That's really impressive!

 

...Where is it?

 

Edit: Uhm... It uh.. catches my eye.. but.. not necessarily in a positive manner..? It doesn't look very professional.. It almost looks sloppy. Sort of like the intros you see people stick in their video tutorials before they use Notepad because they don't have a mic.

Thanks for the feedback, and I kind agree too.. This is my first time doing this and I'm trying to get better all the time. If you have any tips or advices it would be very apprecitated :)

That's pretty good mate, try rendering the final project on a higher resolution then the final copy, then save it as a png and downsize it to fit the size you want, in total that will give the image a little more sharpness in the final project. Also when working with text, less is more. If you over complicate a work the text will become hard to read. For a first try that's darned impressive though, keep it up!

Pretty cool.

Some constructive criticism:

Your name is not very easily visible, so I would change something about that.

From black to red, it looks kind of blocky, as in it changes from color to color in blocks, rather than very smooth.

Thanks :) I will try to use anti aliasing, maybe it'll help :)

The lighting looks fake and unnecessary. The two red rings (lens flares?) look out-of-place and also unnecessary. Perhaps try a single ambient light below or above the text. You have horizontal space from the text, now give it vertical space from above and below it. If you really want to keep that distortion on the text, turn up the noise some more so it's more easily visible. Personally I'd cut it out entirely. Make your Assassin's Creed Logo a bit bigger, so it blends more and is less of a distraction.

Thanks, I would try in the next few days making another one with a single light source and probably a tuned-down glass break effect.. The assassin's creed logo was allready a bitch to work with, i'll see what I can do with that :)
