Erm. They aren't big pictures so you could use the image tags, you know. More convenient. :)

Well, IMHO, you could use quite a bit of work, eh? Some of them look like they hadn't had much work put into them besides a little resizing, recolouring and random filters. Right now they're a bit bland and there's not much visual appeal. Here's a tip, go take a look at the work of other people, compare their work to yours and try to decided for yourself what it needs. For starters, using neon-coloured text is not such a good idea. Actually, it is never a good idea. Like. Ever. :mellow:

I understand GIMP may not be as great to use as Photoshop, but there's still many things you can do with it. I recommend reading through some tutorials, they can be enormously helpful at times, especially for people new to the software. A lot of techniques used in Photoshop can be applied to the GIMP too, so keep that in mind.

Keep up the work, and don't dwell too much on what I say, okay? I'm just one person, in the end, it all comes down to you. There's an artist in everyone somewhere. You've just got to work to find it. :]

I'm being incredibly self-conscious with what I say because I don't want another incident like the Mistrust-incident. (Don't ask.) =D

Actually, GIMP rivals Photoshop in pretty much everything, as long as you don't plan on printing your works. Not that it matters to me, since I use photoshop anyway. > >

As far as the OP's work goes, I'm going to echo Method's comments. Don't worry though Medaji. Practice, practice, practice!
