Here's one I just made for XGC Griffin. What do you think?
I like it. One thing I've found that you have to watch for when you distort an image is a doubled up effect as I call it not sure of the actual term for it. If you look at his beak it looks like he has another beak showing up behind his actual beak. And you might try a different background this one has the eyes paying more attention to it than the focal. Other than that looks good to me. =)
On your vertical, the placement just seems off. It feels like you tried to make a focal for a horizontal tag fit as a vertical and it just isn't work.
I tweaked the layers a bit and played with the opacity. I don't know. I'm not a huge fan of the background, but tried to make what he wanted all work together and make something decent.
kinda said the same thing. the only thing is the image she used cuts him off at that level.
I'll also try turning my vertical into a horizontal. The focal I used was of him cut off at the waist.
