Making an album cover for my friend

I'm doing this for my friend's up and coming rap group Tre-Dae. Any suggestions you guys have for improving it.

And I don't like the Judgement Dae font, any suggestions for that.

I'd take off the bevel on the text, but I can't think of any good fonts for that. Was the design mostly their idea? That's an interesting choice, even though from a purely design aspect I don't really like it.

I dont like the color and the render should stand out a bit more, its not rendered well either..other than that nice job...work on ur fonts though.

Without the inner shadow (what it actually was ;) )it looked even worse. I sent the guy a link to www.dafont.com to pick a font.

I made something that looked like the brushing around the top all over when he said 'make it say Tre-Dae and Judgement Dae. Then he liked the colours and that gave him the idea for having a 'fallen angel' since it's judgement dae.

pretty cool man, just take off the bevel on the text and maybe use a standard default font like impact with a custom pattern over it or sumthing

well personally, i dont like it alot but if u worked on it it could come out nice and maybe change render cuz i dunno za skeleton maybe just seems more toward rock than rap. Just a suggestion

Thanks for the feed everyone, I've been trying some new fonts and stuff.

And on render topic, it's one my friend picked out. I might as well just say this: the skeleton, Tre-Dae font, and general colour theme have to stay.

I like it. i just saw a recird that looked like it used similar techniques but it had a very VERY pink color to it lol

i think you should make that skelton there stick out more, and use overlay on the bottom text to blend it more

I tried out something else. Still not sure on the Judgement Dae text.

That's a mic around his neck. Can't see it as well at this lower resolution.
