#6: Looks pretty nice. Try sharpening parts of it though. It looks low-quality to me, but it may just be me. Looks nice.

#5: Also nice for one of your first pieces. Overall, it's pretty nice. I don't like the dark feel to it though. Orb in the middle was a good choice :). Try some other techniques besides C4Ds.

#3: Different. Not that bad. I like how you didn't use too many (or any at all) C4Ds. If you added those lights on his hands, goodjob :). Text looks nice (black on red, red on black, nice). Try using the pen tool, it looks really nice.
Also, try doing a splatter clipping mask.
To do so, get a splatter brush (search on google, tons), and make a new layer. Paint over it once, and hide that layer. Then make a new layer, go to Image -> Apply Images, and leave the settings alone. Now right click on that applied image, and click "Use previous layer to make clipping mask". Now, click Ctr+T, and flip-vertical. Now unhide the previous layer, and vala!

#2: Nice technique you used there, overall pretty good.

#1: Pretty good outcome. Easy tutorial, isn't it xD?

Goodjob man, your getting really good at graphics. I'll be looking forward for more graphics from you ;).

I hope this post helped you :).
 
Thanks for the post draucia ill definetly take your criticism into consideration. I shall try to attempt what you said in 3 though when you said paint over that layer do you mean with splatter brush?

A splatter brush is a brush with splatter on it (hmm...). Here:

[Click Here]

That should help you out a bit :).
When you make the layers, try sharpening them, it helps.
I would love to see one with clipping masks.

Ha ha, no prob. I didn't get what a clipping mask was for a while. :p
Maybe this will explain it.

Situation: Your making a flyer advertising Hawaii. You want to write text in it, but you also want a beach IN the text. You could cut it out from the beach picture, and paste it onto the text (which would take a while), OR you could just making a clipping mask: Make a layer with text on it, make another layer with the beach on it. Right-Click the one with the beach on it, and click "Use the previous layer to make a clipping mask", and your done. You should have parts of the beach on the text.
I hope that helped, but maybe a tutorial will explain it much better.
I actually think your signatures and larger art are good for someone at your level. REALLY good. My first signature was a green background with a cartoon render on it (Toph, from avatar). So yeah..
 
i like them all :L

rekon you could make me one?
