I wanted to give the effect of sonic going into warp-speed, I really like how the little blurs make the face and fist stand out. I'm still working on the text, I'm not really sure how to do it, or even where, so if you have suggestions please share them. Version 2 - Fixed some blur problems, changed text and outline. So...

The render contrast is pretty good but too blurred. Try to sharpen up some of the effects or make some that are more visible. The text could also be better. Pretty much what you stated in your post.
OK, I'm going to make version 2. changes: - Black Outline - Less blur - Text will float in the light blue effect [tempting]
That's pretty nice. Fit's the style of the render. But I think it could use some more effects and foreground stuff. Nice work
