I don't understand what you're getting at..

The eye looks like the city texture from Half Life 2 at the end when going up inside the pod.

Oh wow, I guess it is. I just got the image off Google..

Though it is pretty popular because it's a satellite image of New York City valve used for the end of the game to indicate that the citadel is fucking tall.

It is seen here.

Ah :p

So what do you guys think of the sig?

I actually like it, though there are a few tiny places where it's a bit too sharp.

Where do you see the over sharpening?

cos it's very noisy.

Or the right where the white(reflection of light). Just blur a bit around that area.

Looks nice though... I like it..

I just don't like how the blending is from the eye to the red, to the city...

It stands out too much.

Here's what I've got now:

I think the glare on the eyes is so non-transparent; however, it's a large improvement.
