Lovely.

Spellbinder.

Had to skip the sig, it was sooooo BIG!

spellbinder - thank u again.

Nice. It may even look better with the text in black too.
How have you done the background ?

Armen: Nice work again - I would follow poi' advice about the colour but I'd also recommend looking into using a different font as it might add a little extra something.

C&C: it's too cluttered; the composition looks awkward because too many elements (specifically the white/black) clash together in too tight a a space. Also, some of your coloring is a little muddy. I think with sharper, more pronounced lighting and higher contrast, the emotion conveyed in the image could carry over better to the painting.

I like the idea, but the execution could be improved.

Update.

the background was made with buncha textured brushes, i downloaded most of them. i dont remember the website. and the ones i made my self were a combinition of blood textures and fingerprints and scratches on metal surfaces.
ok - i'll play with the font and the color see what i get. thanks poi & emperor.

yes cfb, i agree with the lack of combosition. i tried to express a feel of regret and maddness followed by distress inside, because he killed a guy with a bat and now he regretes it. i guess i'll have to study some combosition rules. thank u cfb.

ok - did a quick correction---hopefully it's right.

Oooh, that looks much better, methinks. The only suggestions I have are maybe a tighter crop on the right side (to uncenter the image) and a stronger shadow of the man.

yep. remember the golden mean, off center him.
and wouldn't the bat reflect light less at the top if it's smeered in blood? just my 0.0002 cents.

I think it looks great.
I dont know much however, but either way for my eyes it does good.
I have a perhaps stupid idea but i would like to see that with burned edges.
It might be an old poster in some US city outside a theater.

Any way i like it.
