Sig - Berserk and Gankutsuou

[Mirage]

This is one of my 'when the hell did I make that?' pieces. I like it, probaly because Berserk is one of my all time favorites.



I don't really have any views on this one, due to the fact I don't remebering doing it either.

Sorry about coming to these so late! ><;

First one, first!
I composition of the piece, it looks kind of original and done nicely, but I think some improvements could be made. I think the stock looks a little too high in contrast and the red colour could be a little less high on contrast, too. Motion blur's not a bad touch, though.

Background looks nice where you've brushed, but I feel some more effects or something could be put in there to make it look a little more interesting. At the moment, it feels a bit empty.

Text isn't bad, but a little too obvious. It competes with the stock for the focal point and you don't want that. In a sig, you want the focus of the person viewing it to go to one point of the sig: in this case, the stock.

Finally, I feel the border could be done a little better. The stock layer seems to have been put above the border, so the stock overlays the border and it kinda looks bad. Simple to remedy, though. Just bring the stock layer beneath the border layer.


Now for the second one.
I like the idea of the stock blending. Colouring and effects look good, but I think the background needs some work. It's a little boring. As well as this, you haven't added a border, which I think this could benefit from.
Text positioning is nice, too, which the white bar. Adding it into the focal point looks good, I think.
