It's pretty good

It's pretty good

Thanks!, though I thought the light shining on the bottom right should of been further back :S

 

[SQY]

I would of done a border, but I don't know how yet

It's pretty nice, care for some CnC? The light source is off, it should be on the left side meanwhile you put it on the bottom-right corner. The background seems a bit random with having little relevance to the render, like there's a background with a render slapped on top of it ._. and there's little to no blending on the render either. I'm sorry if this sounds a bit rude, please don't hate me D: Although, I'm not an expert in GFX so I could be wrong on some things .

You can't multi-post. I got my eyes on you :hypertobi:

Yeah, I got gimp yesterday, and only watched one tutorial
So I was experimenting :L, but thanks for the truth, I like that

it's ok....

If you could zoom on it some more it'd be even more awesome.

 

[SQY]

I just wonder how I'm going to improve, maybe there are more tutorials, what should I type into Youtube?

Sorry it doesnt look so good, it lokks like u made a black bg, posted some c4D and fractals, and then placed the render in the middle :/
Sorry if i´m being to harsh, but i want to help you getting better on gimp, since thats where i work on ^^
1st-Well next time, dont focus on the body, focus more on the face of the render, like on your ava
2nd-Blend the render with the bg Here is a tip: Double the layer of the render and then on the layer under the other layer with the render, go to filters-Blur- Gaussan Blur and put it to 10
3rd- Make a better bg, my tactic for it is to, on the layer with the render click ctrl+c and then with the brush tool, select the render and brush all over the bg layer ^^
4th- A border ^^ Go to select > all, and then go to Edit > stroke path and put it to 1
5th- The light is a little bad :/

Well this is all i can tell you to improve, i want to see more works made by you

I don't really understand some of this stuff
Like the one with the better bg, what do you mean? Ehh
And whats blending a double layer, confusing!

Watch a lot more tuts. Also I suggest you get PS, you can find free trials and cr*cked versions all over the place. It's much more easier to use, that's my personal opinion anyway. My art teacher always used to say, look thrice, draw once. It's the same principle here, try and watch as many tuts and then experiment. It pays off in the long run. Not bad for a very first attempt I guess o.o. i've seen worse, but I've also seen a lot better.

way better then my first

xD Yeah sorry, that was to much XD
Double layer - You have your layer window and you click on this:

Spoiler

You must be registered for see images

And then the gaussian blur for the blending (make the render look like a part of the sig) you click on:

And your done XD

For the better bg, you click ctrl+c and then this appears:

You click on it and it becomes a brush and you can paint like you where painting with a normal brush XD

Hope now you understand, sry for being so confusing

No dude don't apologise! But I think I understand now, but your gimp is all layed out nicely lol, mine is all in parts, I will try a new Premium Avatar and you can tell me if this one is any better!
