heh, u overdid the effects and the coloring...the effects are nice but just try to get a descent flow going
i thought 'skoll' was a tattoo.. teach me your intense text blending ways. i love this one but the effects are overdone just a little.
its nice, envokes emotion.. which is allways a major win. blended pretty well in my opinion. text is great. Nice seeing a vert tag, dont get em much anymore.
Nice blending... there's a lot of contrast in the center with most of the dark values being the shadows of the render. Maybe add a curves layer to bring out some more of the dark values in the background to even it out a tad.
