I like what you did with it, though i do agree, the tutorial definitely could be a bit fluffier. I liked your color choice on this, but i'm not liking the text very much. Then again i'm use to your normal very subtle text.
He looks very...Grizzly...but your background looks soft and fluffy....? i think it needs a rougher texture to keep the flow?
idk.
