Review: As a whole, I like where you're going with this sig. You're trying a lot of cool ideas and I feel like you're really gearing up towards a banger. That said, there are a few tweaks here and there that I think would improve the sig. The biggest critique I'd give has to do with the text - I think the drop shadow is too jarringly dark and, especially on the left side when it interacts with the light, its a bit funky. I would lower the opacity on it by a lot. The rotations on the two texts are a bit off, the SDM part is slanted more downwards than the player text and they should be on the same level. I would also move the text (or scale it) away from the right border as it comes a bit too close to touching the edge. The font I'm not crazy about but I think it works decently enough. Lastly, the overall contrast is a touch too high and the darker parts should be a touch less dark imo. If you're on Ps/Photopea, make an exposure adjustment layer and nudge the offset slider a bit so that the overall darkness is slightly less. For the stuff I do like, I think that you did a great job of combining your elements. The lighting effects and background really comes together well and it creates a complete piece. The render also has pretty solid quality despite the size and is lit well.

 

7.5/10, don't let the huge body of critiques make you think that this isn't still a really solid sig , good job

Review: Solid sig I like the colours and overall lighting. Would've liked to have seen some attempt at a logo swap but given it is a hard task to do especially with a render like that making the player take up more of the sig would have also worked. Make it less obvious that he's got a blank jersey. Also switching up the colours to match San Deigo's would've tied the sig back to the player a bit better. The background is sweet I like how it gives the effect that the player is fast (at least that's what I got out of it) the subtle Marlins logo is also a very nice touch. In terms of text, it's a bit bland but looks good and fits in with the sig. Overall I'd give it a 7.5/10 but with a few adjustments I could see it being a 9/10 easy. Keep up the good work!

Review: I'm a big fan of where you're going with this design. The darker and lighter color contrast really adds a nice layer to the graphic, not to mention the fading and almost grainy sort of retro vibe I feel looking at this. As has been mentioned in this post though I'd have loved to see the Marlins logo on the jersey, but overall it's a solid piece and you got a lot of skill already so props to you! Big fan of it though so I'm feeling a solid 8/10 on this! Keep it up!
