I don't know where I got the inspiration for this tag from. I just open Gimp and set to work experimenting with different features. Rate/Hate.

Um well......its over contrasted and the render is not really blended in well with the effects and things are a bit chaotic. Text is pretty much illegible.
I usually dont say this but hit up a gimp tutorial on this site since I have no idea how to use it so I can't really tell you how to improve it other than to tell you to lower the contrast and the blues are a bit weird and clean it up a bit =/

I meant for it to be chaotic. I felt like it fit. This was actually made using a stock image. I couldn't blend the focal point very well because some of the layers would put an odd contrast on the outlines of it.

Too much contrast, man. Keep it clean, soften it up a little.

I like the Lich King stock you used.

Okay a thing I usually do if I have a stock and am having a hard time putting a nice blend to it is to pick a hard round brush and to play with the spacing and the shape dinamics and the scattering. put it on an strength of like 45 than rush it across your stock in the flow of the sig ( In your case i would suggest from bottom right to top left) It also depends how mcuh you want blended or scattered so play aroudn with a bunch of layers and a bunch of the blending options/ops

Don't be afraid to mess around with your work tho because you can always make dups and hold onto it and decide later if you love or hate it ^^

Thank you Slave. I'll keep that in mind.

Why Gimp? 0.o

because its a free program i believe and an alternative to photoshop. its a pretty good program, i heard.

I didn't like it much compared to Photoshop. Better than Paintshop Pro I suppose.
