Hehe, I do agree that my embossing could be a little subtler, but I'm still learning how to use ps properly. The pixellation is worse than I thought it would be, it looked better as a psd, but I'll try using a different texture for the flag.

As for the height, I cant really change that without redoing a lot of the work. But if I find a decent flat flag without the pixellation to do the displacement stuff on then I might change the height. Thanks tho smile.gif

The flag stands out too much, red vs. blue ehhh.

I'd give it some red tint, to make it look like it's lit with the colors from the background, so it blends in more

nice job though

Hmm, a newer version. Embossing subtler, jagged edges smoothed. The flag is darker and has less contrast. I might finish it properly. Might. wink1.gif



Edit: I tried shaving off some of the bottom to shorten it, but it looks odd, and resizing it will also make it look odd :(

The flag is supposed to stand out a bit, thats why its not translucent with the nod/gdi logos wink1.gif

Read into that whatever you will...
