i hope i dont sound harsh when i say this, but why do people do those bars at the side? they never seem to work. just ruins the tag. apart from that, you have little to no effects, for me this tag isnt eye grabbing enough, try to add some effects. You have done nicely with the topaz though, at least its not over topaz'd =]

Sound as harsh as you want :) it all helps and my work is still noobish compared to most of you guys at the site.

The bar was used because my stock wasnt large enough to cover the whole area, and I hate having one whole side of the tag being bland. Its a crutch I have been using lately for, like you mention, lack of effects.

thx for the comment <3

You know what works great for when your stock doesn't quite meet the width of your sig? The crop tool! :P

Aside from the right part, which fuzer is right, like the little light effect, it's getting pretty cliche. But apart from that, I like the simplicity of this. Very minimal. I like the floating dots too, though they seem a little...unusably useless. Nice job, keep it up!

if the stock isnt big enough, resize the canvas :P
