mmm i love it :D

Your CnC! please!

Lighting looks awesome bro, idk about on his right shoulder...perhaps just a sliver too much lighting? The c4d in the back looks cool, i've never been much of a fan of C4D (used to make em for others, but never could make a sig with em) in sigs, cause i never could do it :P just LP's. Colours look awesome together aswell man, good job.

pretty bright in places tone it down abit, and its a tad empty on the left side try adding some effects. Also it can have a little more depth. But nice tag overall GJ mate

I like it but it looks like it has to much topaz..

Way too much topaz, you killed most of your depth and details.

The render look REALLY washed out and you should really place some C4D's in front of him to help your blending out.

You should really relax on the topaz .. ;O.

i dont know why everyone moans about topaz i love it :D

a bit overtopazed. the lightning is a bit off. decent flow and c4d work here. goodjob nonetheless :D

It's cos topaz isn't meant to be used as an effect. Only to tweek images to give them a little extra pop. As a norm the over use of Topaz will remove all texture from the signature and more often than not will make the image look flat.

OT. Love Mike Shinoda ^^
However not a huge fan of this. Your effects are a little lacking. It looks like the render is just ontop of a couple of a couple of C4Ds. This may be cos of an over use of Topaz that's removed some more of the detail but at the moments it does look like a render ontop of a C4D with another in foreground. Think that you've made it too bright on the bottom of the tag as well and as I like the black borders contrast against the lighter colour, the bright white kinda pulls away from the rest of it. Looks like that's where you've tried to make your Light Source but from the look of the render it needs to come from something around the 11 O'clock position with more shadow than light on the right side.

What I would do from here is remove the topaz that's over the render. Either do it completely or removed it lightly with a mask and a black brush set to something like 30% Opacity and just brush over it to bring back quite a bit of that detail. Then I'd bring down the Brightness you've created at the chest, do a new layer with a soft white brush light source then do a Duplicate Layer and Filter>Render>Lighting Effect to give a little bit more lighting and feel to this. That's just me though so you take any of my advice or leave it all as you want to ^^

My only complaint is the topaz.
