its not the same.... its not even similar... but well... i didnt use his example because i havent seen it until today... you can check it out... (the day i created the acount) and the render is free to use... its in google images so... im allowed to do to what i want with it...
so i dont know why you made such a discussion about it
im glad your friend doesnt care.. he shouldnt...
what lightning?
shemen: dont worry i can fix that... but i like the pinkish color in the sig
maffia is a dark theme with black n white , and rackets and corruption in it, not that think colour... add some smoke or dust. some faded image of the protagonist beating someone up
i personally think that the sig is quite well done... i dont really need to change anything... maybe the title lol
shemen you have to think out the box make it creative sometimes
edit:
doesnt convince me much but well.... im posting it....
