out a little more, and it looks like theres an overlay layer that goes through the text and over the render, not sure if it works here, so try it with out that.

its prob one of your best peice of work... question, how do you do the pixal stretch? is there a tutorial on here for it?

zomg another pixel stretch. Ne ways it looks good except for the really bad choice of font. Also it looks as though you forgot to cut out a section by the sword. And the blur on the right (at least thats what i think it is) looks ok but i don't know.

Try adding a color balance layer above the brushing and under the pixel stretch. Looks good, but I'd change the font.
