Thanks .
My work is still in need of alot more , Im still learning myself .
Alot of what is in my portfolio I wish I didnt have to have there but I have alot of newer stuff ready to add in the next few weeks when I have the time .

Ill start with the first one up top .
I see ebony .. blob

The video shack is pretty much illegible .
I don't know if you realised what you typed above , but basically you took someones work and placed it in the site , innocently obviously as the fact that you posted it here shows you didnt know better , But ya can't do that .
Grab some stock photos , join an exchange that works on a credit basis and get royality free images from there or use 3d as I see you do 3d ..
you couldve easily made a 3d film reel rather than riskin problems using other peoples work .

the customer that puts that " jefferson film festival " film reel on thier site is in for a Cease and desist eventually .

The bevels on the top two for " bookmark .. " are making the text hard to read and adding artifacts to the M in both designs , not to mention they are both based of the same template . Bevels , embosses , outerglows etc only look good if they are adding to the text , not taking away from it , I am a horrible offender of this myself and once you see my update in 2 -3 weeks you'll see I have done alot to correct it over the last few months . They if you look at your design you'll see they muck up they text , and add a few extra colours to the design should you want to save as gif to get the designs really light in file size .

The toon on the second one really looks to be standing up , but shes on her side .

I like you're use of colour , with the exception of the top one , it just doesnt seem " ebony " to me at all .

With all that said .
You're work is worth what you are asking , and anyone to say that $35 isnt a deal for that work ( cept the film festival part ) is wrong .

BUT , I think if you spent about 2 times the time you spent on these , and you would come up with a better product and be able to charge 4x more ;)
