Here are some graphics I made and decided to post for all to view and comment on...

Blends.....

^^^Simple and easy, but I not being a fan of a dozen pictures smashed together, I like it.

^^I've never been a huge fan of the repeating picture concept but here's my first try at it...it turned out better then I thought it would! :D

Banners...

Image

Avatars...

^^This one I did a long time ago when I was new to graphic making...that reason why it isn't so good!

Hi! I'm back! :D

Ok anyway, here are my two cents:

Vader blend-Really nice! I love it! The only suggestion on this one is to make the text a little bit more visible...but other than that, it's great! *pats you on the back*

Arwen blend-oooo...shiny...*stares* This is a really pretty blend. But I guess the picture of Arwen that's kinda faded into the light looks kinda freaky...if you could take that picture out, I think it would look perfect! This is really pretty! (And shiny. :p)

Sith Skywalker banner-Overall, this is a really cool banner! But I've got to say, it is not your best. I love how you did the text, but the middle of the banner looks empty and the two repeating pictures looks kinda weird...maybe you could cut off less of his face and move them towards the center to make it look a little more balanced. But I love the effects that you did! (Especially the light saber.)

Ringbearer banner-Cool! I love the way you added the light thing on Frodo's face...it looks realy unique. And for a minute, it looks like the hand is connected to the picture of his face...very nicely done! But I think you could try to blend the text in with the banner a little better...maybe use a color that is closer to black. You could also try to make the text different colors at once...and maybe a fancier font? I don't know. Just my opinion. This is really cool though! Especially the effects! Love it!

Senator Amidala banner-OMG, this is really beautiful! You placed the stars all in the right spot, and also blurred her face and smoothed it out perfectly...I love it! What I would do though, is add some kind of texture or something on top of it...I guess it just looks too simple without anything. But it is really pretty, and I think you can make it even prettier if you can add some more effects. Great job!

Hidalgo banner-*gasp* This is definitely one of your better banners! This is so beautiful and...shiny...and so, it just looks really good! I guess the only suggestion I could make is to take off the grid brush...it kinda makes it look...technical...or mechanical or something. But I love this! Love it love it love it!

Avatars-For the Arwen one, I think the text is a little too plain...and maybe you could add a little brush in the top right corner. Very pretty, though! I personally like the ringbearer one better, lol...I like how you did the text and Frodo's face, again. Good job!

keyodie -- the orangey text on Frodo's face was part of the picture :) (I saw the pic in Arwen's gallery ;)) -- just thought I'd let you know! ;)

I like the simplicty of the Anakin blend. It's not over crowned, which is a mistake you see alot in blends. And the two pics go really well together.

The Arwen blend is really nice. Its well blended, and the fact that its just the one image used doesnt stand out at all.

The banners are nice, and most of the fonts are well chosen. Probably only the first one would have been better with something a little less handwritten, but thats a matter of opinion. ;)

The avvies are good too, the only suggestion I would have is try some effects on the pics. The shiney/blurry thing you've done on the Amidala banner may go nicely on an avatar.

Over all, I like your graphics. :) Good job!

Celebwhen: Thankyou!! Your graphics are Lifesgraces are sooo well done...I feel honored. :D

Okay, and now for some art.
I did these two SW blends the other week...the Luke blend I like alot, the Leia, I'm not sure about, maybe too much pink.
