Vampy lemme just say luv the name xD Second you really do have the feel for gfx I can see clearly what your trying to pull off here and they all have feeling to them...
You know your rough spots and your using your talents to there full

your relaly good with smudging/blur thast a totally good thing and you can use that to your advantage when it comes time for oyu to practice out your dodge/burn tool for that lighting your talking about ^^

taking a page from my friend Xelo and he will tell you, if your unsure about text just leave it out :P

Text might be one of the last things you wanna worry about especially because it is usually the last thing your ganna put on a sig anyways XD...

For now just get a good style going and play with text as a second hobby lol but don't really listen to me cause I'm an idiot when it comes to text also

GL, an Welcome to the void Vampy hope to see your kick ass name more often

p.s 3rd one was my fav ^^
