Linkin Park Fan - Text seems out of place. It's also kinda hard to see. It should at least stand out, but not distract flow. I'm not a big fan of the border either; maybe a 1px border would work better? Or maybe a widescreen border?

Accord - Wow, that looks good. My only complaint is the right side: it looks a bit too empty. I'd love to see just a little bit of that purple effect from the left on the right side as well.

Pardon me. This was my first time using Photoshop in a few months. I'm really rusty.

Accord: Damn. You are the undisputed master of clipping masks. All your pieces using them turn out fantastic. Good job.

Stevebeoulve2: Pretty good. The splatters work but I'm not a fan of the way you've worked your stock into the piece. The stroke border around her is not working.

Steve: I love the splatter effects, that's what gave me inspiration for this.

The stock looks kinda awkward, maybe it's cuz she's so skinny. It's nothing that you could have fixed.

Nice job.

Now...in lue of your inspiration.

Lyrikal_Retorik. wow awesome effect & im deff diggin the color choice if anything id just say the contrast is a bit much but thats about it.



in the dark

L_R: The effects to the stock were done nicely, but I just don't like the white splatter brushes on the right side.

Bubbster: All the effects are nice, and the colors are OK. But on the right side you see the effects moving in a diagonal type design, and that doesn't fit in with the rest of the banner.

New:

Fourteen: Nice effects and quite a pleasing banner. The text is alright but It's a bit plain.

I'd like to get some C&C on my first Photoshop large canvas work:
(I'm a beginner >_>)

I know it's plain so I was wondering what do you guys think I should add to it?

squirrel, do you really have to type in that color orange? It really hurts people's eyes.

As for the wallpaper, it looks really good, but I think you could add some more colors into it.

I'm sorry. >_> I edited my post. =)

Any ideas on what I should add on it?

xSquirrel_Loverx: its pretty good, the orange seems a little bright to me(not sure about others though), and more could be done with the empty space

Fourteen: it has nice effects to it, but don't you think you could have done a bit more with the text?

I made this as a request, I'm trying not to stick to one style too much, but changing from one to the other is a little hard for me



Didn't come out too well, but like I said, I'm trying not to stick to one style

<sub>BPE: The smudge job on this is horrible You can still see parts of the stock. Next time try to put the brush at a lower spacing maybe? The text isn't very good also.

New:

Deserted

A bit of photo manipulation.</sub>

Two pieces that I made today:

Haha.

@ lyrikal - absolutely amazing man, the BG just works so well that it makes it perfect.

@ bubbster - I like your piece but theres something about that colors that doesnt remind me of a dark place.

@ Fourteen - overall, nice and simple, it'd look better with some improvements, say, some of Ironman in the fog or something
