    This is my first one in 2008. Pretty late.

    I think I lost my touch.

    Last one I made was about 06/04/07.

    Long time eh?

    Well, Its not all that great.

    Creator - AlanRender

    Render - Draven (Thanks :tongue: )

    Used - CS2 and Adobe Elements 6.0 ( AE6.0 was just for touch ups.)

    Self Rating - 6/10 -_-

    Outcome

    Sorry to shoot you down mate but from one designer to another, i gotta say you have along way to go.

    Try some tutorials, get to know your tools pallet better, and try to understand the technques used in tags better.

    I dont say this to crush you because its not my intentions at all ( i remeber my first tag, a wolvarine sig, made pure 100% default filters... its got blamed to hell!!! but looking back on it i can see where i went wrong, and its all apart of learning.

    Try some tuts, your a plat member so imsure there are heeps of extras recources you can get your mits on.

    Hmmm. First the canvas is really large, which makes it hard to make a good tag. Only guy I know that effectively makes enormous tags is Nasuul. Haha.

    It's over contrasted, the depth just isn't there. The repeated edge of the guy is sort of buggin me. Work on your text and colors too. ^_^

    Do some tutuorials. It's hard to expect yourself to be able to make awesome stuff after a longgggg break. Tutorials tutorials tutorials. Follow them all the way through, step by step, just to get your mojo back. ^_^

    Canvas is too large.
    Try something like 350*120 or so.
    Like all said, tutorials are your friend.
