Just because you want to get away from bright colors, doesn't mean you have to get rid of color on the sides. Not bad. He looks like he's riding a comet. Very cool. 8.5/10
Ok now some real Cnc I like the concept of the sig and it's very awesome like that, but the like grayish thing off the bright red needs to go (outside it) I like the puff of smoke, the problem is you should've(in my opinion) put it infront of him a little I say put a border on it seems kinda plain without the border other than that stuff its awesome
DAAAAAAAM Chaser... Oh wait thats not your name any more O.o hahah. Anyway CnC now, The sides are to bare maybe a teensy bit more of effects ( that doesn't make sense but you get what i mean. The colors to the side of the focal are way more vibrant then the focal, it takes away from it away from the focal point. Excellent depth i'm really loving the colors but the light source isn't strong enough =/. This is great so far but could use a wee bit more.
I really like this sig and the use of the red. It looks like he is surrounded by flames. Better than I'll ever do. Good job!
If you look closely you can see some small hues of red on the sides, and it´s negative space XD. Thanks :3. For the border, tried and didn´t liked it at all =\. I told you about your comment on MSN, so yeah (Too lazy to copypaste <.<). And thanks. Kthanx o-o.
