What do you think? I made it for my new hunter x hunter site... Two Kings and I really like it. I think it could have been done better but I don't know what it is missing. I would love some positive feed back to maybe make it look better. Full image

Is this supposed to be for a banner? I'm assuming yes b/c of the full size so I'll critique based on that~
The 3D thing is really sick and I've always really liked it personally, but I would blur the actual dood slightly less because it low-key makes me a little dizzy - it's the 3D interfering with the guy on the image - + if you're going to use it as a banner you need to be able to stare at it for long periods of time without getting a headache. So lightly less blur - otherwise I love your image selection. Like +++
I'm assuming you'll probably add text manually in coding?
Also, I would either leave it plain and simple with the text as the focus, maybe imitating the 3D effect as a hover or something, or I would add some textures or brushes behind the guy to make it a little more visually interesting. That may turn out cool or not depending on what textures/brushes you have. I do really like the concept of your image! It fits the theme pretty well (idk the guy may be from the series i honestly have no idea lmao) and is just (Y)

I concur with SEADRA. The effect done upon the man is excellent, but you might try placing a stable version of him in the center. After that is done, copy and paste that layer, then blur it; move it out to the left enough to leave the male generally visible; repeat the process, except pull the copied layer and go to the right. Erasing the middle partially with a soft brush, then fading the blurred remnants instead of taking the eraser again may help. This example was made when I was a teenager, but: Kyogre. Study the boy sitting off slightly. I think you could apply the 3-D effects to the man in your own banner in a similar fashion. Upon finishing that, the signature, I assume is going to use a darkly "masculine" theme. The leftover gray leaves everything a tad lackluster. You'll fiddle to acquire self-taste, but grungy and even cloudy textures set on "Darken," "Lighten," or "Screen" might work. Another sample of mine is: Neko. (Ignore the lyrics; I mimicked someone else's.) Aditonally: Simplistic and Sakura. These should clarify my suggestions. Text can be placed behind the upper half of the graphic, yet on either side of the shoulders and head likewise; or, you could write whatever separately on the forefront. I am personally reminded of the fourth banner I linked. A white script foundation is my own thought. Afterward, perhaps add a subtle coloring to balance the ultimate result out. SEADRA is unequivocally correct; you'll be doing much experimenting. What has been presented already looks great thus far!
