Ssstock I swear this one looked lighter on PS and when I uploaded it on PB <.< Also, this is my third time using this stock, hurray for lack of originality! =D Cncwhateva.
I really like this one. :3 Like I said on MSN, the depth in here is really really nice, and I like the sort of rustic feel that it has. The distortion and the clipping masks add nice touches, but I'm not crazy about the checkerboard; they always seem out of place. The text could use a bit of work, but it's not horrible. Try experimenting with new and different fonts. The pentooling I have mixed feelings about. :\ Nice job. :3
Added two new versions. I dunno about the BW one, I suppose I was enough bored to make one just to see how it looked XD. Added the stock as per request.
This was my failed attempt at using the stock almost 2 years ago. Looking at mine and yours, they aren't really THAT different, there's not much you can do with the stock. Cool as it is, it's pretty ****** cause you can barely do anything with it without it looking terrible. Decent sig, I was gonna say to remove the checkerboard and text, but you seem to have already done that. Up the opacity on the pentool in the foreground, it looks bad/inconsistent with the rest of the sig when it's see-through. (Might wanna sharpen it too)
I know what you mean, the first time I used the stock I wanted to try many things, yet when I put it on a canvas... =\ Done. I swear I left that layer at 100%, but when I checked it was at 75%. <.<;
Yeah, I'm liking V2 better. It looks alot better without the checkerboard and text. Although the pentool, I have mixed feelings.
