So I tried a claim, and that failed, so I decided to post some of my stuff here to see what people really think.

These are the newest things I've done.

Oooh, good job! I don't think I was around when you had a claim up, so yeah. But those are very nice. :D

Your stuff is pretty good! I'd say keep practicing and working at it. What program do you use?

Hm...I've never heard of that. The one I use that's pretty good is GIMP, which you can download for free. It's really nice.

I have to say my favorites of yours are the "I wish I was back in the army" and the Arwen ones.

Commets are welcome you know. I can't get better without comments....
For Dark's "Into the West" banner contest:
Image
a different version...I couldn't decide which was better....
Image
Image

For Turwaithiel Swann's Gimli banner contest:
Image
^didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped...
Image
and a different version:
Image

For Larael's deleted scenes contest:
Image

and a emmy rossum colorization. please look and comment on this at least. i need a redhead for a character of mine and emmy's perfect...aside from the fact that her hair is dark. Is this a convincing redhead?

Your getting even better, Damson! I noticed you save your stuff in JPG, if you save them in PNG they will come out clearer. JPG tends to make them choppy sometimes, I had that problem once. But anyways, very good. Especially with the new banners! Nice colorizations as well. :-D

Great colorizations! The Emmy one does look very much like a redhead, though the area right where her hair meets her scalp is slightly off. But overall it's great. I love the first "Into the West" banner, the first Gimli banner, and the deleted scene one. I definitely see improvement! Keep it up! :D

You're off to a good start. :yes:
What I'd say is, maybe try experimenting with colors. Right now, the colors on your banners are rather simple, but if you play around, it might make them more interesting. ;)
The other thing is, sometimes your text takes away from the images.
Quote:

See, it's kind of all over the place. It'll look better if you stick it in one smaller area instead of across the whole banner.
Quote:
Image

That one is much better. :yes:
Lastly, some of your graphics are... very sharpened. Sometimes it's nice to have them a bit blurrier too. ;)

I do have some positive criticism too. ;) Your blending is very good. :yes: It's mostly the effects that you need to keep practicing. :)

I've never heard of Photosuite, otherwise I'd probably try and be a bit more specific with some tips.
