The TT definitely looks better, but the metal texture doesn't work. I say ditch it, and give the title a bit of a tilt. As for the cast and tagline, go with a san-serif font. Something tall and thin maybe; something not Impact.

Also, Hit Girl kind of blends into Red Mist, and Red Mist blends in to the background behind him, so perhaps a slighter bolder, colored outline on the two will separate them so they don't look as much like one big blob of person-person-city, knowwhatImean?

Agree with SXS about the fonts and brushed metal. Maybe a subtle grunge texture would work a bit better?

Also, there's one thing bugging me about your spectacular Wacom artwork... and it's this...

[attachment=13229:kkickass.jpg]

There's a big, dark area – front-and-center – that has nothing in it and my eye goes immediately to it. Could you add a little bit more to Big Daddy, Hit Girl, and Kick-a$$ to help to fill in this gap? Or maybe some splatters, or have KA's right hand holding a baton that fills in that gap? I don't know exactly, but it distracts me from the overall awesomeness of your artwork.

Other than that, I think this has COTM written all over it!! :D :D :D

Thanks guys.. :)

I will Edit the TT, and play with the fonts of the names.. Try that you suggested.. Also I agree with the black area.. Originally I had a different Idea in mind, and I changed it.. So now the black spot looks off.. Just didnt want to Paint again.. lol... But I will do something.. If I have to paint a arm in there or something.. I'll figure something out... EEK

Thanks again for comments..

Ok.. I do not have the San-Serif font... If someone could send me a link or something.. That would be great...

Also.. I am not to sure if this works or not... What do you guys think?

Much better! Next, I think some attention needs to be given to the sky over the city. Put some clouds around the moon, and remove that one odd streak of white going past Big Daddy's head.

As for the font...Sans-serif is a style of font, not a font itself. A serif font is something like Times or Trajan Pro - it's kind of decorative and fancy 'cause of the little "tails" coming off the ends of each letter. Sans-serif is something like Arial or Futura. Get what I'm saying?
