very interesting.. its a mix but still really good.. kinda confusing though i cant exactly figure it out. lighting is pretty good and text is excellent. so is focal. but if anything i would say work on lighting.. it looks to me like the stock/render should have more lighting on the left side of his head, its brighter there. but it looks like you put your lighting more on his right side
The blending on the figures head is rather good, but he feels out of place. I can't determine the focal between the red glove and the person, they seem to be split. The thing that bothers me most is the skull under the red glove, though. If anything I'd say remove it altogether. Not digging the text so much, though. I think no text and a border would work best, or at least well.
v1 is better. Sexy text is sexy. How do you do that text? Amazing sig overall, but the effects around his head don't look good. Plus, for me, the red hand distracts the focal.
Tell Rob, it may not be your best, but it is one of your best lol. The number one thing that makes this sig seem so perfect is the text. Its like you found the exact perfect font for this tag. I love the effects at the bottom. I really can't figure out what you use, I am assuming some kind of distorted stock, but still it turned out successfully. I love how the red gloves stand out so well from the BG. Nice job ICE.
