i like the avatars. i think i like the one thats in blue because it makes it seem more mysterious, i guess. i can't find a word for it, lol.

and i like what you did what the tree too. you made it look all dark and it almost gives bad vibes. if i make any sense at all. lol.

[MissHygienic]

The colored version of the train tracks is much better than the blue version. There's little contrast in the first one, so I much prefer the color one. I also prefer the color version of the tree. . .sorry. I'm not really sure what you want as feedback.

I like the blue avatar, its nicer on my thoughts LOL and the tree seems dead after the retouch, and sort of gives a bad vibe like aaayotiffany said :]

i think i was trying to say it seems more dead. thanks, lol. i couldn't find what i was trying to say.

blue rainy version of tree: by having the background so dark that the silhouette is barely visible, you kind of defeat the purpose of using a silhouette. also I couldn't tell there was rain until I read the url

ur welcome

hm I was thinking you could improve the blue version of the tree picture by maybe putting a moon in there and using moonlight to give the silhouette some depth/color/lighting, a bit of silver could really add some feeling to the picture, just a suggestion

Just because the url says rainy tree doesn't mean there's rain in it.

i kind of agree with doiink, it would look cooler with the silver.

emberfly, did you notice that if you look closely at your picture, it has a diagonal texture lol. I thought that was your "rain" and was just saying that it wasn't very apparent.

and how am I supposed to know that it wasn't meant to be rainy, you NAMED it rainy tree. using logic, one would assume that by titling it "rainy" tree, the title is supposed to reflect the picture. I just assumed that that's what you were trying to show in your picture. guess not.

oo I didnt even notice that texture until you pointed it out

yes. that would be the rain it was named after XD.. I was only saying I could have named it happy clown... doesn't mean it would actually be a happy clown.

then wtf is that about? honestly why tell me that when it turns out you really did name it rainy tree for that reason. looool

okay thanks for editing. so in response to your edit, well you named it rainy tree, not happy clown. rainy tree is something that seems related to your picture, so I assumed it was supposed to accurately depict the picture.

the point is then, are you trying to keep the rain subtle?

[emberfly]

yes. Do you think it would look better if it was more visible? Actually, to begin with, I wanted it to have very visible, animated rain, but then I decided it would be bad for a layout to have it animated, so I went with a subtle, stationary rain. Though, I agree, you can barely tell it's there.

I like the uncolored version of the avatar; the blue one looks kind of monotonous and boring. Plus I like the color of the sky in the uncolored version, and the yellow-orange bit at the horizon.

I kind of like the original version of the tree more; the colors make it more interesting. I don't think your retouched version is bad, though, it's just kind of like.... okay, what's next? I like the moon idea, and I just think if you did more to it, had a certain theme you wanted to work towards, it'd be more interesting. I think that after you've done that, whether or not you make the rain animated won't add or take away very much from the overall graphic. Animated rain is cool, but it can also get boring after a while. If you're willing to do something like animated lightning, though, that'd be awesome. XD

[Okay, I'll shut up now. Sorry for the lecture. >_<]

[emberfly]

new one :)

[Relentless]

^ LOL. Is that suppose to be a good thing or a bad thing? =X

TBH, I prefer the originals than your edited version. Probably because it has more contrast and it's vibrant. I don't know, but it just looks like you just colorize the whole picture as blue. o.O

[synatribe]

You're the next IVIiKe D:
