You sure do whine an awful lot =l. I'm sure it will be back to normal soon and, joking aside, it's not actually painful unless your monitor is set to some impractical level of brightness.

I like the way it makes my eyes spaz out. It's kinda like REM sleep except I'm still awake. Now if you'll all excuse me, I need to go gouge my corneas.

I think it suits this community's members well olololol.

Please don't stone me ;_;.

I thought it was appropriate.

I'll rape your family with a rusty metal toothbrush and enslave you all like the white man I am. FEAR MEEEE. Those who resist will face the cold malice of my scorn and I might even call you fat.

This is temporary, right 8D?

Right?

*Just so we're all on the same page, I'm addressing Chevalier but this is really for Amethyst as to help give a better and more clear idea on how to improve.

Aight, so, I agree with most of what you've said however there's a monumental difference between giving advice and giving blueprints to sculpt it to your own image. I'm not trying to be at all confrontational with you, but let's be honest: your opinion is very forceful and overbearing plus you emphasize yourself somewhat pretentiously. The stuff I left in your quote is what I disagree with to at least some degree.

There is a bit of blending, though not particularly emphasized, so I wouldn't say it's not blended at all however the real reason I'm addressing that is because it's misleading advice. I mean, yes blending often comes from having foreground elements but color blending is equally important to background -> focal -> foreground blending. There's a moderate amount of color coordination, nothing really to clap about though, so I'd focus more on that rather than simply covering the render which is what you're recommending. Yes, it's important, but something can have no foreground elements at all and still be perfectly blended though it'd be rather tough. Really the worst part is not that there isn't enough blending with layering but rather the color of the skin which is very warm compared to the very cold colors of everything else. The vibrancy of that should be lowered a bit and some soft brushing on color dodge might be able to help that out along with a few photofilters. Perhaps some burning set to 'shadows' would help, too.

The textures comment just... yeahhhh. Signatures don't need textures to blend. That's actually like, I'm not really sure why you said that but aight to each their own. I don't think textures would look appropriate here at all.

As for the background, I agree with the last sentence but everything else is like waitwat. The filters have immense potential it's just that it takes a lot of practice, experimenting, and knowledge on how things come together to make them work so I agree Amethyst should stay away from them for the time being, but to say that they should be avoided or only subtle is also misleading. I think the white text could blend very easily, actually. It should be behind the render to draw less attention if it's going to be such a bright color, but the white with tints of blue could be pulled off though I don't know how much it would really contribute to the tag rather than just taking up space but looking alright. The violet is a little out of place since there's no violet at all on Snow (not really blue either but it looks more natural) but the blues are definitely okay. I think the light blue in the foreground helps a lot but it needs to be executed a fair bit better but that's something that takes practice and Amethyst is just returning now.

Out of everything, this is the one thing I actually wtf'd on. Pastel colors...? Perhaps for some retro white background super bright super linear dodged cliché style but... wut. Pastel colors with this would look horrendous. The shades of blue look fine. I'm just, uhh, yeah. Moving onnnn.

The lighting is fine. It is consistent. You don't need a light source to know that there's a light there. To explain, look at this link here. The lighting is consistent and proper although there is no noticeable 'light source'. The light is clearly coming from above the water but if the girl was removed you would not be able to tell because there isn't a blunt light. Yet, even still, this photograph is of very natural light. Using a light filter might help draw attention to the focal, but it doesn't actually change shadows or highlights and it really isn't necessary. It's more dramatic than aesthetic.

The text isn't ideal or really helping add to the tag, but the font isn't too bad. It's a very neutral font. It's not necessarily good nor is it particularly bad. The placement is way off, though. Text, being something that we automatically unconsciously read, will always draw attention and so it should be in the focal area which it definitely isn't. So, Amethyst, do keep in mind when using text that it needs to contribute to the tag and not simply label it but that by human nature it will attract attention. This works to your advantage because wherever you want people to look, particularly at Snow, is where you can put text to draw attention. Makes sure it isn't competing for attention, though.

As for the new tag... eh XD; The border really doesn't add to the tag and the butterfly brush smudging is really odd and unfitting. The coloring is okay though a bit cliché but it is very consistent with your stock/render/whatever. The blurring seems like it was done at random though with Vanille's body and it's really distracting and odd. The lighting is also consistent. The first tag with Snow is better, though. Always remember: Freely performed hobbies should be done as fun for the hobbyist as they are amateur and not professional and so you should embrace it to your own desire and image. Don't construct your tags so that others will praise you. Eventually, if you practice it, you will become good enough that even if they never liked your direction/style, they will come to appreciate its talent and thus its own visually appealing nature.

No entries even for freestyle? o.o

Some pretty srs laxatives. The water is gorgeous and could've been incorporated really really nicely but the placement and overlapping is really odd XD; The colors are good too although it could really use some darker value colors closer to black to help with depth and composition. The light stock looks good and helps it out a fair bit too ;D. A couple things bother me though such as the really random lighting. It looks like you used full opacity color dodge so it's a little too harsh and the placing is really odd (her foot is radioactive XD). It also needs more focus in detail surrounding the focal area. But, still, I liek.

umm gtfo of my profile plz? gosh geez u kinda smel

Well, I suppose I can let you in.
