if you know it's bad why not take a little more time with it?
instead of making a red border make it black, (goto edit, stroke by selection, 1 pixel) and the text could be more unique. Also the render is horribly cut. Also I can't tell if he has a tail coming out of his stomach,
Just drop the style and try something different, IMO
Render's choppy.
Red text is extremely hard on the eyes
BG is very very generic.
Border's really thick... If you're going to make a thick border, have some sort of design in it...
Sorry, but I have to say, its GREAT that you are experimenting but when you think somethings bad please don't post it, just reflect on it yourself or work on it until YOU think its good. Thanks.
