    Saved the .psd and xcf because I don't know, it's one of my first b&w pieces.

    Since I'm so desperate of getting some cnc, I'll rep those who give decent cnc. And I don't mean "looking good" or "that part is too dark". At least 3 sentences =\

    CanplzC?

    Damn, dude, that's pretty sick.
    There's only a few things here that bug me.
    NUMBER 1:
    The lighting.
    It's pretty good, but not very well placed. Since well, the light should be really close to his face, cause that's what the stock sayz.
    The random spots on the left need to go too, cause they are really distacting and arent doing much.
    NUMBER 2:
    The blurring.
    Well, I think you should blur things that are farther away, or way to the side.
    Since like, that's how it works in da real world.
    ONE LAST thingy.
    Maybe you should add a little more black to your ****e, likle maybe some splatter/smudge. maybe.
    And yahthat'sprettymuchit.
    REP PLZ

    The lighting is covering the focal, and maybe you may do an apply image, sharpen and erase everything but not the main person.

    Well, if he wanted to something that selective, why not just use the sharpen tool?

    Exactly.

    The blurring is a problem for me mainly because I don't know how to blur well. In GIMP, a brush blurs through like how the tag is shown. I've faced my lighting there because that's what popped up to me most in the tag itself (The white shirt). I can fix it a little, now that I look at it. It's funny, I was adding black splatter brushes around and was wondering it it'll look good and ended up taking it away because usually my splatters don't fit my tag. Should've left it lol. Thanks for the cnc man.

    I've had a problem though, I try to rep but it says to spread around first. I haven't repped you in like...never. I never have. And I've repped one person a hell of a long time ago. So why can't I rep you? >_> A problem I gotta' figure out.

    Thanks for the comment both of you.

    Anymoar?

    Yeah, I haven't repped Danger Mouse in like 6 months and I still can't rep him. >.>
    First of all, like Danger Mouse said, smudge over those circles on the top left. That circle on his chest is also a little random. The text is okay, but maybe feather it just a bit? The little line thinger on the top left should be rotated to match the rest of the flow, but otherwise this is really good. Nice job. ;D

    Hm. Well I planned on putting the light on his chest. I don't know where else to put it that isn't too vibrant or too soft.

    The rotation of the top left, I can do. Feathering text as well.

    Thanks for the comment.

    btw; misty. It says i have to spread my rep before repping you again. What the **** is wrong? This never happened to me before...

    Sorry for the spam...

    But yeah, to me it seems like you rep someone once and you can never rep them again. It sucks. >.>

    I wonder what mood you are trying to create in this sig - having it clear should help loads. To me it looks like you want it to look like a serious person thinking hard about how to get out of a tough situation, almost Sin City style. To this, the background seems a bit too empty - very weak shapes could help, maybe something suggesting a rain storm? That's what the lines in the front made me think about. The white spots don't fit at all, sorry - it's just too random and collides with the sharpness of the original picture.

    If you are going to edit this *I read you still have the workfile intact?*, show us any changes you would make.

    Well the mood was actually nothing but a classic bnw tag xD Now that I think about it, my mood was probably betrayal and regret.
