Okay I am NOT even close to an artist

[Aurelias Kazaar]

So any suggestions on this signature would be helpful.

Outside of just saying it sucks ;)

[Droo]

I actually really like this, the composition works very well, except for one thing:

Will it be possible for you to make Kazaar more in proportion with the others, ie. make him larger and squeeze him tighter to the left from the chest up?

[Dasquian Belargic]

Increase the contrast on Mili, I think...

[Aurelias Kazaar]

Edit again...more attempts. Either I'm a perfectionist or I seriously don't 'get' graphics (which is possible).

[Dasquian Belargic]

The contrast on the second one there looks much better...

Kazaar and Mili are a little rough around the edges though. Like, on Kazaar's head for instance, he has a kind of.. light 'halo' that makes him stand out as being pasted on top of the background.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Instead of 'cutting out' people I tend to cheat and use a soft brush to erase around them - especially on tricky areas like hair. Gives you a softer edge to blend into the background.

You have to play with it though, can't erase too much, or too little, y'know?

Refine edge is the best feature in photoshop CS4

Also if you want to blend edges a good trick is to turn down the "blur" tool and just lightly run it over the edges. Helps things blend a little better in some cases.

:cry

[Aurelias Kazaar]

I'm gonna get this thing right I swear...

[Aurelias Kazaar]

Take, what 2008?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Hey that one's pretty good :)

[Aurelias Kazaar]

Does Estelle look 'right' in that picture?

Edit- New addition to the attempt.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Estelle's face looks a little stretched, but other than that it's looking fine.

Really, as far as stuff like this goes, it all boils down to what you like :)

[Aurelias Kazaar]

Yeah well I'm never content...;)

Case in point...

[Dasquian Belargic]

The contrast is all pretty even there, edges are all pretty smooth, Estelle doesn't look so stretched anymore...

:thumbup Looks good.

[Kale]

Big improvement! I like it a lot! :)

[Aurelias Kazaar]

Nya, I hate you. I absolutely hate you. :p

I swear this is it. Maybe.

[Nya Halcyon]

:lol

*is tempted to make more suggestions for further improvement*

It does look good now.

[Dasquian Belargic]

What's the difference with the second one there? Only that you chopped off her arm?

[Aurelias Kazaar]

Yup. I love the picture but her arm was distracting. Especially if no one else in the image had a weapon.
