No, not really actually, he sent me the render, he played around alot with the effects, yes he did do some brushing but u cant say its not creative...
he added little scars all around changed the color tone and contrasting of it he made the signature look like he had produced wings but he also added guns at the end of the fingers made it look different upon what he did
this is the problem i have with alot of gfx people and is very debatable.. people base sigs on what u start out with, not with what you end up with, in my opinion if you end up with a good sig, it does not matter what you did to make it
