New Work

Just finished this one. Comments/critique please?

That's really cool. Great overall design! I think the lightning from the sky needs more work though. It looks a bit flat compared to the rest of the image. Maybe give it some glow/light effects and make it more yellow/white so it looks more like real lightning?

Damn thats pretty sick!

Thanks! I'll pass on the lightning suggestions to Bill (the photographer). Thanks Gino—how are you today?

Gino, It's a shame the ads I've been posting can't be viewed larger. For example, that last one is an 11x17 full spread ad that looks amazing at 100%. But the file is too large to upload at that size. Any suggestions?

Nice!
I especially like how the purple electricity/lighting flows with the picture.

I also like the positioning of the rat

i really see no improvements at the moment, but i will more thoroughly look at this once i get back from school.

Finals today GRR

See ya later,
Chris

I like the composition a lot, but the lightening doesn't really look right. I think it probably needs to be whiter, and it should cast more light on the things around it.

Nice guitar!

Thanks Nathan. I appreciate the comments folks!

Very nice indeed, but I agree with the lightening looking too flat, or something like that (And yea, way to blue, it's more like white, with a slightly blue outer-glow.). Maybe it shouldn't connect with the skies either, just make a flashy electric light around the Jack? (Or I think it's called a Jack)

But great work overall, love the mood in it.

Looks really cool! Two small nitpick-things though:
is the text in the bottom italic? It looks italic, which gives it a weaker and more feminine look, which collides horribly with the macho rock image.
Also, I'd drop the punctuation after the "buzz kills" and "kill buzz", they serve no purpose whatsoever as I can see, and only clutter the image.
Else than that I love it! ^_^
