    Usually you'll want to avoid centering your focal as it's a rather outdated practice with tagging. It looks like you're quite keen on using scan lines in these designs, which actually works in their favor. When centering something, if that's the route you want to go, it's a good idea to create a new guideline at 50% and then use it as a reference point, sort of like I did here: https://i.imgur.com/0WtAUj9.png

    The smudge effects on the second one are interesting, though the scan lines detract a bit from the quality of them. Don't be afraid to play around a bit more with canvas sizes as well and really experiment with the compositions in how you stylize everything. Your style seems to be set on center aligning everything, which gets a little boring to look at. Play around with the positioning, maybe add a few more effects on the different plains of depth (such as brighter smudge lines on top of the scanlines on that second one), and really don't be afraid to get colorful. The monochromatic black/green, black/red, black/white doesn't really pull attention too much. In the future, try and avoid using borders as it makes the tag feel restricted in a way, though admittedly I'm fond of what you did with the red bordering of the third.

    Keep at it, and be sure to keep sharing your work here.

    Didn't think I'd get much of a critique honestly just people saying what they do or don't like, I really appreciate this. Honestly I never really thought about getting out of my comfort zone and moving out from the middle lmao, I just needed a push per-say? I'll have to give that a go, and honestly the grungy look is what I like the most, so that's what I do I suppose. But the problem arises when I do try to make something more clean, or less grunge, as I don't know exactly how to get where I want to. I'll try to get out of my comfort zone, I mean that's what it's all about. Thanks for making me realize some things! Also, I noticed that too when I used the skull above my current sig, it wasn't centered, and I realized my sig wasn't centered lmao. There were made about a year ago, dipping my toesies in here again.

    Thanks a million!
