First Art Attempt

[StarSlayer]

Ok, so here's my first attempt at any art marking on the computer, using GIMP. It's a wallpaper of what else, Spuffy 😀 I'm going to try and work on banners next time because making wallpapers is tough! Any feedback, both good and bad, would be appreciated since I'm still learning. Thanks! 🙂

Oh waow that sure is amazing for first attempt! :O
Welldone, keep the good work up 🙂

I wouldn't believe that was a first attempt unless you had told us! Excellent work, I love that shade of blue you have used, and the textures are awesome!

First off I want to say you did an amazing job for your first time 🙂
I think you are going to be great.
Don't know if you would like this but I found this very helpful when doing art for the first time.

Those are some great tutorials here on the BB!
I can't wait to see your future work because you already have some good skills.

Thanks so much Marisa 🙂 And I have been reading those tutorials. Aren't they awesome? They've helped me learn much of the tools to work with!

 

[Lindsey McDonald]

Great work! Especially with the blending. That was the hardest thing for me to grasp at first. 🙂

They really are! I know when I first used it I was like whew this makes so much more sense glad you liked them.
I also want to add I agree with Lindsey you are very good at blending I am still working on that at times 😉

Very, very pretty! 😀 I like the blue flame on top of that blue texture.... I can't believe this is your first attempt! 😀
The only thing I can give you any feeback on is that next time I would try to lighten the pictures a little more. If Buffy and Spike were a little lighter in color, and maybe also blue-ish, they would really pop with the background. 😀

That's excellent! Can't believe it's your first wallpaper.

 

[Spikefan31]

OMG, that is SO good! Really your first attempt? Wow 😀

 

[Taake]

wow, that's your first time. That looks awesome 😀

 

[LizzieRainbow]

That is brilliant, especially for a first attempt 🙂

 

[TheGrandmaster]

Wow are you sure that's your first piece of art? 😀 Seriously, that's really good, I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future 🙂

 

[charmedones193]

Very Pretty 🙂 I Like It..

 

[TheChosenTwo]

Wow, it's your first? Awesome!

 

[StarSlayer]

Ok, here's some banners I made, just of random scenes I always found funny, so I could practice blending, lighting, and such. 🙂
