I'm not sure which one looks better. The softer looking one or the darker one?
That one's the better one in my opinion. The other one looks too brash and some of the colors don't really look good. This one is really prettily made ^^

Oh wow! Yur work is awesome, I love the latest Yuna and Tidus one, shame you didnt win. And the Twilight banner and the one with the cute girl are stunning. You have some talent there ^^
I'd say the softer Cloti avatar looks better. It looks cleaner and softer on the eye too.
You're really improving and your avatars seem to be your strong point lately.
don't let not winning get you down because your latest avatar entry was really pretty. =3
Your lighting with avatars is soft and subtle. I want to see more avatars. =3 I also wanna see more sigs because whilst it may not be your strongest point, they're not bad at all. =3

My entry for AOTW 38: Theme FFX-2 - Didn't win XD
That was the winning avatar in aotw in my oppinion. HAd there been more votes i think you wouldve won it.
Uv improved again with ur work ^^ i love the use of colours and the softer feel ur tags have. U have to teach me someday xD I really wanna see you make some more sigs, i think if u incorporated the same styles into your sigs as you do ur avatars theyd look really quite stunning.
I prefer the second CloudxTifa avatar, both are great but the 1st one looks a little washed compared to the 2nd which has an effective use of colours which run nicely into each other and it also has a main focal point that stands out more.
Your AoTW was brilliant too. The image used is nice and clear which is always good to start off as a base layer, the effects and colour were then used fantastically well. Keep up the great work Kandy Girl!

Hey thanks heaps for the encouragement guys. XD
The annoying thing is that most people don't even look at AOTW as they do SOTW so I don't really feel too confident each week when I enter. =/
I shall try to do something for this week I think. I really should give SOTW a shot for the first time. XD
Thanks again guys! Much appreciated!

Just thought I'd show my entry for AOTW 39 - Full Metal Alchemist:
I entered both AOTW and SOTW this week too. I haven't ever entered a SOTW on here until now.

I just did a request for someone here on the forums. I don't know if they'll use it or if they'll even come back for it because they aren't quite active, but I decided to practice a bit more.

The size of the signature for that particular image was too big in my opinion but it was the size the member requested. I think I managed anyway.
Constructive Criticism is greatly appreciated!

LOL! I don't have any contructive comments to add, besides that I laughed hard at the line and then the image was too cute! xD!!! It's so awesome. I love how the latest set looks.
I also like the darker cloti avatar better.
Your Yuna and Tidus avvy is drop dead goregous. ^^

LOL thanks. XD
Yeah I really liked that Yuna and Tidus one I did! I love that couple so much. XD I put so much effort into it and AOTW that week didn't even really get acknowledged. v_v
And yeah I prefered the darker Cloti avy at first and then I leaned toward the softer one for some reason. Maybe because majority of people reckoned that was the nicer one after I posted them. XD
Thanks again hun!

Your newest avatar is epic, I love the colour and lighting you've used. It's spot on!
I also love the sig, you've done really well the negative space and the red and orange brushing is fantastic, the brushes used are also used effectively. I think the only thing I'd change was the grey font to the the orange or red you've used just to bring it altogether. Apart from that amazing work, keep it up. 8D

I think the signature is just a little too big for the image, it just looks like it's floating into space. I'd tone down the white a little bit too. I think turning the text into an orange color would be better too. But overall, it's a very nicely made signature ^^
Did you ever get CS2 btw? Or are you still using 7.0?
Thanks guys!
Yeah as I said before, the member asked it to be that size. XD I almost decided to make it smaller but then thought it didn't look too bad in the end.
Also I did originally have the text a faded orange, but it thought the whole thing looked too orange then and changed it. XD
Oh and I totally forgot about downloading CS2 Mark! =0
I tried to do it the first day you sent it but I had a bad connection and then I totally forgot to go back to it!
I shall try to remember to do it on the weekend. XD
Thanks again for the nice comments guys. =)

I haven't commented here in awhile, so I figured I can make up for it. I browsed through your work and I can tell that there have been big improvements, especially with your avatars. You're really getting better and I love that Tidus/Yuna one. I can't believe I forgot to vote for AOTW 38. >.>
As for chibi L, the tag looks fine to me. I know you were quite limited and had to follow the member's instructions. So judging from that, looks pretty nice. My only suggestion is to work more on the right side since the orange seems to come out of nowhere. I love the left side - I thought that was pretty unique. Text color needs a little work, although the font is fine.
As for the avatar, it's very cute. But I think there's a bit too much bright red - but hey, artists that goes for bold colors that is out of the norm is always good. xD
For the Cloti avatars, I like v2 better. Both are good, but I like darker colors. With v1, I do like how the background seems to blend in with Cloud and Tifa a little, so that's good.
Anyway, keep up the good work! Would love to see more tags from you.

The colours are very nice i have to say and i like the wash of red on the right. I think your right about the size, had it been smaller i think you may have found it alot easier to work with seeing as the stock is small it leaves for a bit too much emoty space. Good to see your doing sigs now
your good at them, so keep practising.
Hey thanks again guys! I appreciate your comments!
Here's last weeks entries for SOTW and AOTW.
AOTW 40 - Hatred - I won! XD
SOTW 90 - Passion - I won! XD
I didn't enter either competitions this week. Felt like a break and I didn't really know too much about either of the games.

Hahaha u enter sotw for the first time ever and win 
you really should enter more often. You must have a few aotw wins under ur belt aswell now, u have to give me tips on making them someday. =)
Right.
That avatar is very creative, i noticed it as soon as i opened the thread, i think the simple colours really do it justice, it keeps it nice to the eye but very bright and catchy. Great work there.
Thats the best sig ive seen you make to date, its the simplicity of the colours that make it so desirable, black white with those little touches of red, it makes the sig very pretty indeed. I was lookin for something to say what you could do to improve on it but im drawing a blank its perfect how it is. I was gunna say a border but i can see you already have one.
Great work kandy and congrats on the double win =) well deserved.

I just got CS2 tonight thanks to Mark! and I decided to play around in it. Although I didn't venture too far with anything yet. XD
Felt like making a Cloud and Tifa signature after failing at one a while ago.
I'm sorta iffy on it. There's something about it I don't like but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe one of you more experienced GFXer's can find it. XD
Once again constructive criticism please. =)

I think its the colours, theres a slight clash. The green and blues around cloud are cold colours then over to the left their warm colours, reds oranges etc. I think with a bit more matching or blending it would look a little better. Cs2 is brilliant by the way, youl notice huuge differences between it and elements. Takes a while to get to grips with all the features but ure used to making tags anyway so you shouldnt have a problem. =)
