Madwand's Mad Photo Manipulation

I figured I'd start up a thread over here for some of my photo-editing work. Nothing too fancy, but I enjoy seeing what others think.

Let's start with some forum signatures:












And some random graphics:












Not going to link this last one directly here, as I realized that it may be considered loli by some. However, I am rather proud of this one. I'm not a big fan of loli at all, but I don't need everything ecchi to be large unrealistic curves either.
Water Nymph

don't ya think Mad is exaggerating it bit too much?

I see what you did there.

@Madwand: Hmm, I guess they're okay, but I don't see anything that catches my eye.
Keep practicing though!

no u don't lol


but hmmm first and last caught my attention so those 2 were pretty good

Never said I was an expert at this stuff. Heh. In fact most of this stuff is years old. My newest of those posted would be the very first one there with Luffy from One Piece. I think it's quite a bit of an improvement over some of my early stuff like the 'heart girl' image that was made the very first day I started using gimp.

Hmm, yeah, the difference is certainly visible between Heart girl and the rest. In that case it's interesting to note your progress. The Reddish pink colour is a bit excessive/aggravating on that Luffy one. You might consider adding in another complementary colour or just changing it altogether.

nvr said u were either lol
