Red Garden Wallpaper

[MaruDashi]

So I decided to make a wallpaper based on the signature I made myself...but I dunno. Comments, suggestions, critiques?

[manage attachments and imageshak dont wanna work for me, so linky is here]

I really like the picture. I just think maybe the text should be bigger? I don't know either, just look at my sig. I don't have a clue on how to really improve pictures. X.X *Head is stumped*

Sorry if I make no sense and wasted your time..... Lol :P

I like it. It's really nice. The only problem I have with it is that the flowers part of the picture blends into the background. The text is fine but if you want it to pop more, maybe you should make it thicker? Overall, very very nice, though.

It looks great. I love the shadow and how the roses are blended into the arm and hair. I knew you'd keep the best sig for yourself. >/ I did have a little trouble trying to read the text. Two dark colors on top of one another blends too easily but that is only when its zoomed out. Up close its easy to see.

Oh, I think it's stunning~ the shadow adds a nice 3d effect and the halftone dot pattern adds depth. It's also very vibrant and not over sharpened like some.

The text is a tad hard to see on the red background, but it fits. =D

Darn! Why didn't I ever see this thread here before? O____o


If you're still looking to work on it some more, here are my suggestions


Overall, too red. Red. red. red. That's all I see. There's just way too much blending -.-

Umm....It's going to take me a while to type all this out and I don't have much time, so I thought I'd quickly edit your image a bit to show you what I mean.

What I used here is a technique called 'Split Toning' along with Layer masks to get some more color in. I really suggest trying it ^^


So other than the blending, the pattern on her arm is also troubling me a bit, but I guess that's just me ^^;
Another thing that doesn't feel right is the text. It's just too dark to be read properly with all that red color around.
Also, the lighting at the top. Better control it and make it go in an upward direction instead of allowing it to fill the top edge like that. Or even removing it would be okay I guess, but I dunno. I'll leave it to you.


Well, that's all I got for now. Good luck with it =3

some white lines, dots, sprinklies (lol) whatever you think will work, to offset the bleeding reds. not too much, just enough to distract a person from all the red. perhaps make some of the texts white too, but keep some in black.

I adore the image itself. Not too fond of the texture though, and I think there's just too much red. And I really really don't like where the text is... It feels so removed from the image itself.

i really like this its..amazing the goth look to it the red coloring and the uprising of the roses its just beautiful

[Vodka_bear]

Mmm nice roses But it's too gloomy... and so isn't worthy of my monitor

[Princess Minako]

The concept is beautiful. My only suggestion is the unilateral direction of the roses from her. The effect is seeming like "blood" if so maybe make it more of an explosion. Also something to make them stand out more they do blend into the bg a bit. It is great tho. I love walls that draw you in and you see more the more you study it
