The neg space seems very abrupt. Try to ease into negative space instead of making it like a brick wall for our eyes. You see what I mean? I like the effects and v1 is a win because I love the colors you used. Little oversharp in areas, but nice.
Im with cheap_indian, seems a little over-sharpened, more-so in V1. I love the coloring in V1 though, the black space to the right kills me though. I dont so much mind the negativeness the black just seems very random. Everything was executed well though, the depth and coloring is ace. Very nice work man!
The right side really messed up the tag. It would be amazing if you evened out both sides. Has a lot of potential. Keep up the good work
Yeah that giant dark spot just really has to go. It could be amazing if that was gone and the effects were evened out.
