I just like how this one turned out. CnC please. Ignore the text though, I was going to remove it but I forgot and now I'm too lazy.
lol, I thought of that dude from 300 when I saw this. Should have added a small glow on the shield imo.
I like the splatter effect and the lightning. The render is good too. It's a pretty original signature, good job.
I think if you made the circles coming off of the shield on the right, go to the left it would look a lot better with the flow. Text and idk but to me it looks like the contrast is a bit off. >.<
those little circles should be removed ... i like the effect that looks like something is coming off the sheild
