You're 1 of my favorite artists. It seems though that your style has been slumping lately. Decent sig, but expect alot more from you. Not to mention some of your other sigs lately were even worse. I really love your work, but I wish you'd not show it unless it's pure quality.
Needs more contrast on the second version. Add a curves layer, or something. Also, I don't like the fact that you used topaz/did it so smooth.
Thanks a lot guys for all your comments,having a bit of a hard time of it with designing atm dunno why just hit the wall.
