damn! that looks smooth

i like the shades of blue

but there are some parts where u messed up but noone is perfect :(

do u do GFX for a living?

[elbarto241]

nope, im a complete amatur :D just started 2 days ago with photoshop :D

[lukeisthecoolest]

wat i suggest (i took a course in GFX in HS;)):

fix the top left ear
fix the levels of light and contrast
showcase more on the dog's eye (brighter glow)
center the dog more in the center (the top is akwar)

other than that it is pretty good :)

wat type of photoshop? CS2? CS3? how much $$$$ cause i need to stop using paint.net and get a real GFX program

[elbarto241]

thanks for the tips :D cant really fix the ear with out rebuilding it cause the original photo chopped off the ear, lol. check you PMs

GIMP ftw!!!!!!! i actually prefer it to photoshop and if you want to just mess about with some stuff without spending a cent its the way to go

i used GIMP for a little but unless you have dual screen the layout it seems cluttered. although gimp has soem of the greatest scripts i have ever seen

Python FX FTW! (i think that is what it is called)
