wow... all this controversy over such a small thing. in any case
I like what Brandon did
(reposted for quick reference): ShowHide however, what ever method you used for cutting out the bird failed and left a bunch of weird curves that aren't in the original, I don't like that part, sorry.
other than that I really like the aura background and how you textured it. I think it would be cool though if the textures were more pronounced (not a whole lot more pronounced, just a bit more up front) and I REALLY like the text
@36inc while your work shows real talent I don't like the style, it just clashes in some way I can't explain
Dio's
(reposted for quick reference): ShowHide first off nice job getting the bird out of the original, no funny angles of white mist
I like how the Ryex has variable alpha transparency fading partly into the back ground but I'm not liking the foreground so much it's like a read haze is filtering the image and its kinda strange. I also really like the text in this one too.
Is there any way that the styles of Brandon's and Dio's could be combined, keeping in mind what I like and don't about both attempts?
this is great all of you are are more talented than I am
