Looks good, especially the first one. With the butterfly.
Try too alter the text too improve it, change clarity.

Your tags are a bit too empty, and I'm seeing the same techniques used over and over. Try using more C4Ds to give them the flow they need. You also seem to be overusing brushes, which isn't that bad once in awhile, but using them regularly causes your tags to lose depth most of the time. I'm not going to comment on the text, since I'm not too good with it myself, but try having your text blend in more with the render you're using. On the LPs, some effects are way overdone. Take the second one for example. It's too monotone, and the colors are a bit too vibrant. Lowering the effects you use on them can help quite a bit. I'm not too good at criticism, but hopefully I helped you out somewhat. Good luck.

Thx, Shiro.
I'm trying not too rely on C4Ds as I prefer to produce my own images. Though I haven't tried Image blends, which could probably improve many of the pieces. (as done with many C4Ds)
Also i'm trying less too use stocks, and to produce all my own pieces e.g. the book cover is completly scratched.

Also, each technique I learn I like too get right so I can remeber it. Any ideas for a future piece?

Very Empty some are too monotone....5 years total..i'd expect better...anyways no lighting horrible text no blending...

Any comments too help improve, rather than just negative, negative, negative.
Critic is good, but it needs too be constructive.
I've always hated doing the text stuff, and these are quite a lot of my older pieces. needs updating.

For the text use a basic sans serif font and keep it horizontal but near the focal.

I think you should add more smudging to the background to not make it look like you just pasted everything on top. As for the text, try not to use colors that are already on the palette of your program. It would be better to take a color from the render with an outline/shadow with another color.

There's a good thing that I see in most of your work, though. You blend the render quite well with the background. Remember, continue experimenting!

I like them; quite a good, nice start. Try playing around with the renders that's all I can say ^^ Great job, keep it up!.

Thanks, i'll put up some new stuff soon.

Also trying too vary the fonts now, to add to the text.
All good keep the comments coming. :)
