Here are my thoughts. Warning: blatant honesty ahead.<br /><br />Fairy: your light sources are a mess. Be careful where the highlights and shadows are! Avoid Lens Flare: some see it as a cop-out. Also, the levels are off on the different elements causing things to not blend well. The birds in front of the moon make the scene too busy.<br /><br />Fantasy Kingdom: don't use low quality starter images. The pixelization kills this one. Also, what is that statue supposed to be- part of the wall or a figure in the foreground? It's too hard to tell. Same lighting/levels issues as before.<br /><br />Website manip: Photoshop brushes do not make a manip. I don't even count this as a manip as all you did was show 2 people's unrelated and poorly integrated clip arts with a few photoshop brushes slapped overtop. I wouldn't even post it here as it doesn't feel like a "real manip", just random images and photoshop brushes.<br>
The wolves: Again, the blending, lighting and levels are a mess. Lowering opacity does not fix this problem nor does tossing photoshop filters overtop. Stop relying on brushes and filters: they don't fix anything and look cheap to people who know what they are.
