Well, this render was rather difficult to work with. Seeing as how Walshy doesn't have many pictures of himself not slapped on a stock picture, I was a bit limited to what I could work with. This particular render was cut out of a picture of him standing in a desert, hence the light beaming on his face.

Eh, I didn't cover it up too much and it went along with the style I was going for, what with the C4D's covering up his body. As far as displaying the render goes, I wanted to get the 'X' and at least the majority of his face visible, to get the point across of who it was.

People tend to only use bubbles for lighting these days, so I wanted to try something different with them.

They're huge xD

The biggest limit to not be resized by ZU is 670 width, but staying with 600 is generally safe. It would make your thread much easier to read and browse through if you knocked out that extra transparent space above and below the text, and then resized them down to 600 width.
I was juggling quite a bit when I made them and figured they would suffice until I had the proper time to edit everything. Sized down now.

Thanks for the welcome, as well as the critiques.
