That second one is friggen tubular. Great job man, nothing I don't like about them! aha. Brilliant work. KIU
Its a render. I used a gray background and worked with c4ds and clipping masks. .....and a lot of adjustment layers
I don't know, it just looks like you saved them all as .jpg's or something. Know what I'm talking about?
The second is definitely great, a tutorial would be awesome . The other two have waay to much negative space, a crop might be helpful for those.
Maybe I should try Image Shack... I definitely get the feeling that some of my tags look better in Photoshop before I upload it. Though I'm using Tinypic. Edit: Actually, maybe I should just save as a .png.
