    Okay, so I think the inspiration for this came from finding an AAML shrine while looking up what a song was. But I like it. I tried to make the background look like water. CnC?

    I like it, and it almost does look like water, except for the orange and the yellow and some-what blue...but I still give my regards and I say a total of 9.7/10.

    Thank you! Yeah, I will probably try to get that yellow part out, good thing I saved a xcf file.

    If it didn't have the yellow, I'd give a total of 10.

    Edit: I fixed it. It seems to plain at the top:

    First version was much better if you could take advantage of the orange/yellow somehow.

    But since you already listend to Entity, I doubt you can anyway.

    First, try to think of a general flow and composition for the colours. Next, you want to sort of spread it so that it becomes sort of a "sub-effect" in a way. However, you don't want it to overpower your original background. What program are you using anyway?

    In anycase, since the background is too abstract to look like water at this point, I think you need to deviate away from your original plan and just make it into an abstract tag. That would be your best bet.

    I would personally make this one textless.

    Okay, please don't argue, I did ask for some tips, and I think I can use what was said. And I am using GIMP, also, this was one of the two things I have done in a while, using a bunch of new stuff, so I need to get a hang of things again. Thank you.

    I'm trying no to, I personally liked how you changed it really, makes it more water-like in the background.

    Ooooo... I love the nice soft effects on the signature. It makes the signature look very nice and it works for Misty too. :D Great job on it. :)

    You focus too much on the background itself and not the tag as a whole. THIS is why I know think I'm better than you.

    Hmmm Gimp. I've never used GIMP, nor have I ever felt the need to since I've always used Photoshop, but I guess I could try and tell you what to do better. Anyway, the way it works is I give you vague advice, and you need to let your creativity take care of the rest.

    This one is really nice, but the background reminds me more of clouds than water somehow. I think it is the fluffiness of the patched spots of white areas. I also think it would look better text-less, or pehaps move the text around to other areas to try different looks.

    Very nice. I like the 3 shades of blue in the shot. The text could be a bit more viable though. Overall, I give this a 9/10.
