Valentine's needs a touch more evil.

And a tin foil hat.

So i thought i have a bit of little fun, i started at the top with a few things, and i would like you do tell me what i should continue with..

I like this idea.. but you are creative on your own. I did however come across a few images that I found that maybe you could use..I am unsure. I was going to do a Mario "ghost/skelli" themed avatar.. but maybe you could use them in a better way.. I am working on a "mushy" valentines themed avatar, which I am finding very challenging (stupid mushy valentines!)









hopefully you can use these..sorry if they are big ..I didn't resize..

Barring something huge to prevent it, there WILL be a Valentine's contest!!

My only input: don't go straight down the middle. You need it to draw the eyes back and forth, in a pleasant manner, across the image.

I love mario. I owned the first NES when it came out, and sunk untold hours into mario and mike tysons punch out. Broke my first knuckle when I finally beat Tyson. Jumped up all excited and put my hand in the ceiling fan. Killed the excitement pretty quickly.

and another version for fun

i'm all confused now about the meaning of st.valentines, trying to wrap my head around being a bad boy



this was my first version (illustrating herewith my confusion)

Thank you! I like the one you're wearing. I can't really do layers like that yet.
Been meaning to tell you that I really enjoy the avatars you make...was impressed with the ones you made for the Christmas contest. My two favorites here and here. I can't do pretty ones like that...don't have it in me. But you create/make them very beautiful!



Thanks again,

thanks heaps for your kind words.

what do you mean, you can't do pretty ones. you just created a mushy and pretty valentines avatar.

and what do you mean, you can't use layers like that yet. you use layers all the time and you do cut-out? then you "stich" them together as you imagine, that's all there is to it.

can i help you with something specitic ?

i admire the sharpness of your "ghost/skelli"s. i wish i could do that. how did you keep them that sharp. i am often frustrated with the loss of quality when resizing either to smaller or to bigger.

Wasn't being kind, was being honest. Those are not my ghosts/skelli's.. When I am looking for images, whenever I come across a transparency I save them.. less work for me, right? That's why I said to him that I came across them and found them. Wish I was that good...lmao

Just constantly collect is all..whenever I see an image I like..

As for the other stuff..I guess it is just learning. And for me it is best to learn by doing. So..I just will keep practicing and hopefully learn as I go.

Thanks for offering to help.. that was very kind of you.

Now off to workout ... insomnia isn't fun..you run out of things to do..lol

have a good night!

Nice to see you my friend.

Im like a prisoner talking about my cell mates release. "Yeah, he's in a better place now. Living in his own house up on that hill, and the misses greeting him at the door each night with a snifter, a cigar, and his slippers. Cody's gone to live the good life now......"

a reply to: lucia2389

I like them both.
