    Wow guys...this is quite an achievment for me. Not only is this the first sig I made in CS3, it's my first real photomanip. I opened up CS3 hoping to make a nice Deep Dive Vector sig, when I realized I had yet to get any brushes or fonts. So I thought to myself: Aw what the hell. I'll go with photomanip, that's nice and doesn't require brushes or fonts.

    And this was my product, congrats, you people get to see my FIRST photomanip, and most likely will dislike it considering how very fail it is...XD

    Dude, for your first photomanipulation, that is NICE. It makes the scene seem like instead of raining, it's burning hot. All I'm bothered by are those weird things coming out of Roxas...what are those?

    Nice photmanip. No bushes? That is great then. Lots of different effects which make it look like brushes were used. Awesome work.

    Thanks guys, I personally don't like it that much but meh. I guess the only person that can REALLY judge it would be BK, being that he's just...the king of photomanip.

    I like it. But one thing I don't like, is the shine beside Roxas's head.

    Hey, Cin, that's pretty good :).
    I would say take thate weird absract thing out, because it doesn't really match with the rest of the tag.
    The lighting is good, but bright, and if that's made by brushes, then it isn't truly a manip, cause i'm pretty sure manips use all filters and blending mode changes.
    The left side seems a little...weird... and the overall effect it good, but I think maybe a few more small filters wouldn't hurt... like a ripple put at a low opacity sharpened and spattered slightly.
    The colors I like, but they seem to take away the depth in the tag, and make it flat somehow.
    I rather like this tag overall, but it could use some work, such as bluring, sharpening, and thingz.

    Whoa, that thing looks amazing...I like the color and those...spikey things...a lot! The lighting on his head looks a little awkward, but it still looks excellent...and that's about it for stuff that bothers me! I love it! Nice job...it's beautiful!

    Actually, I did not use brushes. That's all lighting filters. I'll admit they're a little bright, but I was going for the scorching hot look. And to be honest, I did actually use spatter layers, ripple layers, and a wave layer as well. I erased a large range of the affects though, and some of it is covered up by the light. I was going to sharpen the tag in some places, but then I realized...that I forgot to do that so I just uploaded it to photoshop...XD

    Anyway, thanks for the cnc, I'll be sure to use some of the techniques I learned on this little venture in future sigs.
