The left side looks all wonky. And you should probably turn down the saturation.

[Mikeplyts]

Yeah, I agree with TJ and Abbey. It looks a bit too 'bright' so you should tone that down a bit. Oh, and if you're thinking of text to use, you should probally try a font that is sort of cursive or something

[Maccabee]

I agree with the cursive, and i also agree on the lighting but how else would he achieve that effect? Cause he wants her to look like an angle kinda...haha

[none345678]

I don't see any font. wtf. O and I like how the eyes look.

[shakeene]

the angle thing is what im going for, hah.
& this is the only scripty font i have, any recomnds?

Ooo, I think that font looks nice but maybe it would look better if the "A" was closer to the "E". If you're using Photoshop, you can just highlight the "A" and "E" and open up the text window. Then, just adjust the kerning of those two letters. (To make it closer, make the numbers negative.) Also, the left eye looks a bit too dark and it's kind of hard to see her eye which is wierd because she has this big, bright eye and then a 'small', dark eye so yeah...

mkay i have the type done but how would i lighten the eye?

[Mikeplyts]

Well you could try making a selection around that dark eye area and then use the Dodge Tool to lighten it up or you could also make a selection around the dark eye area and go to Edit>Adjustments>Levels. Then, mess around with those settings until it looks a bit lighter.

Having that heavy of saturation darkens the already dark spots. Lighten up on the saturation, it will help

Or you could try that. Although, that may not be the best option to him because he wants to give it an "angel" effect. Oh, and Shawn, you do know that there are other ways of making an "angel" effect besides just upping the saturation, right?

[shakeene]

no i don't ha

elaborate kind sir?

[Mikeplyts]

It just looks darker now...

EDIT: Oh, I didn't see you edit your post. :p

[none345678]

Uping the saturation and adding a blur effect is nothing but a very amateur effect that bitches use to cover up acne. You should only use it in very little moderation.

she had perfect skin...

[Mikeplyts]

You could also try duplicating the orginal image layer and then set it to Overlay. Flatten the layers and duplicate it once more but this time go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur and the settings should be around 4-5 pixels. Set that blurred layer to Lighten. Duplicate the blurred layer and set that layer to Screen. Flatten the image and you should have an "angel" effect.

[none345678]

Ummm. Focus more on the amateur part than the acne part.

[markmejia]

I thought you digi-painted this.

[LittleMissSunshi...]

i don't like how one eye is missing lol

It's not actually missing, it's just really dark.

[manny-the-dino]

Wait what is this for? just a random graphic? I think her eye is too hidden/dark. And I'm not really feeling the font, tbh. I think a cursive/script one would look better.
