I have no idea how it could actually be used for anything, but it looks really cool.
The only thing I see weird is the red lights. They seem off in perspective, since they should be slanted like everything else. | |

All of your brush strokes are visible, when it should just be the highlights/low-lights that are visible brushing. | |

Visible brush strokes are just a stylistic thing. It's the same as with regular old painting: some artists show off their brush strokes, some don't. | |

However, this is only my second brushed template so not bad if you ask me.
Anyway thanks for replys!  | |

Why would you have little layers if your brushing it? Seems stupid too me I put every brush stroke in a different layer.
I have one main problem with this and that is that the lighting is coming from about 5 different sources. Pick 1 and stick with it. Also you need more contrast or everythign turns out a little blurry (like it has)
A few improvements and this could be a very decent piece indeed. | |

Wow, your computer must hate you for that. I couldn't imagine putting each stroke on a separate layer. Too much chaos. Sometimes I'll use a lot of layers, but I only break things down to shapes and maybe color groupings. It just gets unwieldy. | |

Man, I wish I had that computer.
Actually, I don't because I don't really have any need for that much power. | |

I do, sort of, my budding interest in rending and programming (some aspects of programming).
However yes, it is excessive (pun not intended so fuck off).

As for the brushing on a single layer, I find it easier that way - And my computer isn't as forgiving as your when I do acctually design a template with over 200 layers haha. | |
