    Nzane: Bro, I dig the overall flow of the piece and colors. You're headed in the right direction with that style, just work on the letter structure.

    Could you specify what you mean? Like, adding more overall additions to each letter to make it more unqiue - like the accentuated serifs of your war-piece? Or the form of the letter itself? Cause other then even bars / minimizing and oversizing the right areas i dont see how to change something :D Thanks mate!

    Well, on first glance, the piece looks fantastic. Then you start breaking down the letters. Your extensions are going too far and working against their forms. Some general rules I live by are to never make a letter have so many extensions and additions that you have trouble telling what letter it is or even thinking it's something else.

    It's easy to turn an N into an M or an O into a Q for example. I've done that type of thing myself. You haven't done that exactly here but you are close.

    My second rule, that you didn't break, but just a general thing is to never completely cover a bar that is pivotal to letter, unless you do something more advanced like have a bar breaking through another one or do lines that indicate or something.

    The N is your strongest letter in this. The R is second and would be first but you have some extensions that are going from the bottom left that really build the flow of the piece but tear down the structure of the R in my opinion.

    Having said that, I think it looks great overall but once you start breaking it down, that's when it falls apart. It's a tough balance to hold so just keep on doing your thing. Start by taking the extensions down a notch and trying to distort letters in ways that don't deviate too much from their structure but still add to the style. It does take years and a big secret is that you never really feel like you have it mastered. Or at least I don't feel like I have.

    Of course other people may disagree with me...

    For the talk, here's a Reanimator piece I'm working on...

    That's badass Gons. Nothing's played out as long as it's done right.

    If anyone is interested there's a battle in the Bi-Weekly Battles.
    Word is: WONG. Due: Friday 23rd
