In the first im lovin the head but the effects dont really go with it so well. I think youre overusing the clipping mask splatter. The second one would be really cool if i could tell what it was.
I really like that stock in the first one. But I still feel like the effects don't actually go with the focal. Not to mention it's never good to group all the effects at the bottom. Really ruins the balance. Second one is better, imo. But it would improve so much if you fixed up the coloring. Right now, the coloring just makes it look super chaotic. It would just be better in black & white...imo.
Could you two explain how the effects don't go with the focal? I'm not questioning, just trying to get a better outcome. :] And about making the second B&W, I'll have it tomorrow...
