Looks really good bro. Good work. You said you were new to this I believe , correct? Your gettin pretty good at it if you ask me.
I like this altered one more. I really wonder how you would fair in a jersey switch. You seem to be pretty well accustomed to photoshop or whichever program your using already in a short period of time. Good work again imo.
I kind of like the new version a bit better too. Maybe thats just because im not a big fan of the orange in the first one. I dont like bright colors much, I know, hard to believe im a fins fan then.. haha but still, nice work man
