I said this on another forum, 'I like the text on the Ian Bell one but I think that it's to bright underneath and it doesn't go well with the shadow on the face. I also think that it looks slighty cartoony. I don't really like it.'
The render effects are overdone,the text needs a lot of improvements,the grungy effects dont really fits there to be honest,the bg is really empty,add some textures to it,keep it up mate,check out the tutorial section
The render effects are a little wierd. I personally feel the render looks too bright and stretched. Hold shift when resizing. Anyhow, the BG is a little too simple, but it has potential. I'm not a fan of the text. Choose a better font and get rid of the stroke, mate. Keep it up.
