So, I had this as my signature for a bit. Would you guys critique it for me?
It's Riku. He's a sexy guy.

Its not too shabby for two toned tag. You've got an adequate familiarity with complementary colors, the lighting is distinct but could serve to be darker, more towards the bottom. A tip for getting colors to look a certain way, avoid using filters like brightness&contrast because it can really reduce the values in your pieces, curves+levels will give you more freedom to play with those values.

Hope it helps you!

Hmm, you've got a good point there. I agree with making it darker at the bottom. I'll also keep curves-rather-than-bright/contrast in mind. Thank you! :)

I've already told you I loved this piece, but upon further inspection I agree with those two, and just a slight nitpick: the light source isn't quite where it should be, it's close enough really.

Right side smudging is a too messy and sharp. I think it's the displace that's ruining it for me.
