In Flames Tribute

http://www.pici.se/pictures/eopigYygD.png

Well this is my new sign. It's a tribute to my favorite band In Flames (Swedish, Melodic Death Metal Band). I really dont know what to think about it. What do you think? Please tell me if I should change something. :p

um the difference filter on the pen tool is not working for me, netither the text
and i dont see any flames there (just talkign abt therelation ofconcepts XD)
the image and the bg blend well, its like i m seeing a shadow on a wall buit its looking nice.

Well.
first Dont ever use filter gallery. there arent any good effects there to use.
I think you over sharpened some places there.
plus, text need some work.
I dont know about stock/render, If I didnt know what is it, I woulnd understand.
I suggest you to see some tutorials out here :)
good luck.

P.S I like metal too :D
In flames are nice

dont ever use filters? What about sharpen and blur. ANd what about gaussian blur. Hell diffuse isnt too bad either.
I would say use it sparingly.

IMO thwe BG is oversharpened and a bit bland. Render is in a good spot compo wise. You have soe decent depth going but would like to see some more effects.
The inflames text is a bit harsh. Would have liked to see a different color. Something not as pur. Like a grayish color or something.

Overall not bad, but needs work.

Drenched in fear is great.

Displace and ripple are handy sometimes too. :D


The sig is alright but i done like how sharp this is and the text would be better not in white.


In Flames are quite good ;)

Yea, I know, I almost always oversharp, thats cuz I love sharpen and I have to learn no to over use :P I'll see into finding a better colour, Like you are saying a grayer colour should work better. Thanks for comment :)

PS. I agree, Drenched in fear is great!

Sorry can't help it love sharpen, I'll have learn not to. :P Thanks for comment :)

I have a solution for youre shapened fever. Topaz Vivacity.
There you can play around with the amount settings of sharpness, and many other life savings things to ;)

Keep up the good work bud ^u^

hehe.
you got owned by yourself.
Blur, sharpen, etc is in filters, but not in filter gallery.
neon glow galss efects. useless.
and they are in filter GALLERY

well i say u can use the filter gallery only to maybe an applied image, and then overlayed or something, sometimes u can make cool effects, but other than that dont use nething from the filter gallery :D

...as for sharpening, i used to love sharpening my sigs too, but to me it was a phase and eventually, like me, i think ull look back and hate yourself lol :P

in flames is awesome, pretty decent job text needs some work i like the pentool work
