The smudge effect is very overdone on the right side, but other than that, it looks pretty well done. The color variation is great and so is the stock. Overall, I give it a 9/10.
You should have left the left shoulder (his right) intact, it would have given an extra depth feel to the tag. The sharpness is a bit eye straining, but I guess you can't do anything with it now, blurring it would just ruin the effects. The tag is still good and a lot better then the generic render+soft brush+gradient crap we see everyday :v And yeah left side > right.
I rarely say this, but I actually do not like this one. The effects are too overdone and so it makes it a complete mess of sorts. Leave some of it alone with the smudge effects, quit playing with the sharpness of it and it will look decent.
its very good but the right side is whats bothering me... its like blah!! but its good i'll rate it 8.5/10
Left side is ****ing boss dude. I think you should scrap the right, it's the uggos. ****'s pretty nasty. But at least it isn't brushing with downloaded brush packs. @vexen - smudge tags are supposed to look messy :l The basics are there, and I can point to you where the flow, depth (although it's not very apparent), lighting and colour usage is if you want. @Xidonnnnnnn - left shoulder hnnnnnngh at first I wasn't going to smudge it but I was like fuk dis shiet lets do it anywayz Also number ratings are pretty homosexual.
