It's most definitely a WIP. I know there's not much of a flow to it, that's what I kinda need help with. Any suggestions are appreciated. I never really do any of these kinds of pieces.

Works very well as a wallpaper, exactly what I'd look for; The dark background gives plenty of emphasis to the guy, the effects around him work to bring him out, the colours work very well, altogether a great piece already in my eyes. Only suggestion I can think of is to tone down the gradient on the text, it's a bit too harsh for my liking.

Good work already though, if I was an NBA fan I'd definitely use this as a background. :)

What do you mean by "tone down" the gradient?

Just lower the opacity of the gradient overlay [I assume that's what you did], because it's a bit too dark at the bottom. But I dunno, it might not look so nice if you, but it could improve it. Not sure.

In my opinion, you're almost finished. Give the orange-ish effects more of a polish, and make the subtext more visible, and call it a day. Nice work.

I changed the text and smoothed out the orange flares

Looks pretty damn good. Only thing now might be a little bit of highlight on the c4d as a light source for the highlights on the focal. That'll make it perfect, in my opinion.

Nice work dude, This WP is pretty cool, I would make the C4d stand out a little more above the BG to add a little extra effect. Besides that though i really like this WP.

My only beef with this peice is that he looks like he's floating some which I know is kinda the point but maybe the area over/around his feet could be darkened or blended into the BG a little to make it seem like he's coming out of the bg instead of just from nowhere. In general though this is a really nice piece, everything looks pretty sweet from where I'm sitting. :)

Dude this is pretty sick. My onle complaint is that the render loosk a little blurry. Maybe sharpen that up. But other than that this is really nice. I would use this, but I hate the Knicks. But I'd love to see you make a Derrik Rose Wallpaper. ^_^

Real nice!

Clean, simple and effective WP, all the minor effects and C4D's are placed well and i really dont see anything wrong with this... Great piece and keep it up =]

If I liked the Knicks I would use this as a wallpaper! This is just really sleek and clean and just an overall winner. Nice job!
