Text is absolutely horrendous and the effects are mediocre at best. Sorry Ryu, but definately not one of your best.
The left side is not good by on the right side of the render I think it looks good, its decent but not one of your best
i think i know the tut you used.... or it has a really similar outcome anywayz.. i think the smudging is good but the part on the left kills the depth nice work on the lighting with the saber tho !
thx for the comments, I agree it's not great, but it was pretty much an experiment. I don't know that tut tho
