Whoa! That one is almost perfect! The only thing you really need to change on it now is the tagline, it's kinda lame <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->. Try a version without the tagline and just 'Espionage.' Also, anyway the sillouhette of the two guys could be largened to fill more of the circle? If you need to thin out the black outline a little, feel free.
Quick edit I threw together to illustrate some possible improvements, obviosuly you can elaborate on these as much as you want;
-Inverted BnW, I kinda like the white silouhette effect it has. -Touched up all of the hands a bit, but specifically defined the lower hand of the knife guy to look more like an actual hand, and the hand gripping the m16 so it was more exaggerated and visable. -The back of the m16 guy fattened up a tad, looked a tad skinny before.
My thoughts on this are that Electric Sheep's edit of Aries86 pic would make a great loading screen / background /whatever and Quad's version of MedHead's logo is awesome and would make a great logo or icon (or both) for the mod
a good logo would be cs colored icon white backround black figure, but have 1 guy standing with his abck turned holding a gun, and behind him a guy with a knife in his hand looking like hes going to sneak up on him n slit his throat, well that is stealth <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I knew the new hand was pathetic - I had some trouble getting a good pose, and was pleased I got it looking that good. However, I think I got it looking a little better with your help.
This isn't much different than yours, but then again, that's kinda the point!
I hate to seem like this is a "us and medhead" thread to the rest of you guys, I appreciate all the work that EVERYBODY is doing here. Even if your stuff isn't picked you're still helping out by offering suggestions and whatnot. So don't feel as if you're going unappreciated! :)
MedHead:
The latest of yours + quad's suggestions look great!
one more thing I just noticed is that the guy w/ the m16 needs like, has his hand going up to the stock, but he has no fingers! He needs some fingers to look like he's holding it ^_^
Also, the extra hand on the infiltration guy really completes him, I love it.
P.S. thank you for not touching the bandana. :D
[edit] Gah you're posting new versions before I can finish critiquing the old ones ;)
On this latest image the end of the barrel of the m16 looks like it got chopped off when you were messing w/ the image. Probably just a mistake [/edit]
sorry about the MS paint stuff....but i had so much fun, anyways you change how he holds the knife, maybe its just me but it looks a lil funny, maybe have him hold it more towards his body, or at an angle, like that IMHO looks sort of silly, than again, i use MS Paint

Sounds like dinner is starting soon, so it may be a while before I can respond (rather than the real timing that has been occurring, heh).
Oh, and take a look at the views on this topic. Wow.

"Sometimes Secretism is Necessary" is just a tagline I plopped in there to show how it would look. Not trying to get you to use it.
Lovely stuff.

EDIT: Yeah, I see the gun it cut off, I'll fix that in a moment.
