I’ll do the same! Lol!

And the ninja strikes!!!:

24 minutes =D CC plz?? I love this size for sigs o_O

I thought we agreed on having a set stock, not a render?

ozzy, I’d make those C4D’s a softer blue like Neytiri, they look too sharp now. Nice sig though.

Edit: nvm, I found the stock the render was taken from anyway. :P Here it is in case anyone wants to use that instead.

I added the stock to the OP, for those who want to use that.

Better?

Rawis: The text looks out of place and is focal stealing.

My entry…

Think I’ll redo it, I don’t like it very much.

Gonna edit this post with entry later.

I think meaperson is right about the text.
I also think you got the dark bits on the right to dark.
Over than that, it is great.

i got this so far:

I found this render/stock to be really hard to work with. Not saying it was a bad choice, it’s just me lacking creativity. :P

Edit: Oh, and yes, that is much better ozzy. :P

I agree that it was incredibly hard to work with. It definitely isn’t the type of stock that’s used a ton. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I think this will have made everyone step outside their comfort zones a bit.

I think this will have made everyone step outside their comfort zones a bit.

Mission accomplished.

EDIT:

Bah- damn me for picking such a difficult render.

It looks bad either way. ><

Looks better with colours hokage, in black and white the effects just sorta disappear.

Also, I made some edits on mine.

Just kidding. I did make some edits though.

Comments?

Sexy.

I like it a lot.

I’ve used the render different to everyone else. I think it has more potential this way.

I know its not great but C&C please.

Missed last week >.< had some computer problems. I will definitely/hopefully enter this one tho judging by the quality I’ll probably do very poorly. Great job you guys.

Nice entries so far guys.
CC plz.

To:

Too bright, and the stock is a bit over-sharpened.
