    Thank you, I think that it could have done with the text in a straight line going along the bottom ._.

    Too late to change it now D: I can't take it apart ;__;

    That is very awesome.

    The text is the problem.

    You should turned it the other way around, or not put it instead.

    Over on the right, the paw, id take a soft erase brush around the sides to blend it better, maybe add a brightness/contrast layer and a color balance layer. The purple on green works, but i think some other color layers could make it better.

    Your render is huge and your text is very out of place, Meaning bad in this case.

    That's much better.

    I like version 2 more better.

    Yes, the contrast between purple and green isn't the best. Originally the background was meant to be more of a blue, but I changed it to green because of the text :/

    Now that I have other versions, it looks a wee bit silly, doesn't it.

    Yes, I made versions without text. I know the render is huge, I wanted it to be so. Maybe it does look a little out of place XD


    Thank you, I prefer version 3 because the arm is there. Version 2 to me looks a little...strange.

    Heres some edits I made:
    [​IMG]
    1) Desaturated render, added multiple color layers, and did filter render clouds to erase random parts
    2) Notice the lighting on the render, added a light source and spruced it up with filter render lightingsources
    3) Blurred choppy edges of render
    4)Burned sides away from light source

    This all blends the render in a bit more, and takes into account a huge part of sigs, lighting. Hope this helps for the next ones you do.

    I love your version so much more D:

    How do you add multiple color layers on GIMP? I know how to make layers, but not really what you are trying to say. Can you explain it a wee bit to me?

    I think in GIMP if I can remember......
    Filter>Color>Map>Gradient Map
    Do that on a new layer and play with the adjustment layers and opacity.
    I haven't used GIMP in so long but I think that is correct.
