Hey. New to the board and GFX...my 1st Photo Manip

http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/4256/photomanip2.gifanycrit is welcome...thanks

a bit mysterious huh? nice idea tho the execution is not that good. Well first off is the girl, the lighting on her doesnt match the background. Second is the shark and the pigeon(?) they are a bit lq and they don't look well fitted to the bg. Lastly, the eagles their depth doesn't match the whole scene. Well kiu dude just try to make some more manips and you will improve in no time.

Randomness at it's best.

concept is good... look up some tutorials on manip blending.

Hey, thanks guys!...ill check out the tutorials, I wasnt trying to be random, this was kinda sorta my vision of Whitney Houstons life

She got stuck out in sea, watched two eagles ate a load of fast food then got struck by lighting?

Distelo, if you cant use your mind to think further than what you see you should probably refrain from speaking to me.

the eyes represent the media and her fans. the princess represents her princess "persona" before meeting bobby. the storm just represents all that was going on in her life, the gun represents her standing up for herself. The pigeon is meant to represent Bobby and all that she watched her mom go thru....

Ah get over yourself it was a joke.

work on your blending and try not to crowd the image so much you've got a lot of different things going on in there right now.

Look up some simple tutorials, you'll learn over time :)

I'd say it's the opposite of randomness.
Speaks a pretty good message in my opinion.

As for some CnC. The birds feet could cling more to the boat. Tornado looks pretty bad, maybe just take it out? The girl on the boat looks a bit like a cardboard cutout, not like she's actually there.
Would give some more criticism, but i'm not too good at manips :P

this sucks man, work on proportion and all that good stuff. it'll get better.

I can only agree with others, working on a blending is something you should do. But for a first manipulation it's nice ;)

Too much stuff going on and none of it blended properly. The light source is coming from a different point on each of the objects when clearly the lightning should be the lightsource. (the clouds should reflect this too.)


Colouring is a bit boring too. It's clear it was gradient mapped as it lacks any other colours its all different hue's of blue/gray this is a lazy way to blend stuff and im afraid it shows.


Ambitious first attempt.

@ONO: your work sucks too, aint no body saying sh*t about it mate.

@OP: Keep up the work man, yeah I mean you gotta work on blending, lighting, etc...more, but for your first manip, this is great. Don't quit, and haters gon hate...lmfao...keep it up, and keep working on more manips dude.
