    IMO it needs more motion blending effects to it and the border might look a lot better as a four sided 1px but very nice overall. KIU!

    Ok, so I was way too tired to be CNC'ing when I did yours, so here is another one.

    The orb at the bottom by his face has too much contrast, maybe make it it's own layer and add a nicely spead glow to it, with a nice soft brush, to make it appear like a more realistic light source. The speckles are really well done so I like that, but again I just don't feel the movement here, maybe duplicate the render layer behind the main one with a nice hard smudge so you don't loose the crispness of the focal but it makes it look like he's moving really fast you know?

    His left arm and his back need more blending to merge it with the background, but keep the other areas crisp like you have them now, I like how clear it is, it's not overdone in that aspect. I think also that some glowing pentool work from by his face (kind of like how the flash has those lightning bolts near his temples) would bring a lot to this sig, but I would do it more along his cheekbones on this piece.

    The lower left corner feels a bit lonely to me, you could maybe add your name there with some nicely blended and angled \\ text to it to follow the lines of motion along his arm and blur/smudge the colors outward to make the transition to black flow a bit more.

    I really like the colors and the concept. I would maybe suggest burn/dodge on him to add some depth to make it really pop. There isn't enough depth for me to really love it. Example: There aren't really any shadows or lighting effects going on but his face/head has a lot of glow on it, but where is the light coming from (other than from the orbs you have, which is good, they just aren't really blended as well as they could be.

    I really do like this so I really hope you don't feel like I'm telling you it's crap or anything, it's not, it's really good, but it could be amazing if you spent a little time cleaning it up and thinking about how to make it multidimensional.

    Very nice piece all in all though, keep up the great work!!

    I really enjoy reading this. I wouldn't care if you'd shit on me completely (wich you didn't), I would still enjoy it. I learn from this and actually memorise it for my next tag. I won't edit the one I already made though. But again, I really enjoy long CnC's. Thanks for that. =]

    i like the largeness of the render, it makes it look more realistic for me bro.
    i think the effects could use some work, but the blur is pretty nice.
    can i have this render dude? i cant find it in my documents for some reason.

    Ooh, this sig has its fancy pants on!

    His right cheek looks like someone tried to turn him into a lego and the light near his left cheek could use some blurishness, I think topas tried to make it into a square (silly topaz). Other than that it's pretty darn fancy. It has so much depth that I could see other sigs drowning in your sig. O.O Mhmm. The people who make those other sigs wont like that one bit.

    Did you render it too? If I knew I would've used yours, no doubt.

    Very awesome tag, the only thing that I think would make it better is a little more effects
