Black Magic.

Vision: Much stronger than your last attempt at a photo manipulation image. Shading and lighting is much stronger and more visible within the image creating a much stronger atmosphere and definitely helping with that dark, evil concept. Field of depth is present again in this one and slightly less cluttered than your battlefield piece creating an overall more spacious and clearer image. Also attracts the viewers attention to the figure of primary interest, the character himself. Also purple is my favorite colour (vry gud).

Originality: Clearly a strong influence from the work of <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/i/a/i…" alt="" title="iamsolidsoul" /> and it shouldn't affect my overall views on the piece. Still even with this there is a very clear presence of Mackaged in there from which I can still tell from first glance that it is your work.

Technique: Not sure how I am meant to properly rate this without actually being able to study the PSD file itself but from what I can gather from your description it will be more than good enough. (140 layers, I can't complain) I imagine a lot of duped objects with a different layer style or effect etc. Not sure if smudge tool. Obviously a strong use of filters (blur, etc)

Impact: Well I creamed my pants when I saw it. Is that good enough?

Overall gud job *IamMackagedSoul
