^I do agree about too many images and it gets really crowded. Sometimes a little more space is good.

They look good. It's just that on some of them, you overdue the texture/brush/etc. making the blending look weird. Like the Jessica Simpson, Justin Timberlake, and Christina Aguilera.

The Lindsey Lohan blend is my FAVORITE because I love the pink on top and the Justin Timberlake blend looks nice also but I don't like the lines for some reason. The Pete Wentz is good, I like the stripes. The last one I think should have a border around it.
Reason for edit: P.S. I think the second Jessica Simpson blend is sort of too dark, and it needs a border.

I second Relentless' comment.
The first Ashlee one is my favorite, but the font... While it is a fun font, the way it's used doesn't look professional. There's too much space between the lines of text and it just doesn't flow with the blend/texture.

The Avril one has lots of potential. A different font, smaller font size for the lyrics, and some more brush work/textures.

The second Ashlee one doesn't make sense. Some of it's grayscale, some of it is full color. I don't think the texture works with that image. The font does not match at all. Color, drop shadow, or face.

I think you should focus on making the fonts work with the blends. On the JLo one, the "hold it..." drop shadow's distance is too far off from the text, and the font is thin, so the drop shadow probably shouldn't be so opaque. The "JLo" text doesn't even have a drop shadow, though. Consistency is good.

The font you used for "Jessica Simpson" / "Christina Aggi" is not the right size or color in any of the images. A different anti-aliasing method may help that, too.

sorry I wrote a novel :/

Agreed. I think you leave just a little too much of the patterns on the images at times...
I really liked the really bright Pete Wentz, Avril Lavigne and the Lindsay Lohan one is HoTT.

I definitely see improvement from the first one of yours I saw... thumbsup.gif

i agree with everyone. You have gotten much better. I think soemtimes you use too many brushes, and too many image, but on the flip side i love the font you used for the first pete wentz one thumbsup.gif

You definitely made an effort to give your blends a different look. Generally, I liked your Avril, Ashlee, and Pete ones. The rock feel is nice and the overall appearance is pretty good. However, like others said, there's a lot going on and you tend to over do it with your textures/brushes a bit. In the Avril one (which is my favorite), it's pretty simple although the color splotches should be rethinked.

In the smaller Ashlee blend, I don't really like the black&white blended with the color. The effect doesn't really work for me. Same thing for one of the Jessica Simpson ones.

Something you should work on is flow. In the Justin Timberlake one, his huge face has green spaces of the background between it and the two images beside it. In the first Pete one, in the blend of two images, you have a faded face with an elbow in it. While it's not that big of a deal, it doesn't look right and isn't fluid.

Overall, it like the style you have developed for the rockish ones and there is a lot of potential for them to become great blends. Keep up the good work and keep on practicing.
