If this is your first attempt at a sig, not bad!

Overall though, you are lacking depth and contrast, two of the main elements when creating these crazy things. I can kinda see a light source, but for some reason it doesn't jive with where the shadows are falling.

In my business (graphic design, Illustration, photography) you are only going to be as successful as the images being used, meaning that if you don't start off with a great looking image with good contrast, clarity, and depth, you are going to struggle to get it look the way you want it, and literally spend hours wondering why it's not working. It may not be you, but the imagery you are using.

There are others more knowledgeable about this sig stuff than I am , I just look at it from a work based perspective, while everyone else is having fun making these things. I've been told many times I over think this stuff, so you can take my ramblings for what they are. My suggestion is keep it up, practice, hit the web and find some sig tutorials, after a while you'll notice the steps taken to make these things are relatively the same no matter what the subject matter is....

Like I said before, if this is your first shot at this, you are a lot further than I was starting off!

Thanks a bunch. Yeah I had a lot of trouble rendering the lighting effects. I think I overdid it a bit on that aspect. Your input is much appreciated

[Goggers]

Ye you shouldnt add so many light effects on something thats alrdy light by color composition
