I made a new one, and I think it turned out quite well (for my third one, that is.)



Any C&C wiould be greatly appreciated.

First off:

The rendering is rubbish (sorry, but it is smilewinkgrin.gif ), especially on Arwen

The text ( I choose..) is wrong, she says I CHOSE...rather than choose. The font is icky, it is hard to read and the placing is kind bad, the color stands out too much, and it is squasghed up too near her face.

Aragorn: does not fit with colour scheme (blue).

The evening star necklace: is badly rendered, takes awya attention and is distracting.


I would get rid of aragorn all together, because he distracts too.

Sorry for completely hammering you, please forgive me.

Thanks for the help. Like I said, I'm new at this.



I took your advice and found a different background. I thought it might work better with a simplistic look. What do you think?
(I looked up the quote and I was right, it is choose.)

Quite right, it was choose....I always thought it was a past tense...

This is much better; it looks very good. What I would say now, however, is to move the text. It is still distracting; you need to place it somewhere along the bottom or very near her.

What do you think now? I moved the text so it was less noticable.

Being the idiot that I am, I accidently deleted the pic on Photobucket.

Better, but I would have on one line, not two. The colour of the text is vivid blue- try and make it a grey blue like the rest of the sig.

Wow,that's improved greatly! And don't worry, not too long ago I was pathetic...

Thanks. I'm working on making a new one that puts Arwen and Aragorn together.



What do you think?

Faaaaaaar to busy, you have 3 images in one. The colours are all different. You could use only one (maybe the 1st one?), change the colours to make it more one colour, and then mess around.

I was just messing around with that one, trying out what I can do. Gimp has so many features, I'm still figuring out what does what.

I really like this one, what do you think?

I don't know why the line on the right is there, it wasn't when I made it.

The line I presume is where you have moved the image. So what did you actually change?

But it wasn't there when I hosted it on Photobucket, only after I pasted it.

Well, I took the original image, resized it to where I wanted it, then I messed around with the smudging and bluring. To make it brighter on the right hand side, I tried Dodging. I think it turned out pretty nice.

The image is blurry, by the way.
Did you scale it up or down?

What do you think people would say it is if they saw it?
Because you have no obvious graphical changes, they would probably say that you cropped an image. You need to add something that will change it and add to it, like a brush.

On the sides, it was meant to be blurry, but if you are reffering to the actual image, I found it like that. Not the best quality.
I scaled it down.
The only addition that I really did was the repeating bush on the left. I also really altered the lighting, though I'm not quite sure how. What would you recommend that I do?
