    wouw when I tought the rock signature #1 was a complete disaster cuz of the randomnes(okee i did headed for those efx. but global random look imo with the efx)..
    it comes out to be something awesome :P lol..

    and manahan I think the colored is betetr cuz the focal-depth stands out some more there. the b/w gives me more of an flat feeling.

    I have no idea how I feel about this one

    I like the middle part around the focal but I dunno about the rest. Any ideas?

    Was going to put effect c4ds in but thought they'd mess it up so I didn't. Ikky suggested doing some displacement, so I did that a bit. Also did some coloring work to make the colors more vibrant.

    if their was a mix between those two.
    like the text and focal from V1
    and the outer sides and depth from v2.

    Kiyaa, first one looks best to me :) I'm not liking the left-side of V2 much, but on V1 that looks fine :)

    hmm, seems a mite oversaturated overall to me. you might wanna bump down the contrast too. the effects are real nice!

    Manahan thats such a sick tag. I love the grungy, dissolved background effect. The lighting is nice but the light bulb looks like a gif from a gameboy game. Try to make it look a little more realistic. :S The effects around it seem a bit out of place too. Other than the the yellow lighting works wonders, just on the right side I think it should fade to a bit darker so the lightbulb's light is more real, plus it gets a bit flat.

    Nice work though. :)

    manahan xiou and kiyaa, i like the new tags, the coloring specifically on all of them ^_^ I need to work on coloring if I want to be on par with you guys ;)

    friend of mine IRL wanted a banner using this one wallpaper for HL2, pretty simple, just some manip and brushes, can never get away with any nice effects on a banner sized piece, i clutter it up wayy to fast so I held back this time~
