Another breathtaking illustration by you man! Amazing work. But I think that the background and the text let down the illustration. You should enhance the background a bit and make a less spacy and less blurry text on there. The idea is great so far but it has more potential. I just think the main render (cantona) and the background do not gel 100%. Maybe make some more little illustrations of him playing.. make some like explosive creative curvy shapes with black to go with the border.
Anyways... just some suggestions man, and if you want to.. add
soccer-art.co.uk on there and keep the popwhore link also and I will add it to our gallery to get it some more exposure.
Your site is BRILLIANT as well, so I am going to feature it on our homepage. Keep up the class work.
