Only my third sprite tag, the other two I made where just me messing around and look like crap compared to this, and this was also my first time following a tut, so go ahead and CnC dat bit.
Well, first of all: The background is kinda pixelated... it isn't appealing to the eye. (no offense) And the left part of the background looks kinda empty.
The colors go well together and it flows well. However, use brighter colors for the clipping on your name. Add a C4D of the particle kind to help the flow. Lower Dialga some and maybe add a gradient map or two. Still loving it~
You should use tuts more often, this result is wonderful for your level. :3 I really like it and I haven't seen anything this good from you ever. The only things I have problems with is the text an the strange blur to the right of the stock and the stock not being blended.
Wow. Big step up dude. Looks good. I'm liking the fx put on the right side for Dialga. The left has too much empty space. Empty space is good, but too much can affect the tag overall. Text looks good, matches nicely. Try adding some soft brushes with similar lighter/darker colors around the left side on some mode, to make it not too visible but color oriented. Good job. Keep it up.
