IMO V2 is better. As for the sig, I love it, only criticism is that I wouldnt blur his arm in the back as much :D

I really like this sig, better than all the other cudi sigs out there imo.

If you want his glasses to be the light source, you should take a new layer, fill it with black, get a soft white brush and bush it over his glasses. Change the blending mod to something from Lighten to Linear Dodge and play with the opacity.

Ah okay. I gave it a try and realized it's softer when theres no black background to it.

I hope it doesn't offend you that I tryed (:
Image

Also, I think the text should go. It's too far from him and doesn't really fit.
And v2 is a bit over contrasted, gives off a "noobish" look.
I like the effects, really impressed if they are self-made.

Dosn't offend me at all :D Like what you did there,just the font is shaded now. As for the effects, I've made everything except for the C4D and the brush.

P.S: So did you just white soft brush on the glasses in Screen? I really like the outcome,I wanna do the same (i'd remove the font in that case,unless I find a way to not make it shaded)

I like v1 best. And good job, it looks great. I have no critcism at all. 9/10

10/10 if you can find a balance between 1 and 2.

Still imo too bright. You made the glasses darker, but his back lighter. I am not feeling that, it just drags my eyes to his shoulder/back, and his head, not so much. Your v1 is terrific, but you can make it a little brighter.

Last version has the glasses brighter than v1 though. Where would the light source look good then? Here I made the glasses his light source.

I like that, but I feel like I am ordering you around, and you are SO much better than me. If you wrre to make the glasses a little darker, it would be perfect :)
It already is pretty much perfect though no matter how you look at it :)
