Alright, I'm bored so I just started playing with this picture of Manny from Degrassi-do you have any ideas on what I could add to it? I have a lot of brushes, and fonts. so you can use those as a specific thing.
((Sorry if this isn't in the right section))

What brushes/text should I add or should i keep it how it is?

The cutting is horrible. I'd add a texture, #7 from Aethereality to be specific. A gradient perhaps? Oxoniensis-Art&crumblingwalls have some beautiful ones.
As for brushes, I adore the ones from 77words... The textures too. =3 Yeah.

^ She just stole every good link I have! =0

I'd really reallu really get rid of that white border line thing you've got going.

^ But... But... That's not even the start! There's Imagination, The Blooming Effect, teh-indy, 44suburbia, 23outlet....

=X I collect bookmarks. The list goes on and on. The ones I gave were more for... This particular image.

Don`t really like the white line.It`s nice though.Love the background.

Soooo off topic. But damn I love


Yeah, you need to do away with the white border. Cutting can be a grueling task. Are you able to try feathering until you've practiced a bit more? That might help. The pattern is ok to start with, but I would add some more textures and brushes (hell, fishcake-y gave you a number of amazing sites to go to). It's me, I know - but regardless of the color of my sig at present, I don't care to much for pink. Maybe try a different hue all together?

It's a nice start. =)

I didn't do the border on purpose.
It was a PSD and i used the magic wand to put in the background
i'm working on a new one now though

and what kind of brsuhes do you guys suggest?

If it was a psd then why was there a background at all?
Psd's are in psd format so the background can be transparent.

^I added a background b/c i wanted it to be that way

i like everything except for the white of the hair..i like the second one..the colors r very nice
