    blend in spheres. remove glow. remove border. effect c4d is shit not your fault, but you shouldn't have used it. bottom bit is annoying. nice colours though.

    I'm not big on text, so I'll make it really small. I updated V2 (with your suggestions) and V3 (your suggestions + text) into the first post. CnC please.

    I disagree, he blends them in perfectly.

    um its decent, i personal think you should do another 1 with the c4d in it but mess with the c4d's colors and try to blend them in with the other's.

    ok awesome, much improved. You could try and implement an effect c4d. Don't put it in the blue bit, just put it so it flows with the pink smudging towards to spheres. Try and adjust the hue so its a complementary colour.

    Lighting doesn't make sense on the pink sphere

    ^that struck me too.

    Also, squidge gave some pretty epic advice, and he was right, it looks much better now, though i think the second sphere should be blended too.

    I like the second outcome, although, the orbs seem a bit too dull. The soft brush on them, in my opinion, would be better if it took up more of it. They're too small.

    Thanks for all the constructive criticism guys. Most people would just be like 'i don't like it'

    KIABIN, I'll make the white soft brushing bigger, and post another version.

    @Xjaa, the green isn't lighting, its just part of the original background. I had another version done without the pink orb and two white circles, so I'll also post that.

    That's not exactly what I was imposing, and yet I like the turnout of the latest version. Better focal in my opinion.
