The wounds look very realistic to me. You need to do some clean up work around the guy and the front terrain is too straight edged particulary on the right hand side and more BLOOD![e digicons]
My God woman, that is a serious head wound that dude has there! It would be helpful to be able to view the actual size but from what I can see iit is quite gruesome and I assume that is what you are aiming for! I was not so much speaking in regards to myself about the lack of participation, but in general to the lack of works posted and comments in general. I know I am not going to win any popularity contests
Way to go Steve. Well deserved spotlight shining down on you. Keep on keeping on![e digicons]:meow:[/e] [e digicons]
You know, at the risk of making some enemies, and God knows I have enough, I have to say that I am extremely disappointed in the lack of participation in this thread. You would think that with all of the hoopla over the quality of what is being offered in the gallery the community would join together and try to offer good critical advice and that more folks would have utilized this opportunity to get or give help. As I look through the gallery today, I see
Thanks to all for the technical advice in making my wall a sucess! I learned some stuff.[e digicons]
Congrats to all the pickees and especially to Gary who puts his heart into everything he does![e digicons]:meow:[/e] Great show~

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="76" id="2811460"] Better or not? Much. Have you thought of thinning the bush/tree to the left of the house? Just a thought. [/quote] Well no, I actually had to thicken it because seeing so much sky through the tree reduced the effect of darkness in the image. At one point I had completely removed it but that didn't work out too well!
[quote who="Uvah" reply="73" id="2811439"]My laptop, which is what I'm using to create the wall is 1366x768, a small wide screen. I tend to look at dark and gloomy and for some reason think that color in a wall like these are well not keeping with the spirit of the holiday, if that makes any sense. I'm going to scrap the wall and start off like you said. I hadn't really given any thought to going big first and working down. I always thought the opposite. But, that's the whole reason for this
[quote who="JuniorCrooks" reply="104" id="2811055"]Hey Frankief I took no offence to it. On the contrary I was happy you made me realize my neglect. Thank you for the karma too. One good turn deserves another. [/quote] Happy to have initiated you into the Karma Club! I think I don't have much because I have such a charming personality![e digicons]:meow:[/e]
Have made some changes per some suggestions via PM. Better or not?
[quote who="JuniorCrooks" reply="101" id="2811029"]What does that mean Frankief? Give what karma? If that is what you mean then you are correct. I am guilty of not giving any but truthfully I was not sure I could. I am only an apprentice and thought that was something only people with more privileges can partake in. I guess I need to do my homework more. Thank you for pointing that out to me. [/quote] I was kidding Silly but I
[quote who="JuniorCrooks" reply="99" id="2811012"]I am not new here but I can't even seem to buy some of this useless karma [/quote] Maybe you have to give before you get?[e digicons]:meow:[/e]
Now you have a brown halo on the tree. The tutorial will tell you how to avoid this. Another thought would be to use a nice cloud brush behind your tree to give it definition. Clouds look more realistic if you do two or three layers and invert the bottom layer. At this time of year the ground cover should really be more brownish than green. You also will need some adjustments along the tree bottoms on the right.
[quote who="Uvah" reply="60" id="2810816"]Here's where I'm at with a new background. Suggestions please. I opted for different trees, one of the brushes Po sent my way. Reduced 42% Original 1280 x 1024 I'm not sure of the creepy tree though. If I can change the color to a darkish brown it might work better. As it is it blends too much into the background. [/quote] Uvah, there are many ways to color brush
[quote who="WebGizmos" reply="55" id="2810427"] Thanks Steve and I am still waiting on your perspective on the perspective of the skulls and skeletons! Frankie....if you still have all the parts you used for that wall send them along and I'll give it a shot for you. You can send them to [email protected] [/quote] That PSD is 73 mgbs! I don't think MSN will let me mail something that big![e digicons]X([/e]
Okay, so here is where I am at now.
I would move the structure back and make it smaller. Its hard to tell with such a small preview!
[quote who="WebGizmos" reply="45" id="2810339"] This is a Halloween wall I have been messing with for a while. Any input would be appreciated. That one looks cool! [/quote] Thanks Steve and I am still waiting on your perspective on the perspective of the skulls and skeletons!
Uvah, did you find some better bats? Midnights Touch has some really good realistic ones here: http://midnightstouch.deviantart.com/gallery/#/dnz1u4
[quote who="teddybearcholla" reply="40" id="2810313"]Thank you Frankie, I'm not sure, but in case not, the link could be helpful!! [/quote] http://nhuval-stock.deviantart.com/gallery/#Old-Houses [e digicons]
[quote who="teddybearcholla" reply="35" id="2810292"] Teddy...I think if you added some sort of structure...such as an old house or something along those lines in that empty background area it might add to the wall...I think thats whats missing...that background area looks a bit to empty. I here you WG, it seems a consensus about the *empty space*!! I'll see what I can do with it and the ghosties!!! Thank you all for your ideas on my wip!!! 
[quote who="PoSmedley" reply="31" id="2810273"]Lose the vulture. Frankief, one of your wallpapers is the only...ONLY one my wife has ever had on her desktop when she isn't running the USC Gamecocks theme. And my wife is P-I-C-K-Y. If she was a mod here, we'd all be in freakin trouble. She doesn't even use MY wallpapers. [/quote] LOL, she must have very good taste! Obviously the vulture by all consensus is history!
LOL, but Karen, I've grown so fond of those ghosts over the last three weeks! Kidding. Quick question though. If I make some of the suggested changes and want to repost the image can I replace the other one or do I need to do a completely new one? Sorry to be so dense.[e digicons]:inlove:[/e] Oh and thank you all for your suggestions. Having some difficulty getting grass to show for the skull behind the mist.
Sorry, I've never done this include image thing before. This is a Halloween wall I have been messing with for a while. Any input would be appreciated.[e digicons]:meow:[/e] Time is getting short.
