Um...yeah...possible sotw entry. It feels very unfinished for some reason, and I feel like it needs some form of text, but no ideas are coming. Cnc would be greatly appreciatted, as would be chicken nuggets.
needs.moar.light. I see you have the light source there, that's all good and nice, but it still looks too dark. Otherwise, it's pure win. As for text, I'd say a font like Times New Roman or Palatino Linotype or whatever in black behind his neck-jackety-thing. but maybe not. I'm not very good at text. :P
You're going to HAVE to teach me how to use some of those effects. Liking the depth in this, and the flow is pretty nice too. Though I'd decrease the contrast of the light and make it so it slowly gets darker into the rest of the tag. And maybe bring it a little over to the right of the stock a little, but still in the effects over on that side. The black lines are cool. Though I'd maybe take a couple of those out. It's very attention grabbing. As for text.... leave it out. It looks epic the way it is. But most importantly... ADD MOAR COLOR. It needs reds, blues, yellows, all that stuff. But gentle hues of them, not just straight up primary red. Good job.
Cin, I hate you for you epic sigs yet at the same time I love you. Add a bit more light and maybe some text. And no chicken nuggets for you. Black men don't share chicken.
very dynamic/awesome tag. The lighting in this is fantastic, and so are the depth as well as the flow. very good job.
