Do you have other fonts and brushes? All your blends are beginning to look exactly alike. wink.gif They're all titled similarly too. It's, quite frankly, boring. You could be using Jeana, Lainy Day SH, Monika... All kinds of fab fonts, but you're staying in this... Saftey net of choices.
I gave you tons of links, it's not like you don't have means. So why is it that all your blends are so bland? The blending itself it nice, but it's no good if I don't remember it two minutes later and I'm not saying to myself "Holy wow, that was a wicked blend!".

please dear god stop blending.

they're ok. they're all ok. because you're not spending enough time on them. my blends end up with at least 50 layers on them. yea. 50. thats why im the so called 'blendmaster' *giggles*. haha. im not perfect either.

but honestly, go for originality and creativity. we all know you know how to blend. you dont have to make a blend every 5 minutes to prove it. spend some time on them. at least 30 min.

was that rude? i did say you could blend, btw. in case you missed that.

So that's why I'm not on your level! I only end up with 30-ish. Now that I know Michelle's secret, I shall take over! Okay, not really. I'll stick to my colourizing.

Fifteen is absolute minimum. You can't not spend a minute thinking over your font choices, title... Picture placement.

I don't make blends every 5 minutes I take time on my blends I'm not trying to prove to you that I can blend I just like to blend. I know most of my blends look the same but this one I made a bit different there is a different pattern no texture and no brush. Believe it or not I've only had this program for about a week. I can not become the master of blends in a week. I don't have a lot of brushes, patterns, textures, and etc yet. And I'm not the title queen. I'm not Ms.Creative either. Got any suggestions for titles for me? Make a list I'll be happy to use them. I'm working on making my blends a bit unique any tips blendmaster? Hmmm I've been trying to find some good brushes any suggestions?
I'm done now.

^ I'd give you brush suggestions if I knew what program you used.

I suggest that you use pictures that aren't like. the same. Like, you're always using the pictures from the same photoshoot. Try finding ones with different poses and maybe different outfits? I dunno, just different. Wow, I don't understand myself.. blink.gif

Actaully I think it's better to use pictures from the smae photoshoot so if I decide not to use a gradient it won't clash

i wasnt insulting you!
i did say, many times, that you can blend. that you're pretty good at it too. but now, you need to spend more time on them. you need to take a day out to download brushes, to find textures...
to change up your style. all of your blends look the same.
no need to get defensive.
blends should stand for something...

im not the 'blendmaster'. ive just been dubbed that by a few of my friends, because blending is my specialty. i tend to get worked up over blends that look like not a lot of effort was put into them.


well, im done. yawn.gif

I'm sorry I just went a little over board. It just annoys me that people assume that I've had this program for a while and know how to work it. I do put effort in my blends I just am not very creatove at the moment. Could you show me an example of one of your blends maybe? So i could try to be 'creative' I wouldn't copy your style I just would look at it for stuff that I could add to my blends

You took the words right out of my mouth. mellow.gif

You should look through the BBOR for more brushes and textures and all that stuff. Try something a little different.


Meh, I presonaly prefer different photoshoots since it adds a little more variety to the blends.

I agree with Insomniac. I took a look at most of your blends and they're like the same. This one's a little different though. You're good for someone who just downloaded psp. Take more time on your blends and you'll improve better flowers.gif.

You can't copy others creativity and ideas, FFS.
You have to develop your own.
I should copy and paste what I said in your last blend thread, in here.

.......
all your blends look the same!!!
try using different textures and brushes
and use a diferent colored font. and in most of your blends it looks like you don't give much thought to the positioning of them because all the picture posses look random. there has to be a certain flow when you blend....
for brushes and things check the BBOR

you can find a lot of things there for your program
