V2-

V3-

The text doesnt really show much, but V3 is my favorite.

Also, the side of his head (left side) looks cut off. (possibly a bad feather or render?)

Could use a border of some sort.

I beg the difference, it doesn't need any border. I like the third version the most as well, but did you forget to sharpen it? It looks kinda blurry.

There is no text, and borders aren't always necessary.

I do notice the "head cut off" issue. Might have to deal with that, although i'm sure there's a reason why it's like that.

It wasn't a render to begin with, started with

and built on top of it. Due to the horrible quality, i had to topaz the stock photograph - which led to the smoothened effect.

I love http://praesto.powweb.com/reflective...mgs/norush.jpg, by the way.

ah, yea, it's a bad stock. Also, I'm glad you like no rush

Sorry, at the bottom of the third one it looked like you attempted to throw text in :-P Its very blurred and it seems like you can make "The Pain" out.

**Albedo** · 12-28-2009

Yeah, that was more of an aesthetic "easter egg" than actual text. I like to throw those things in

**ClearFlare** · 12-28-2009

Yeah! I knew I wasnt going crazy :-P

But honestly, really good job on that stock photo. I dont think I could have done that. I like the work you did on it. But really, it looks good. I like it.
