I know I said I'm done gfxing on the last thread I created

Some kid said i sucked at doing what I do, so I challenged him to a little battle. He picked the theme, and he "knows" he's going to beat me.

Tips accepted, flamers will be pissed on, k.

I think it's beautiful, except I would have made the text different. It seems to poke out a little too much. Perhaps try contrasting the grass on the hill a little more, too.

Ohh very nice, Just the text doesn't really fit in for me.
Try fidling around with the font and colour e.t.c
Good job though

The smudging with the brush you did on the bottom left side of the tree looks like I needs to be fixed up on, in comparison to the right side.

Oh, did you get my entry, by any chance?

And thanks for the remarks, this would most likely be my last piece I make for a while.

What for the underbanners for this week's SOTW?

Yeah, check your messages. Unless it didn't send.

Can I see the picture before editing?

Der.

Eh, the smudging looks a little weird. I think you should fiddle with that a bit and change the text, but otherwise really really cool :D

I don't understand this.. :( why did you smudge it and then write green?!

It looks like he couldn't get some of the ocean-blue out from behind the lower leaves on the tree. That's just a guess though.

This looks like it could be a cover for the book"Green".

You could try adding an all-over hazing filter to remove the odd looking smudging or smudge all contrasting lines, change or remove the text, otherwise good. Although I can't say I approve of picking fights with children over the internet about GFXing skills, but whatever floats your boat. Or in the case, grows your e-penis.

It's very nice, the smudging around the tree is too apparent though. Also, I'd axe the text. Nice work though!

Clearly he did all this for the artistic value. You did a good job I must admit, however like everyone is saying, the smudging throws it off a little, try to blend the two pictures together by using a 4.0 Gaussian Blur, then editing the blur to Soft or Hard light and dabble with the opacity, I think that will make the picture come out a tad bit better.

Thanks Neven, I'll try that, I fucked the trunk up (with the smudging) and my hand slipped. I didnt noticed until I saved it. >.<

After seeing the originals, it looks like you put a lot of work into it :D
The smudging and text seem a little bit off, you should work on that.

Quick story

I made this one because some kid said I sucked at gfx, so i'm proving him wrong.

I like it a lot. I just don't like the smudging. Good job!

What is the purpose of smudging? I don't see why you would do that. The text has been noted by others a lot so just look at what they said.

The image as a whole is very nice.
