Second one's better, but they both just look like images with photoshop effects applied... what's the big idea?

Kinky dancing: When dance partners don't wear pants?

well if you go and look at electronic cd covers and such most of them dont really have a clever concept its more just about the visuals lol

kinky... yes i know the meaning well i didnt want to make it a R+ project so I went with a slighty sexy approach to it. i.e cat ears, pole dancing etc

The girl is the first one is badly masked around - the 'belly' is all jagged!

Not as good as your old stuff, but that wasn't my cup of tea back then too.

Something about the text on that poster that I just dislike. Tight kerning on serif type is always difficult, and doesn't work for you here. The type near the bottom of the page all looks like it's flying off the bottom of the page, it's just too far down all by itself.

Soup of the day is spot on. Your kerning makes my brain feel squashed. Not sure if it's the right typeface to have kerning that tight.

Again, would be nice to have something that is yours, and not just a copied style from deviant art.

I agree, that model just doesn't work with this, and I think you need to do more than just feather the belly.
