Ups, I submit to gallery instead to open a post here (sorry, sorry!).
Oki, this is my first wall, tell me about your impressions!

here's the link

It looks like you just slap 2 scans on a bg.
Try blending they in more.

Wooow! For a first wall, I can say I was amazed! It's nice, even at the start! :D

Anyways, I think Gaara looks a bit noisy. I don't know if it's the effect. Anyways, if you could clean it a bit.

The black outline around the characters is too visible and kinda strikes out. Blend it with the nice background! Try varying the opacity if the outlines.

Naruto looks good on the branch, but Gaara seems a bit too big. Just a bit. Look at his right foot. It looks kind of out of the branch. A bit of shrinking would do.

Anyways, congrats on the good work! When you submit, I'll make sure to get it. I like the mood in this wall! And the colouring style.. Nice! How did you do that BTW? Filters? Stock pic manip?

Many thanks for the critics.

@infinityrulz
I've removed the noisy effect in gaara figure (more smart blur on it) and i've shrinked it in the same manner. Thanks for congratulations :)
ps: ehm, what's BTW? (sorry! i really don't know)

Ups, I forgot the link.

ps: i've corrected the naruto's and gaara's hair, tell me about it!

;)

Wow you went a bit too far with Gaara's hair. The rest is good, but not the hair. Revert just that part. The shrinking is good too. Thanks for considering my comments.

BTW = By The Way..

I wanted to know how you did the background. Explain the process, even briefly would be good.

Ok, I was a little shocked seeing the wall. First, because it looked like you just added the scans there, you did not blend the charactes well, and also there is a black outline around gaara and naruto except in the head part, sorry but it looks weird. You should add an outline around the whole character.

The characters doesn't look like they are part of the bg, so you should blend them well. The bg looks like it is painted, so why not make the scan like a painted effect to blend them well.^^

I hope this helps, and good luck for this wall.^^

Myangelnoli's idea seems good. A painted effect on the characters would be great!

Mmm okkay, I'll try to blending with a painting fusion (when I'll reboot on windows sistem).
For the backgroud I've used an artistic filter, but I don't remember what kind of filter was, either the configuration used.

I'll modify the hair too, it was a very experimental feature!

-try to blend the characters in the BG...
-change the color of the sand guy cause he gets all the attention and spoils the wall too...

Okkay, I'll try to blend, I hope the result is acceptable!
Here's the link.

Still think it's kinda bad quality,i mean the scans...

Sorry to say that but compared to the new version, the scans in the first version were a lot better. The new version's characters are kinda pixellated with dark dots everywhere. Try to see if you could do something about that.

And try swapping Naruto with Gaara. Cuz Naruto is blending with the green background too much. Just try and see and revert if it looks bad.

Anyways, don't desperate pal. We are just suggesting things here. I know you are doing lots of changes because of us, but perseverate. This wall has a good future.

I think the filters you used, destroy the wall. The blurs, and all the noise, they do nothing but make the wall look bad in quality. Another little thing, why the one color? (As in Gaara and Naruto) try using full color, usually looks nicer. And when you take all those filters off, Im sure people could help you more. When I make walls, I dont use filters, only some blur filters here and there. Walls with tons of filters usually arent too appealing unless you use them correctly. Also, a little hint, if the scans look low quality after taking filters off, try using a texture. You can get some here, I usually use a parchment or fabric like textures.

If you dont know how to use textures, what you do is, (Ill tell you how to use it with Photoshop.) You go to file>place> and find your texture file> and press okay. Then your texture picture will become its own layer, youll probably have to resize it to fit your entire wall, so do that, and then it usually covers up your whole wall so you wont see anything except the texture, then you mess with the opacity settings, it works best to use in the 10-20% area. If you have any questions dont hesitate to pm me. I probably wont be back on this SZ too often.

I think scans could be a little better. Try some renders.
