Travelling Man "Crit"

The day all the images are in to me and Jack the tutors assembled us and gave us critiques.This was helpful as we were all able to improve our images and we could get some fresh eyes on the pieces, but it was 2 hours before we had to get them printed so it was a bit of a rush to do the final bits on time - as well as organising everyone getting their final final final images back to us!

 This is what I had initially, a lot of people had told me they really liked The Crow piece and though I wanted to submit my Yu-Gi-Oh one I thought it best to capitalise on the positive attention this piece was getting.

Ben told me to try the image without the text, and the dark blue circle, as the crow kind of disappeared into the dark blue. When I took off the circle I was left with a lighter shadow of it because I'd erased the shape from a different layer, which I thought was pretty cool cause it still had the halo element of the image. Taking the text off meant I could crop it in further, which did look good but I preferred it with text so I used my judgement on that and left it.

Someone ended up dropping out last minute too, so I was able to submit both The Crow and the Yu-Gi-Oh piece so leaving the text on meant the two images would look obviously like part of a set.
