Opinion/help with this wallpaper, The heart and background. Options

Here's the image:

I love patterns, which is why I used that as the background. The whole image started with the idea of something emerging from a broken heart, and then me finding this tutorial: Clickittt

Help? The bright white of the 'tentacles' doesn't quite fit. I should do something to the heart as well, but I just can't think of anything. Unless everyone just thinks it looks good like this.

WOW sorry, I messed up the thumb.

The tentacles need some fixing. And the glow around them needs to disappear.

That's just what I would do.

I was planning on going back and just redoing them completely, actually. Those were my first try at the tutorial. I just want to balance out the whole image so I don't do all that work with the tentacles and then give up in the end.

The tentacles are kind of disturbing looking at it. >__< It looks like worms coming out to eat your face or something xD. I think the shortest one should be fixed, and made longer. It looks weird because all the rest are extremely long. I think the wallpaper would actually look much better without the tentacles coming out of the heart. The black splats are okay. :). The only thing that makes it weird is the tentacles, but other than that, it's a okay wallpaper. :).

Oh, and don't double post, just edit your previous post please. :D.

Lollll that was the whole point of the entire wallpaper.

I wanted them to be disturbing...I just recently went through a lot with my mother not accepting my boyfriend...and it was a rough time, so this sprouted out of my imagination >=D

I guess I just need to match other disturbing things to it.

It's fine if you want things disturbing, but at least make it manageable so that it's not an eye sore looking at it. Sure there are tons of art with disturbing things, but they make them fit. It just doesn't work with the heart and the tentacles. Just try to play around and fix it so that all of the parts work together to make it look beautiful. :).

Alright!



Thank you all very much for the input. I'm gonna start from scratch with another broken heart. I'm going to try to represent the things I'm really feeling in it, I suppose.

And I promise I'll never double post again, i'm not really sure what I was thinking.

I felt this one seemed a little...violent? I couldn't see the correlation between emotions and octopus. But I look forward to seeing your next work.
