    One of them is getting CnC from you.

    So I have plenty of avis to dump on you all. Use them freely. (All 150x150 by the way... I guess it's the motivation from premiumship. XP)

    Your word signature reminds me of my music one. (: I like you even better now.

    But anyway, the first one of Sora looking at the seer is not as good as the second, seeing as the first is off subject. As for the one of Roxas, the background is a bit, choppy, if you intended to do that, it looks pretty good like that, if not, well...?

    Other than that, I really like these.

    Yeah, I kinda got the inspiration for my word sig from yours. X)

    Anyway, I intended to do everything that I did, including with the Roxas avi.

    I really like these <3 My favourite is the Riku and Sora one fighting, the colours are really vibrant and lovely.

    To be honest they're all really nice because they're high quality images and the effects done on them make them look really nice. Plus your placement of them makes them nice to look at (if that makes sense).

    I can't think of any critisim so just keep it up ^^

    It makes perfect sense. I try to make it pleasing to look at while keeping the focus on the main part of the pic (like in the one with Riku and Sora, it's focused on them and their clashing keyblades.)

    Anyway, more avis. I figured sticking them here is better than making a whole other thread. X)

    Can you please tell me where you got such good KH stocks? I need to know!!! The one of sora and riku fighting is my favourite, but I also like the other sora ones.

    As for your second post, the DMC ones look AMAZING!!! Also, little tip if you want to do transparent avvys...dont. The render touches the edges so the effect of transparency is gone, but you have to make your render really small if you dont want to do that. If you do transparent avvys, do text ones, Theyre more effective =)

    still very good job on these! Keep it up!

    I just took snapshots of my opening clip for KH2 FM. I got the high quality opening from KH-13. It should be in here somewhere. The page for cutscenes on their site is down but all the clips are in there. The opening cinematic should be titled A Connecting Dream. Even taking the snapshots through WMM leaves them in decent quality. I just sharpen and dodge/burn it.

    On the one Disgaea avi, it's not transparent. Look on my Photobucket page and see. It just came out being the same color as the template for the site... T.T'

    Nice icons. Only thing you really have to work on is making them crisp without over-sharpening them.

    Also don't be afraid to mess with levels and gradients and textures when working with icons.
    Doing this will help your overall skill and make your icons poppin'.

    The text tag is kinda lacking but it's good to try new things always.
    Biggest thing you could do is make everything readable at a glance. If you could do that it would be a major improvement.

    Keep it up.

    Got four more avis. Two use screenshots from Days so that should be a nice change from the KH2 opening stuff...

    ^ Those need to be more crisp. Easy way out would be to sharpen it up I suppose.

    I really like where this is going. Prem Avatars, ftw. <3
    Anyway, the KH Stock ones are pretty good, but like Cody said: Crispening makes everything better for the eyes. You don't have to strain to get it so clear.
    What my trick is, when you have a stock open, if you're in Photoshop; go to your crop mode. Change the dimensions of your cropping to 500 in by 500 in. When you do this, it'll make all the icons huge. DON'T PANIC. When you go to the Image tab on the top, go down to Image Size... and type in 150 x 150 for the dimensions. It'll size it down to your liking, and it'll more then likely give it a crisper look. If it's a bigger photo you're trying to use, then it'll size it down either way.
    That's what I normally do. c:
    Hope that helped out for you.

    OH, and the anime avatars are looking nice. I'd just suggest that you put some coloring or texture in them, to make them really pop out at the viewer. <3

    They were already sharpened. I would do it another time but it seemed like it was a bit TOO crisp imo. I don't wanna oversharpen and show the pixels but I don't feel like they're undersharpened or anything at the moment.

    I can try experimenting a bit and see what'll work...

    @Rissy I can try it in GIMP and see what happens, but thanks. X)
