I am going to come out and say this right away, then move on to the full feedback portion. @257, you cannot make anything but the one style you have made since you more or less started. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the fact that you try new things and try to expand your knowledge. Though when you try it becomes painfully obvious that you cannot really make anything good aside from one style, because you somehow seem to try to stick to it while you move away. Now, unto the actual feedback.

It looks "cut" in the sense that the bottom half stops too fast. Furthermore, there is a serious lack of depth and contrasts. You could maybe, make the sides look like waves splashing against the rocks instead of waves with some strange shadowing as they are now. (At least I think they are suppose to be waves.) You could also keep the waves and work on their overall depth and design. I'd also like to see some contrasts with colors as well. For example, the Trident could be in a gold color, which would look good in the sense that yellow/orange (gold shade) is a good contrast to blue thanks to it being complimentary. Also for the love of god, remove the "sparkles".
