    The background is one of the nicest I have seen in a while, but the text on "Kobe Bryant" looks a bit tacky to me.

    I agree. I like the background. It looks like leather or some kind of snake skin to me. The font could be a lot better.

    Yeah, stay tuned.

    I'm going to update the main text tomorrow.

    Very appealing to the eye. Only thing I'm not a fan of is that both images of Kobe seem like the main pic. I'd blend one in to separate the main image. Great work, though. I really like your work.

    That's a very beautiful Wall, great job. The text under Kobe Bryant is too simple (as previously stated), but you've got talent.

    looks okay. The render definately needs to be blended better. Im not really feeling that Kobe render either. Seen it used ALOT!

    Wow, you're tough to please. Well, to someone like me that hasn't seen that "Kobe render" much, it looks good. I think one's perspective might be drastically different dependent upon having seen this render as many times as you or I.

    I actually like the text, and the brush work, but I think the background is kind of lame, nothing really interesting or eye catching about it. You used the render nicely, although I'm not a big fan of those kind of renders (from like Nike / Adidas etc. ads)

    Other GFX artists tend to critisize more!!![​IMG]

    I hardly ever use them.

    Updated with new text.

    I figured the old text was lame because it really didnt go with the wall or the subtext.
