this little bugger is actually my favourite thing in DDD so far: Also made this one: I just got photoshop up and running again, so I'm VERY rusty. Cnc pls and thanks :)
I find the colours in the first one so satisfying to look at xD it's nice and sharp at places and not at others which adds a nice dynamic to it, plus it's a good quality stock picture. I do think the Prickmane should be blended in a bit more to the background as at the moment I feel it stands out more than it should. I love the effects you've used around the render (is it duplicating the layer and smudging/setting it to different blending options?) but it does feel like it's just a bit of an extended outline to the main stock which isn't always a bad thing as it looks very nice and draws your eye toward it but it feels like it makes it contrast the background a lot. As for the Rachel one (<3 FRIENDSSSSS! WOO!) Nice choice of colours and the background is very creative, I love the smudged circles as it gives an interesting feel. I don't really have as much to say about this one as I think it's a nice golden colour, I mean it could just be my preference but I'm never a big fan of simply one colour in a signature, I always like having more than one to add more of a contrast. Everything is very golden and brown when you could have added some other complimentary colours in just to bring the gold out a bit more. Of course, that is just me being nitpicky though! I absolutely love your work and one of my favourite things about your work, and something that is incredibly hard to do in my opinion, is text but you seem to master is beautifully. You always add something different and make it an effect in itself. Well done : D
