i like the art of it .. don't like the crumpled paper effect >.< do something fluid, imo go with the element but still keep it "simple"

hmm noted :D might change it up, i want this series to be minty fresh :)

If you were to take out the text, I would have no idea this has anything to do with water. Just looks like a random tribal design. It's way too uniform and symmetric to give the vibe of water.

Well he did say it was a new "series" so I think he meant he was starting out slow, and building up. I know you have potential, so I know this is just the beginning. Can't wait to see some more of this "series". :)

I was thinking about it again, and decided to get rid of the crumpled paper and add a bit more:

lemme know what you think please :)

Wow I like this one much better It has more meaning now when you see the word water. I like the different but subtle blue changes for the bg gives it some more form than just one solid blue.

Also a note idea, maybe the paper idea isn't so bad but you might want to leave it for the Earth instead :D

Edit: I notice top white border has a little light white extra border under it. might want to clean it up :)

Nice compo and it is something nice clean and fresh haha.
V2 is better represents water better maybe some lighting ripple to respemble water but that might make it look less fresh lol
Anyways I wanna see the rest of the series especially fire :D
