Ooh~! I love the text and the background, works real well :] Well, the whole thing's just awesome xD I prefer the first version, Xemnas seems clearer. Great job on both~ ^w^
You did a very good job with the background, color, and the effects, but the actual render looks looks bright. I wouldn't try that again, but everything else looks incredible.
I see a difference in Ver. 1 so, I pick that one, just because it all blends, and yet, the highlights looks a bit bright. Still, amazing job. 10/10.
Thanks! Version 2 looks better on the Darker forums with darker backgrounds (that 'white' is actaully transparent), so what I did was make one for white forums and one for my forums which is all black. Haha. I'll get a screenshot to show you what I mean by transparent. I think you'll understand a bit then why I made that second version.
