Was this usually pinned? I don't remember...Oh well if it's not.

1. Really pretty colors. I was never a big fan of the conjoined twin-esque blending, but that aside, it's pretty.

2. It's nice and clean, but it's really simple. It could use a bit more oomph.

3. Really good blending and colors, but the image quality is really low.

4. This isn't really what I think of when I think about blends. It's more of a photo manipulation IMO.

5. REALLY nice. I think it's obvious who did this one, haha.

6. The images could be spaced farther apart, and her elbow looks chopped off in the middle picture.

7. Good blending, but I hate Owen Wilson...and splat brushes. That's my own personal problem, though.

8. Blending is really clean, but the image effects ruin it for me.

I'll probally critique them tomorrow but for now, I really like 1, 3, and 9. Some are a bit basic like 2, 7, and 8. Otherwise, they're all pretty nice.

EDIT: Oh, I didn't see that you added numbers. The numbers I specified above are relating to the order that they were posted.

[Maccabee]

My faves are 1 and 3!
And worst are 2 and 6 cause it looks badly cut. They need new techniques for cutting things out of an image.
4 has odd places cut off.
Technically i'd say 5 is the best but I just dont like the style. But it was done extremely well!
Not digging the brushes or lines on number 7 but without it, it would be plain so...
8 is just kinda weird and plainish.
I like number 9 but a little too much fading was used. It takes skill to do a blend that has hard edges that look good then a blended, smudged mess. But my fave theme.

1: I like it, but I think there's too much texture over the face in the center. For some reason I think it would look a lot better if the center face was the focal point with some strong, darker colour.

2: Nice blending, but I don't like how two of the same images are repeated and the rest aren't. It seems weird.

3: I love this, but like Gabi said, the image quality is very low.

4: I know this is a blend but it doesn't seem like it. If I saw this without knowing it was a blend, I'd say someone created the entire image at once. I like it though.

5: I love the blending and colours and everything here, but I don't like the font used for the quote. Imo, it doesn't match. I know, it's a small detail, but still.

6: Elbows look strange, and it looks like whoever did this tried to hide the messy edges by applying some circular blurring (forgot what the actual name is lol) around the images. Besides that, the composition isn't very interesting and it's rather plain.

7: Looks like good blending, but the splotches and sun ray vectors (is that what they're called?) don't match, imo. They don't match with each other, and they don't match with the hallway (they look flat while the hallway is more 3D looking). Sorry I can't explain better.

8: Decent blending. I don't like how the texture is completely behind the images except for that one thumb. It really bothers me. Seriously.

9: This is beautiful blending, but I don't like the center of the image for some reason. I can't put my finger on it. I'll edit later if I figure it out.

Good job guys *sigh; I wish I had remembered to put something together. Too much homework this week to do any design work QQ

[manny-the-dino]

Oh. My. God. I feel like such a noob when I look at the blend I was doing & then look at these.


1) I really like how your blends meet at the center; very cool. I love the colors too. I'm just not sure about some of the textures.

2) The blending is really trippy. I like it. I would have added something to it though. Looks a tad plain.

3) This is orgasmic. I love it. Adrianna's hot, the colors go well together, & I just love it. Fabulous.

4) This is really cool. I love the outcome. The glow's a bit weird though.

5) Ohh this is trippy too. I like what you did with her eyes. I'm not sure about the top image of her since it's just floating there. But it's still very nice.

6) You could have picked better images because her pants have a pattern on them & blending patterns doesn't really come out good. This one's a bit plain too.

7) The blending looks great I'm just not so sure about the textures & brushes you used.

8) You should have used the same image, imo. Meaning he has the same clothes on & all that. The blending is good I'm just not really feeling the effects you did.

9) Dude the blending is awesome! I love it. And the outcome is great!



I think I have an idea of who made what haha. But overall, nice job, guys.

1, 3, and 9 are wayyy awesome! 2 is really pretty, also. I am going to have to say one is my favorite is 1.

I can only guess whos 2 of them are. I know which ones Gabi's because she didn't critique it, and I thiiink 4 is Josephs?

1. The colors are nice, and the texture is cool. The font used for the name is kinda off from the retro feel of the graphic, Nice blend overall my personal fav.

2. I like the color, and the smoothness of the graphic, a good example that you can still have a good blend with it being simple.

3. This is probably best in the round, however, due to the grainy quality on the model, and a slight overuse of brushes, it's a little overdone.

4. I do appreciate that you were the only participant that did a blend that was not on people. So bravo to you.

5. I like this one, it just seems like it's not really a blend, because, as all the pictures are in distinct locations, and they are made to fit the background.

6. There are a lot of obvious edges in the picture, the skirt in the picture has a pattern that continues across the entire width of the image and does not look good. The radial blur was the only effect on the graphic, try experimenting with other textures and brushes.

7. It all looks too "this here, and that there" pre-planning. The ray effect is right beneath one of his hands, and a few of the other brushes were used in distinct locations.

8. The graphic itself could be better, to me, the pictures ruin it, because they're all the same (almost) each of them is from the waist up, and it's a guy posing. I don't think the background does anything for the picture.

9. A very good blend, I don't see any signs of where something was added in, it almost looks like that was an actual photograph, but the odds of twins looking that alike are unlikely. It looks good.

[hypnotique]

1,3,5 were the best.

The others looked like your basic blends that one would find in someones signature on a internet forum.

[markmejia]

1. Kinda like it, mostly cause of the colors. But I don't like the cursive font; doesn't match at all.

2. Clean, but not as appealing as it could be. :/

3. I'd select this as the best one, but I, for some reason, have an attraction to color contrast, which it doesn't have.

4. I guess this blend is more of a photo-manip. But yeah, the blending -- particularly with the building -- is a little sloppy.

5. Nice. But, only personally, it isn't something that catches my eye at all.

6. Srsly?

7. Mm, it just has that amateur vibe. :[

8. Same as #7. And too glowy. Colors and contrast aren't too appealing.

9. I was also considering this one as the best, but decided it wasn't as creative as #3. It's certainly very clean and simple, and I love the neon purple and pink in it. But just now.. I realized the two images of the blonde girl are horizontal-flips, haha.

But then again, I'm not a blend type of person. ^__^

[Insurmountable]

3 - best

[Firiath]

I'm not gonna say which ones mine
But I have to agree with everybody who said stuff about it xD
I did it in basically 5 minutes when I was really tired and was supposed to be packing for Philippines ._."

[Maccabee]

I bet I know which one yours is.

[Firiath]

I bet I know which one yours is.

If you're thinking it's the Selena Gomez one, go fall in a hole >.>
