Clovis, it's a good start and it's pretty nice for your first image and being new to this. Here's some tips: Check out some websites for tutorials. Check out www.thinkdan.com for some easy stuff, www.wastedyouth.org for some trendy stuff. There's a ton more, (like phong.com) but I could keep listing them forever. The text is a bit big and it distracts from everything else. It is a nice texture though and it would be nice to use for other users to use in their wallpapers to manipulate and use as a texture. =) Practice makes perfect. Keep working at it and you'll be a star soon enough. Welcome to the community.
