It's dark, you added you own touch and it looks like it all is clean and polished, and you followed the tut very nicely. But the spartan is just a tad too blurry and the dots could've been blended better. The text is the one thing that I find to be distracting, it doesn't fit the flow and the placing and color also don't contribute. Also kinda splits the focal.
Looks pretty solid. I don't agree with the text though, i've been told vertical text is a big nono. That and it probably should be blended in more. Other than the text, I like the colors, the flow is nice, depth is good, and the blending is good too.. Nice job i haven't seen you here. I took a look at your previous signatures and thought this one was smexy.
Ya I wasnt too sure about the text, so I think ill probably fix that up when I get a chance. Im just not too sure on what would look good yet Ya i signed up a few years ago, and I was on all the time. I got busy, and stopped coming. I came back this summer though, and this is my first sig since I've been back. It was a little weird getting used to photoshop again .
