I got a new laptop to do some work wherever i may be ;P the wallpapers were abit boring... so i took stome stocks and this is what i came up with:

CnC? ;D

its not terrible.

Good lighting on the hand, but that smudging on the edge needs work.
The orb itself is decent, but it looks too much like an orb. there hardly any firery effects aroudnt he middle of it! What's the deal? it looks like a ball that just had it's fire doused out. make it look like it was just covered in gas and lit up.

Not bad, overall cool idea, but needs work.

Thanks for the input, gunna look into doing a few more effect =]
