Hey that is very great. It is so different from your usual style, but it is very well done.
Hmm.. only thing is that the render doesn't blend too well, but I love the text. great job man.

[ShunNakamura]

To the style... I try not to conform to one style. I was just trying to adjust to certian effects. Just as with Martial Arts I don't believe sticking to one style, mix and match never let yourself stagnate.

To the critique
The render for a change? hmm...

Well I got another.

I got the background and the images blended, plus found a quote I like. However, I picked up a bad headache, so just for critique I threw on some text, so if it looks worse than usual(text wise) it is cause I spent very little tiem on the text.

[Owen Macwere]

Yes, very great. the blending is very well done.... and the text isn't bad either. Nice size too.

[Torak]

Well made, text is very readable. It's blended quite well because of the red smog partially covering the renders. My only problem, and its small, is that the border is also red. I think that single handily says "too much red". I know its only just a tiny little red line, but it makes it too red. A nice blunt black line would be nice.

First new buisness. Is it too pink?

The render in this one was not cut as well(grabbed from render world) and I would like. They left it with alot of feathering so I would have to redo the cut in order to get a border that looked right with the image edges. So I said forget the border. Also thought of cutting out the tail on the cat costume.... feathering really messed with it.

Got a suggestion to darkify the left render.

And more touch up

And then old buisness. Miss Pillage and burn with black border.

I actually had been in a toss up between black and red when I did the first border. Went with red since that was what my foreground was already set to. Lazyness decided that one.

[ShunNakamura]

Alright new one. This one is textless for lack of any ideas to put on it.

[Torak]

New black border one is definatley better.

As for the pink one. The 3rd version is obviously the best, and no it's not too pink. Pink is one of few colours that you can use alot of.

As for this symetrical one. It's ok, thought I aint a big fan of symetrical ones.

[ShunNakamura]

This one did not come out the way I invisioned it. Text color is off I think(but I was having issues finding one that was both readable AND good looking with the sig). Plus the images I think are subtracting more from it then they are giving to it.

So if anyone has pic suggestions for this go ahead. More of a concept piece right now than anything.

What I will be doing sometime[likely tonight after I rest a bit]:

-Testing different types of grays to see if I can get a decent font color.
-Shift the e-mail image to gray base to match it with the Vi image and the text.
