Im sure you will get used to it. Once you get the main basics, then it becomes very funny (until everyone starts to ask same pics over and over again  Evil or Very Mad  )

Eh its not about you, generally im bored of doing SW works because 90% of people just know the main figures so they demand them over and over again

That's because there really are only good pictures of main figures. Wink

In fact, thats also true. Star Wars is not a universe that everything was created before like Middle Earth. So someone draws something cool then everything starts to move around that new thing. For example, it is most probably impossible to say that Zabrak would be such a famous species if Maul would not be created.

No offence, but can you not use my thread for this discussion?

Here's another:

Will's seems to be the best you have done so far. You integrated the text into it, which makes it look better than with the text just sitting there. The photos are also merged and not just placed over each other.

I think you found the "layers" option bar, lol.

Exhibit A:



They are cut out and just placed in the image, no effects or blurring... No offense or rudeness meant...

I merged all images down. I seriously am beginning to dislike you, you're apparantly the No.1 authority on forums and now GIMP?? I seriously doubt it. I merged all images down. I should know because I was the one who created it. I've followed all tutorials on youtube, official websites etc.

From here on in, all comments are welcome, criticism too, but don't tell me I didn't do something which I KNOW I did. Especially since you weren't there.

Aequitas, calm down, he complimented you and yet you found some way to blow up about it. Just because you followed a tutorial does not mean you had the same results. The images do in fact look cut out and pasted on there, regardless of whether or not you merged, that's not what Marix is talking about. What's he's talking about is blending which means you didn't take the time to combine the pictures together in an effective manner. Look at my signature, see how the images do not look like I simply cut it out with scissors and glued it on? The edges of the smaller image of the guy is smooth and realistic as opposed to choppy and unreal. I am not sure about GIMP's tools so I can't explain to you the proper way to blend there but do know that there are ways to better blend things together and it doesn't just involve cutting or however you do it. When you do a good blend the image does not look so flat and 2D, which is sort of how yours look now.

I blew up beacuse the one he took as an example I feel is one of my best. I spent 3 hours on it. Now, some of the images on it are placed in those areas for a reason. Yes, it may look choppy, but I adjusted opacity, I merged down. Those are effects, no?

I apologise for reacting badly but I did work hard on it.

But the point is that you can improve, that's what criticism is for, you may have spent hours on that and that's good but you can still improve. Art is about improving and changing, you're never going to be perfect. If you wanted something to be evident in your art and it wasn't and someone says it wasn't, then that's a signal that you should try harder next time to make it more visible. It's a learning experience, don't expect every critic to be nice, I grew up with hard critics be it teachers or friends.
