i dig the lighting... how did u do that it looks really good

yay thanks =]

i use photoshop cs3 and first i took a stock and i smudged it and put it on diff opacity. then i took the render and used some filters on it i also sharpened it then i smudged it to blend it in to the BG

then i applied image and did some clipping masks

then i used a lot of filters, then put some lighting fx in it. then i dodged and burned it. =]

lighting is kinda off :/
u know those smalle ares u can see above and below his right arm.....
they're a wall......right???
naturally, thos two points are already in 'focalised areas'.....so the eye naturally draws to them first.....what makes it worse is that they're REAL bright......so they attract even more attention.....
what i would do is darken those areas ALOT....
also, that tiny patch of light on the bottom right of the shield.......it need a light source of some kind.....but if im honest, adding another one would kinda ruin the tag.....sooooooo......id also darken that lil bit too.....

'cept fo that.......u made one pretty sweet tag :)

thanks for the long suggestions =]

im a lil confused though, a wall?? i used a forest stock?

hmmm????
well....lol
its looks slighty like a wall with fancy sh1t on it :P
but meh
