uhh, I'll try. Perhaps I'll ask Patchy.

Chimuts · 2010-10-14, 08:15

Made sure the leaves aren't cut, and used real transparency this time

ganbaru · 2010-10-14, 08:28

@ Chimuts it's looking way better now.

milan kyuubi · 2010-10-14, 09:06

V8 (probably the final if you don't like v9)

V9

c&c? Please

@Chimuts Like ganbaru said it looks great now

Chimuts · 2010-10-14, 09:23

@MK
I prefer v8, the v9 is too crowded for my tastes :x and pink feels out of place...
right side (hand and guitar part) looks a bit blurred, but it looks good that way

And I feel in general like either one needs something. What could it be? I mean, besides blending.

Also if you put a faint glow edge around the stock itll cover some of the rough edges and make it look better against the background. This tut helps with Outer Glow.

@milan kyuubi: v8 all the way, pink would fit a spring theme but not really a autumn one.

Drake · 2010-10-14, 15:27

Kinda stumped on text as nothing seems to fit very well.

V3

Thinking of just removing the text altogether.

Touhou

I really love this image and thought about using it myself, but figured I'd run into the same problem your sig is having. It's too close to the original source, almost a crop. The eye color has been changed and everything clarified and more saturated, but I don't feel you've deviated from the source enough. Were you planning on adding anything else?

I also agree with you that the text feels out of place as it is. Because the background is so pretty, it's hard to fit it in a place where you'd naturally put it, somewhere on the left middle.

Spoiler for original wall:

I dunno yet =/ I have a few ideas for a background but I'm not sure they'd be any better than the current one.

I probably will rework it in the end as I think its a little empty without any text and its pretty difficult to get any to fit as is.

I really like the character so I want to stick with it soooo suggestions anyone ? =]

Rennir · 2010-10-14, 17:28

^ Well, if it were me, I'd probably just add a c4d/fractal in there and then blur the bg a bit to create some depth and use the burn tool for shadows and the sides.

ganbaru · 2010-10-14, 21:52

@ Drake, it's a good background, you just need to rework the colors, maybe by adding some contrast or changing the hue or saturation.

The leafs are important but don't underestimate the mountains behind.

Chimuts · 2010-10-14, 22:10

@Drake
the text feels a bit out of place, but if you remove it will the lower left corner not feel empty?
it could use more work, for example changing the shape into a more unique shape.

I like the autumn text, however the sotm text looks out of place. I would either get rid of it or try a different font. Also, it seems kind of monotone to me. Maybe add a bit of different colors?
