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".
I know what you mean, I have stuck with a certain style for a long time, and it's very hard to break from. But I mean, there's only so much of that style I can do before I get's boring for myself. I just wanted to try something different, perhaps break away and hopefully get better at it before I grow insane from my own "style" XD
I was a bit concerned with the trident myself, it did look a bit dodgy to me. Yeah they are meant to be waves, but I suck at them so rip. The sparkles were meant to kind of be stars, so I guess I could add some black contrast or something in there or a moon or something.
I design userbars I guess ![Tongue Tongue](https://sinister.ly/images/smilies/set/tongue.png)
