The text is plain...spice it up a bit,...maybe use colours like the bg...
The Extraction is somewhat ok for first wallpaper, but the exacution isn't too great..especially the two pieces of hair of the greenish hair girl. You might want to fix up extraction before you go on with anything else or put a slight glow around them if you can not extract it quite well yet..

As for the bg: You can keep the colour scheme. You should add something to spice it up like glow balls?, sparkles?, some sort of enegry source?...etc.

Extraction needs some work and there's far too much negative space in the wallpaper. Fix that.

I love the background and the text, but I have a few issues with the characters. First, the edges are very jagged, especially on the leg and the hair. Try fixing that up. Yeah, it will take awhile, but it will look very good in the end.

Don't worry about your english! I teach english to Japanese people, so I understand how hard it may be for you.

Yes again the extraction needs a bit more fixing up but that will come as you practice. You can make the edges smoother by using the smudge tool in photoshop I don't know if that's what you are using. You can decrease the amount of pressure so that you won't smudge a lot then it will look weird. :lol: The bg looks better and the text.

Redo the extraction. The background is plain ugly, change it. The text doesn't match the background, and it's ugly as well. Use other colors, other effects, and another font.

Sorry for being harsh, but there's really a lot that should be fixed.

Sorry, but I personally think the background fits this image perfectly. Unlike others, he used colors and a theme that actually fit with the image. What he really needs to fix are the characters. They are incredibley rough, and not as sharp as they should be. They should be redone or re-colored. As a first wallpaper, I think this is a *great* start.

If enny one is intrested in tacking a stab att it i can poste the sorce image...

hummm.. not sarp enuf.. i think maybe i have aplyde a Blure filter to sofen some
of the edges, but i may have spild on to the caracters to mutch. :unsure:

maybe ther was some los in convertion to jpg...

hummm... maybe a nother font for the text?

Edit:
Well yes... the colors are is smapeld from the caracters

reExstraction... well thats wath i think il try.. going to take some time tho.

so u like the font, well its not as stiff as the first one i used

I don't think the bg is ugly at all..I know everyone has different taste but the colours work well with these character..I mean they are colours from the characters..I think..You got a theme here.

Sure if you like to post the original pic..go ahead. Blurring only the edges hmm I guess you can try that.. but I think its soo rough you should start over with the extraction.

I like the font personallly...it shows some lovey feel..lol

Filter -> Extract
The best tool for extractions (I mostly use it when I have some rather complex extractions). For simple extractions I just use a normal eraser tool.

Anyway, agree with others about the extraction.

some people here would say that the polygon lasso tool is a better extraction device, ive played with it and feel that the filter>extract method is better, even if i do have to go around the edges and clean up some of the leftover garbage.

im back a gain... have nowe re exstracted and tryde to fix upp al the ruff edges

Much better with the extraction ^_^

Hm, personally I'd add a little of glow around the chars (of the same color as the stars).

MistressPookyChan
08-15-2004, 08:55 AM
much better! however, look at the place where the character's legs meet in the middle. there is a little left in that corner. Other than that, I think you did well.

Everyone extracts their characters a little differently. me? I use the good ol' eraser. Yeah, some may say it's slower, but it looks great in the end. Play around and find which is best for you.

Tnx :lol:

i will fix wer the legs meet.. and meybe send it in?

all u ppl here have hlpt me a great deal and tanx gose oute to u all.

:D

Edit:
I tested oute a glow efekt arunde the main cararcters
i used the colors from a star for it and it looks nice.
its only abute 5-9 pixels from the caracters and its realy sutel. its placed on a sepret layer behinde the caracters so it s not having eny efekt on the caracters them selvs(Negative Efects that is).

Edit 2:
Well that depends on howe mutch u fade it.
ok her it is so far. im still open to sudestions :)

5-9 pixel glows are not that subtle... you may want to show us your finished project before sending it in

Maybe try a 3pix glow instead, that one's a bit big. I'd add a nice little effect I just learned, but since it's your wall, I won't start trying to get you to add something I want personally :P. Anyway, finish it up and post it here before you send it in ^_^
