v2:

i made a v2 changed the text around a bit.

V text ftw. Not rly a fan of the diagonal text. Maybe just a regular garamound would make the v1 text better.

Lighting is a bit bright imo. I'm not rly a fan of the soft brush lighting.
The BG has awesome flow. great job with that.
Effects arent bad either i just think this really struggles with depth.
Seems to be little depth unless you blur the bg.

I'd like to see this a littly less chaotic around tehr ender, but that isnt a huge deal.
Overall pretty good job i'd say. The black and white is cool, it works.

had to do b&w lol. the stock was in b&w :p

Lol. Don't really have any choice there eh? I like version two, as usual, the second version is better. :D Nice effects but maybe the lighting could've been in another place. Putting it there sort of ruins it. But anyway, good sig

how does it ruin it? to create good lighting you have to look at the original stock or render and see where it is brightest and create the lighting based off of that.
