Description
Revisiting the classic style I've always been so good at. However I've added in recent things I've learned to enhance it. Constructive criticism preferred.02/09/11: Removed border and sharpened face and effects by the head.

My only citicism of this is that the light/contrast could be a little stronger. I really love the angular flow and I'm not normally put off by monochrome color schemes...I think people bitch too much about mono schemes but they're just a viable, imo, than any multi-chromo schemes. Those effects are really nice and I may try to emulate that although my style is usually a lot more chaotic and I slam on the filter effects usually and kind of wing it. This seems a lot more precise than what I'm accustomed to.
One more thing, there are some lines that aren't really helping anything in the BG area that I think should be blurred out or erased from the effect layer - they're kind of sharp and break up the clean flow of the right side (only a little). Watch out for those when you apply your filter effects.
I know I implied in my first paragraph that I had only one criticism of this, but I feel I should keep adding to my thoughts as I see things while writing this - after all, you wanted constructive crit. The last thing I was thinking is that I'd like to see the focal positioned more "strategically" - it's a little high (the face, which seems to be what should be the focal) - it's also a little too centered for my taste.
I want to really get the point across here that I like the effects overall, especially on the right side of the focal. Hope I didn't rant too much. Btw, one last note, there's nothing wrong with borders and there's nothing wrong with not having borders - there are situations where they work well and some where they don't but I find that usually a border cleans up an entire image, especially with sigs. Thanks for all your comments.

Looks awesome. My only complaint is that it's a tad bit too empty on the left side. Other than that, pure win

Loving the effects on the right side. They are pwnage!
For me, the left side could probably use just a bit more to enhance your overall atmosphere.
Either way, pwnage tag m8!!

Very nice signature, and fits the doctor. Love the doctor, by far my favorite character to play as XD
I love that sideways line effect there.

Thanks. I applied the image on to a new layer, then went to filter>brush strokes> Angled Stroke (or something) then played with the settings a bit and clicked ok. I then set the layer to lighten and played with the opacity and moved it around and erased parts that weren't needed.

Awesome job. Maybe add a bit more of the glowy lighting with that Linear Dodge thing you do, as the shoulder effects are looking sorta dull.

Pretty hot. Ditch borders though. They kill stuff.
Maybe sharpen it. The shoulder effects looks great but a little weird at the bottom. Nice work.

Ok there, removed border, sharpened, however I couldn't fix the effects at the bottom without making them worse. I may have an idea on how to fix it but I have to try it later.

That large blob on his right side.

It also looks a little lq on the left with the trace lines.

Weird at the bottom, eh? How so? I'd like to fix it up
(This actually reminds me, remember back when we got into that argument and you said I never listened to C&C? Yeah well I'm glad that happened because I'm making my art better by listening)
