i really like what i have here, but...

no, it's not a fancy title. i really like the sig i'm making, but it's... well, incomplete. i feel it's empty on the left. and i've tried and tried and can't come up with something to fill it. my last resort would be a quote, but that usually ruins the depth, so... help me please?

PS: oh go ahead and CCR what i have now.

new version i stopped working halfway through

You could try...umm...I'm too beginnerish to think of anything. :P  I just put something cool behind your light-leaf-thingies.

Looks like it's coming great.  The top left light might impede the render a tad. 

Cant understand what the render is..and the white dits are not really doing any good there:Ploggens

the render is a soldier killed by arrow bombardments. 

He's killed?  But the arrows are in his shield. :P

well i decided that i'll try something completely different, since what i really like is the render (duder: it's blurry on purpose, that's how the dead are in the game... kinda). but anyway, here's how V2 was going before i stopped

yeah, earlier today i decided to throw away all the brushes, before reading the thread.

BTW...

what's inspiring me

In V2 the BG just needs some more detail. Alot more detail, but that's pretty much all that's missing.
And the lighting, which is completely off
