I feel this one turned out quite well. I'm very happy with the result.

^^ not bad, jw where is that render from i feel like i've seen it from somewhere....

i think overall it could use alittle more of the basics

the render seems to just be smacked on top and doesnt really have an blending with the bg at all.. the bg itself is alittle flat imo and could use more depth and effects. the tag as a whole could use more foreground effects too

also not a fan of the text being up in the corner, it really pulls away from your focal and hurts the composition. would look better alittle smaller and much closer to the focal

keep working at it

yeah text is my achillies heel.

It's important that you read and listen to his advice carefully.
Because that is just about everything that I would have said.
Also, remember, it's also pretty good to have some flow in your signatures.
With too much static, a signature could lose it's attractiveness.

I figured putting a swirl effect in the back right behind the render would kinda recreate some flow. D: lol

[jbkilla]

even a swirl doesnt create a great flow effect, because its going in a swirl.
you really want to concentrate the flow into a single direction (tho this doesnt mean that it has to be a straight line). usually flow is decided off the placement and orientation of the focal/render/stock.

and about the text, ive found in my past that text isnt always necessary and a majority of the time a tag will look better with out it. If text is an absolute must (as it seems to be in the sotw here :yuck: ) its better to make it small, plain, and close to the focal (or as unnoticeable as possible). once you get a good hold on creating effective typography, it can REALLY help a tag and make it better, but until then, it can drastically hurt a good tag ^^
