moodkip <3! First one: Stock is a bit low quality, and I would have made it larger. Right now she's kind of drowning in the effects. Texture is nice, but it's much too bright. Work on how you place your light. Text is alright. Second one: Much better than the first, but it seems like you're still stuck in this same general style. I like the effects. The render's a bit choppy, so clean that up. Stock's cute, but light is a bit off. They're not bad, especially if you've been away for a while.
<3 Glad to see a familiar face giving CnC. Thanks there are a few techniques I've forgotten in the span where I left the GFX world, inculding how to make a bad render look good. xD I'll definately work on my techniques in the time to come, hoping to inspire a new generation of gfxers on this site as it looks like it's getting a little too boring here. <3 The Sexy Sig Maker is back baby!
