13. GIMP. I've been making graphics longer, but still. HI THERE. I'm thirteen and use GIMP, too! :D

I like your stuff, you've got a great start! I love the blending on this one the most~!

I'd like to see some more stuff soon. :)

awwww... thank you! <3333

and feliciano is bamf. jsyk. c:

You're welcome!

I know, right? But I love Alfred, Arthur and Gilbert most~ I'm making something HetaOni next, methinks. :)

I love the edging you do on some of these. Thumbs up.

@vizored: when you do, pleasepleaseplease show me! <33

@LJblack: aww, that's encouraging! thank you so much for the feedback! <3

i suggest you work on making text look more fancy and attractive and adding some live into it more with textures and stock

there are many gimp tutorials
did you try out some yet? (:

@SD: oooh... i think i shall! thanks for the critique!

updated with a couple of things! c:

added a couple of signatures, icons, aaand a recolourization.

cleared a couple of old siggies.

added a couple of siggies & icons! c:

Hi Rora! I'm Sabrina, and I'm just stopping by to say I really like your gallery. I think with a little work on basics, your graphics will go far! Just watch your edge blending a bit, and perhaps try some bright colorings on a few signs; it'll work wonders. <3

thanks for the tips, sabrina! i'll definitely try and take care of my blending a little, 'cause i've always found it really difficult to make the edges all smooth. anyways, i'll keep trying! c:

Hey I'm Sky and I'm here to pimp <3
I think that you show potential to go far, once you've got the basics down.
Don't worry too much, everyone was there once and it wont take you long to improve :D
I think the main thing to work on here is text.
Try not to let it go over the model's face, like here and just experiment with the best positions to put it, so that it flows with the rest of your piece.
Other than that, your blending is good and so is your positioning of models.
This is simply beautiful :D
Just keep experimenting and improving will become easy. :D
<3
(Extra hint: Try using texture + stocks in a piece and colouring. I remember when someone gave that advice to me and it helped lots, <3)

thank you, sky! <3
sorry i didn't see; i haven't had a chance to make that many graphics for a few weeks! <3

added a blend. :D

I don't have much to say, oh and I'm here to pimp :)

Your graphics are really basic, lack of coloring, blended very simple, so I'd suggest some blending tutorials to help you get up the ladder :)
Try using ONLY texture, and no stock, or stock AND texture, some PSD's or your own coloring. (:

Hey Rora! I'm Naomi <3 I just wanted to drop in and give ya a friendly comment! I think you've got a great handle on colorizations...since I've yet to do any myself XD Other than that, I like your blending. I agree with some of the other peeps who've commented about the text, though. On one of the signatures the text is sort of lost in the graphic. I've been told the same thing about some of my things ^_^ Great work though! I'll be looking forward to checking back here to see whatever else you make!

Wow, your colorizes are flawless <3 I wish I could colorize... I tried a few times, also with tutorials, but I still suck. I guess I'll never be great at it D; But okay, I enjoy making other graphics haha.
Can't wait to see more <3

;; IN MY VEINS - thanks for the tips! :D

alltimedisaster - thanks so much, naomi! <3

chopsuey - oooh my goodness... thank you so much! and actually, those are retouches. xP but anyways, thank you for the compliments! <3

updated with a banner! :3

Hey there Rora! I'm Sabrina, I don't know if we've yet met. (: But I saw you were the last person to pimp in the pimp my gallery thread and was like OPPORTUNITY. So here I am to pimp.

Composition wise your signatures are getting better, you're understanding size and spacing a lot more in your most recent 2. Still strive to pick more high quality photos, because you're still on the fence. And it doesn't matter how great of composition you make, if you have low quality photos you'll be forever trapped in Blooming-Promising.
Another thing to start to work on is text. Try not to make it so huge and take up tons of space. Take a look at some galleries in the Talented-Famous-Legend sections and see how they layout text, and then try it like them. (:

Lovely banner you have! Although it's not the best choice to place something like a clock on the far side of a banner, because a clock takes away from the focal point. Also try not to have huge drop shadows and strokes on your text. ;)

Lovely blends! They're very basic but that's okay! Still work on even higher quality photos on these. And much like your text in your banner, watch the styling you put on it. <3

You've got a lovely gallery, just keep working on image quality and your text. Eventually you'll have to work on more complex compositions, because right now you have a lot of model + base, but for now keep working on the basics. <3 I'll be back soon! I hope you applied for promos -- good luck if you did!

awwww, thank you sabrina! <3 i'm glad to know that i'm improving, somewhat. :D

added another blend. xD
i love making them so blimming much.

Hello Roro I'm here to pimp :)
since you've been to my gallery I came to yours to have a look and I must say you have some lovely stuff in there :)
Love your colourings they're awesome <3 and you have a very good grasp on blending ;)
Guess you and I have a problem with text lol

Anyway keep it up hun :)

hey there christina! <3 and yes, text equals the thorn in the rose. FINALLY, someone who understands! xD thank you so much for stopping by! <3

You're welcome hun :)

hi! im birgitte and i'm here to pimp c: - first of all you have a lovely start. i really like that you're experimenting with different textures but also animations. what i suggest is just keep working on it really - you'll get far c:

Hello Rora I'm here to pimp... again lol

I looooooooooooooooooove Your signatures!!! <3 the colouring
and the blending are awesome <3
Love the banner as well nice colouring and blending but I think the big text doesn't quite fit in... Maybe if it was smaller or of a different colour it would have been great
Your blends are super great. Love the 2nd one best <3
I looooooooooooove your icons <3<3 the cropping on them are awesome and the colourings are great!!

I'm loving your gallery :) You'll see me around here often lol

birgitte: thank you sooo much. thank you for stopping by. <3

christina: awwww, thank you again christina! <3

updated with... stuff. :P

Hello Rora me again here to pimp and it will be a small pimp lol

Still loving your gallery hun and you've made lots of progress ;) Keep it up and soon you'll be better than ever :)

<3

christina: awww, thank you! <3 to hear that i'm improving coming from someone else, it means a lot! :3

Your gallery is very pretty!
THIS is lovely, although the text is a bit harsh for me with that color and stroke.

The only thing: make more! :)

rhaena: thank youuu. <3

Why hello there Rora!
I do believe this is my first post in your gallery?!
Well, I'm here to pimp my deary! ♥
You're soooo young! *feels sooo old*
I hope that sooner or later you don't get creeped out by any kind of graphic!

ICONS

You show great placement! I think your composition in your icons is actually really strong! Which makes me jealous of you! LOL. I think that You should definitely keep making more sets. The only thing I'd say is to try to get continuality. Coloring wise mostly. You seem to have a good theme in your icons, just the colors don't always seem to connect them all. So definitely keep making more! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

SIGS

Ooo, so many wonderful sigs! And Varied too! That's awesome! Your coloring is nice and strong through the sigs you have posted, and I love how bright and colorful they are. Your text is amazing! I really love the animated sig as well! Just make sure you vary your placements like you do in your icons. They're all in similar spots, I do this all the time, i have to literally make sure they don't match up half the time! lmao. Just keep making sigs! You're improving so much!

COLORINGS

Not much I can say but they're gorgeous!

BANNER

ONE?! Make more chica! I really wanna see em! AND you watch GoT? At 13? Dang, I wasn't even allowed to watch the Simpson's at 13, lol. But yay, GoT is awesome! I love that you took a vibrant stance with that coloring too! It's super vibrant. The only thing that bugs me about the banner is the text, i think it's the sub that bothers me. They're too... winged? Or tilted? Idk, but there's just something about it. lol.

BLENDS

Your blends are good. I'd love to see you take more risks though, add some stocks here, more texture there. They're very nicely composed model wise, just need to keep experimenting now with stocks and flow. Text is good, love the way you did the Strangness and Charm one! :) Watch your cutting/masking. The KG one's hair's a bit too slim for her face and it looks odd. Make sure you cut with the image and not take much away from it.

OVERALL

Great gallery! You show so much potential, and I can't wait to see how many amazing graphics you're going to create! Definitely before next promo make more icons, banners, and blends! I think sigs you're good on, at least in my opinion. You got a stalker now my dear! Keep up the awesomeness!

Sammy: awww, thank you so much! <3 seriously... i just want to thank you for even stopping by my gallery! <3

added a banner & an icon set.

Rora!<3 I am here to pimp! I know i have told you this on PW but i serious still mean this your icons give me so much inspiration. You also have some really good blending in your signatures, banners, and blends. your colors are very nice as well all of your pieces they all flow very nice and look just great! You coloring's look very nice as well they look natural but you can still tell that you spent time and put the color on them! I love your pieces and your gallery still gives me a lot of inspiration.

-Brooke

brooke: thank youuu, dearie! <3

Le me just scrolling through aspiring galleries. Le me has spotted yours! Le me has looked through your fantabulous gallery. Le me has noticed your colorizations. Le me has dropped my jaw. Omfg they're so perfect. That's all I have to say. <3

I LOVE YOUR NAME, OKAY.

Taylor: aww... thankies, dearie! <3

HI
i'm birgitte and i'm here to pimp c:

first of all it's great to see that you have so many different graphics; it takes skills to be able to actually do all those different stuff. my advice for you is to be careful with your blending, especially with your models - like in the shay mitchell where she doesn't really look like she's ~blending with her background; it looks a bit off. also working more with coloring your stuff, because you definitely have blending and working with stocks/textures down - it's just that you need to work a bit more with coloring your things.

other than that, well done - can't wait to see more c:
