Looks good dude, but i wouldnt have blue text in the background, perhaps red so it matches other colours

Great work if its done form freehand, ive just bought a wacom graphire 3 studio tablet so i can get better at that but the text is not very good, i think it ruins it, i think its pointless making half freehand and half font for that kind of image

I agree about the text not looking agreeable. Also the glares on the symbol and drum look too defined.

I think you should maybe work in a setting. Put him in a coffee shop or on a stage or a garage or something. Maybe you could work in a piece of band scenery with the words you want - like a backdrop.

Also you spelled "dedication" wrong.

Looks excellent though. I like the reflection of the drum on the under side of the symbol. Keep it up.

change the text color and its perfect....dont worry about the reflections...it looks good....red text would probably looks better.

Nice! You're having fun with that Cintiq tablet, I see. Big Grin

Being a percussionist myself, I enjoyed that image. The guy's expression is a little funny; you might want to work on the clarity of his expression a bit. The reflections on the instruments are very well executed. I'm around drums all the time, so I have a pretty good feel for how they look. I agree that a different setting might be nice. If not, perhaps slightly brighter and/or reddish text. In any case, it's looking great. Keep it up.

awesome. ill make some changes and post the changes. but yeah, the expression is sorta strange but i like it for some reason. uhmm yeah i wasnt sure about the text it was just something i thought about . but yeah i like the blank back ground. i will try diferent tones or lighting it up some. but yeah keep the comments comming. i really appreciate the advice.

PS: what type of percussionist are you? drumset, rudamental, keyboards? or just all around. thats cool though man

ok i took the text out and tried some lighting stuff. anyway. i like it better but i still dont want to put like a real background behind it. i thought about maybe hinting at a crowd or somthing. but that just seems a little hokey

Looks much better to me.
