Nice, Ryuki!

Very impressive work. I like colours and shadows.

Very good, Ryuki; very atmospheric.

thanks for your comments guys.

by the way if you think a different colour would look better or something, just say so because this is easily adjustable.

i don't guarantee i will change it but i won't be offended if you would prefer a lilac background or something.

While maybe not lilac, I do think another back ground colour may look good since the dark/black is very standard. Perhaps the red of his crystal?

good thoughts.

I'll try that.

thanks.

actually the red would really improve the colour balance now that i think about it.

to be honest when i did the background i had been working for over 7 hours so kinda in a hurry.

edit:

I'm not sure if i like it, but let's see what you think.

if anyone wants to play with the original psd file, you can request it.

Not bad, not bad. I think the red does look good. The black definitely has appeal but it's very similar to a lot of other signature images while the red adds that bit of difference to make the image stand out a bit more.
