@victor, ya thats a weird one. Apple never actually presents it at 512x512, always 100 or 200 (estimating) in iTunes so for that size I like to be a bit extreme with the texturing so it still shows up when the icon is scaled down and the interpolation takes a bit away.
When you say dodge and burn you mean to add some highlight shadows to it?

Maybe play a bit with stamp's corners/bite spacing? They're more active than content.

You mean the white border should be a little thicker? The punching should be more pronounced?

Looks good but the texture on the big stamp is a little too obviuos a graphic texture. Maybe dodge and burn a bit?

lol, "just wrapped up" probably means suggestions might appear in Name v1.1

@Eddie > Yeah, good thinking. And yes, darken and lighten the texture quite random and it will appear more real. Good work.

@Viktor ya lemme give that a try, adding a slight uneven texture to the paper.

I feel the chain shape looks way softer than the edges of the stamp itself. Maybe that's intentional, but its a bit off to me
