So I haven't Photoshopped in a few months, actually. Forgot everything. It's time to get back to those tutorials, well, when I have time, anyway. But I will be soon. :]

I was just wondering what you guys think of my new Sig? I'm going to work out the tail this weekend. I know it looks kinda messed up. Other than that, could you guys rate it? Please and thank you. :]

It's my first vertical. After coming back from a two-month or so hiatus from Photoshop, I'm actually quite pleased.

(What can I add, change, fix... or is the simplicity good?)

Thanks, guys!

but overall ill give it a 8/10 =] its simple and nice

Thanks, Hershey!
And yeah, the more I look at the tail, the more I go bleh, haha.

I purposely made the background blurry, though. I wanted the phoenix to stand out against the blurred background. Do you think it'd be better if there was less contrast / blur?

Very nice,really like the colours and the overall look of it.
8/10,when tail is done 8.5/10.

i like it lots, very pretty. colors go nice

Nice!

I love Kagaya's work! The Phoenix is one of his best works, imo!

O.o stallowned's avvy????

The brushes by the left is counterproductive in terms of your otherwise good flow. Like everything else, maybe a little less obvious the filter you used on the background.

Kagaya? Err... sorry, but I don't know who that is.

Thanks for the comments, guys. I hope to have some time over the weekend to fix this up. :]

Wow! I didn't even know that, haha. My friend sent me a huge pack of pictures with phoenixes in them a couple of months ago, during the summer (and if you guys didn't realize, fena -> phoenix. I love phoenixes), and I thought that one was really pretty, so I used it.

That site looks like it has some awesome things in it. Would it be considered ripping to use them as a basis for my own work in the future?

Thanks, RuYi!

I highly doubted unless all you do is stamp your name on there... change it enough and it derives into your work.
