This is my first attempt at GFX.
Some CnC would be appreciated.

Great start, but I'd recommend blending in the render with the background instead of leaving it out, use a soft brush if GIMP has one, And also don't draw on your work, it kind of ruins it a bit.

The text is white on a green background, Which makes it hard to see. Try using a different color for that and find a better placement aswell.

Good try though. ^^

Thank you for the constructive criticism. Will be sure to take all these tips into account next time.
I don't think Gimp has a soft brush. Can't find it in the Toolbox (although I swear I've used feathering before)
Drew on it because I wasn't sure how to make a text bubble. Oh, well.

That's unfortunate. Feel free to post when you think of something.

Thanks. I know it could be better, but I was too lazy to spend more than 20 minutes on this.

Nice to know you are trying as well. But gimp must have a Smudge tool. Use that to blend the edges of render a bit. And also use the backround that matches the render. Say in this case something like light pink would have been nicer

Thank you for the tips. I did use a smudge tool, but I'm guessing not well enough.

the only constructive critisicm i can think of is that you needed to have chosen a better booty. its not aesthetically pleasing. like at all. it needs to be better structured, i like my booties that are the perfect shape.

as for the art itself, i think that you should get trained in photoshop by the greatest graphic designer of our times, gwyneth paltrow like in the hit action movie grown ups 2.

I was 99% convinced it was a troll post

It's definitely meant to be funny, but not at all a troll post.

I would've chosen better booty, but it's an inside joke between my friend and I (my friend is the guy in the picture). He memorized the entire Anaconda song, so this is dedicated to him.
