    the lighting on the first and second is very nice, but there could be some brighter lighting on the 3rd tag IMO. Overall the depth and effects are very pleasant on all 3 and I like the larger canvas size as well. Nice work here! :)

    concept C&C

    I disagree with michiganice.... I dislike the lightening. I think they're decent peices but there are some changes you should make

    A Little More Indepth

    Signature 1..
    First thing I notice, the render on the left side of it has a bright outline. This would be fine if you had a few brightened highlights on the left side of the signature. ( This is one problem with you lightening. I'll get to that in a minute. )

    Second thing, the render looks like it's jumping at me. Basically it looks like you made the background then set the render on top of it, it's not really apart of the signature.

    That all has to do with the render and it's outline, it has a choppy brightness around some parts of it if you look at it you'll know what I'm talking about. Quality is always an important part of your signatures. If the render isn't perfect your a computer artist... fix it and notice it, or post it :) and fix it after people show you, not picking on you considering this is common in anime renders. I'm just letting you know from now on check the rendering jobs quality and fix the mistakes yourself.

    Signature 2.
    Much better on your blending this time, the render actually seems like it's supposed to be apart of this. I don't like your choice of text placement or size and font.

    Signature 3.
    Not much to say besides that your text is hard to read.

    Lighting.
    STOP darkening an ENTIRE section of your signature. This doesn't work at all on lighting, the objects you put that layer of black onto DIMS EVERYTHING. Meaning the areas that were ment to be bright now look out of contrast making your signature look horrible.

    For instance, on your second signature on the top left. That orange ray of light should not be dimmed the same way the rest of it is.

    When darkening a signature to increase a focal point/depth/lighting do it all seperate or using curves, brightness and contrast, or level adjustment layers.
    never just darken a whole side it takes away from your lighting.

    Backgrounds.
    Don't leave your background so blank, it degrades your signature when you have so many effects and then a small area of spacey background, it doesn't make sense or look correct.

    Except things like the right side of the 3rd signature.

    :) Hope my C&C helped! :)

    PM me or something if you got any questions about my crit :)
