    I tried LOTS of new stuff here. Taking parts, moving over, more 1px brushing (addiction, tbh). Um clipping masks, 1 c4d I think, etc.
    So C&C?

    The horizontal lines detract from the flow, avoid using them. And the composition is a bit too long, shortening it will benefit the signature.
    Colors are nice, as are the clipping masks. You're blending has improved quite well, but you need to work on your text a bit more.
    You're improving nicely :)

    I like it, I think your text fits in it really awsome to. The c4ds give it more depth, 8/10 :)

    This, but the horizontal lines don't look like lines, they look like boxes. You should really remove those mr. gfx mod.

    What horizontal lines are you talking about? The VERTICAL boxes? And do you mean like it has TOO much stuff added?
    Thanks. :)

    Thanks!

    Hey Harped, again.
    So are you talking about the 2 boxes on the left and the right?

    Ahh yea, I didn't see the top or bottoms of the boxes, so I was under the impression they were just vertical lines.
    And I mean the actual PHYSICAL length of the composition- it's too long.
    Nonetheless, it's good :) And congratulations on the promotion once again man!

    Text is WAY off. The colors don't jump out whatsoever. You need more contrast. It's more of an everywhere sig. It has no flow. It needs more fluent effects. And, you never sharpen anything. Just stick to those key things. OH, and a light source. A good effective light source.

    I think you have horizontal and vertical mixed up, haha. And I guess it is a bit too long, I'll try smaller next time.
    Thanks, you too. :D

    Thanks. :)

    I was having a hard time with text, and I was about to just leave it but yeah, it sucks. It is a little boring/flat when I look at it, and it doesn't really have a good flow. I completely forgot about light source. :(
    I actually did sharpen, and blur the background, but I guess it wasn't effective enough. More to come, thanks.
    I'm so happy your back. :)

    The only thing I would recommend about sharpening is not sharpening by hand. Just use the sharpen button like once or twice and erase over the parts that are too sharp :D.

    I find It easier to apply image, sharpen twice and blur parts I want by hand...

    Occasionally I actually apply image twice to create more depth, one layer blurred, rub away from it, and then another layer sharpened and rub away from it.

    Text placed completely wrong.
    Theres almost no depth and lighting.
    The way you tried to achieve the overlaying effect did not work that good also. it makes the image look flat as it takes all the depth away.

    In short
    The effects look rather dull, and theres no real color that catches my eye.

    But you can do alot better than this.
    Your current tag looks much better then this one (although the text could use work in all of your pieces.)

    Cool, thanks.

    Oh okay, thanks.

    I never did get better at text. :(
    I tried to add depth, failed and I forgot about lighting.
    Oh yeah I was experimenting a little, but I guess I failed. xD
    Thanks for the feedback, I'll be making another one really soon. :)
