Actually, I haven't been one for ages. It's you retarded people who take it to offense that do. Now you've ruined my streak. Congrats, I'm now going to be an ass to you. If you HAD a brain, and read down the page just a few replies, (Like, three more replies. It's not that hard) you would find that it was all friendly. He didn't feel insulted, he didn't get angry, so there is no need for such a smart-ass reply from you. Hypocrite. He posted the link twice.
v2 is much better. I don't really like the area right next to the him on the right. Its a little busy right there, other wise good spin on the tut. But, I don't like how every tells me they want a tut and then they are all like, tut sucks...
I thought the tutorial was great. Obviously it helped Mace a bunch. Anyways, V2 is much better. The colors work well, and I'm a big fan of purple.
Only differences between mine and yours is slight lighting diffs, render+bg vs stock, and the space stocks used. I pretty much followed the tut exactly. @Rst tut coming up asap...
I did follow it exactly, but there were different circumstances, as listed in OP, which were caused it to drift away from the tut's final product.
