Misa critique services yo =_=V Sorry I was feeling a bit lame :P Before I go on about the work, I noticed your username
as syringe backwards... you don't happen to also love egnirys cimredopyh by Dir en grey, do you? :3
Yes, I do, and yes, that's where it's from. :3 Did you know they just had their first official US release? I
have two copies of Withering to Death, but I've never been happier for them. Anyway...

lots of useful tips here that I don't really need to quote because they're right up
there)
I'm still experimenting with the brushes. I found some good ones and have been playing around with the eraser tool.
Obviously this is still under vast stages of construction because it still looks really unfinished to me. I r grunge
newb (and not really ashamed of it).
I'll have to try mixing some purple and brown in with it. I'm toying with color burn because I really like the
way it looks with the grunge effects. I'm working for a balance now. I don't want the left side to be
completely barren, but I don't want any of it to be overly concentrated in one area either. That just doesn't
seem balanced to me at all. Still working on finding a happy medium there.
Still looking for good grunge brushes. Everything I've found has those square corners, but that background is just
a playing around to get the feel of the brushes deal. It's not permanent, but progress is progress, for better or
worse. Thanks for the links, I'll have to check those out too.
I've got some brushes that I used for a layout once (if I can find them) that made a great scratchy background.
Sadly, I don't still have the image. I guess I decided to clean my hard drive off (which happens once in a blue
moon). Splodge splodge splodge. (I think I like that word... it's a good word.)
I haven't gotten anywhere near the text stage yet. Not sure what it should say yet either, which is always a
hindrance there. I'll know when the wall gets closer to completion. It's still in baby stages. :3
Well... I've read the submission policy, and I'm not sure if it's always been that way or if it's
just not retroactive. I've got some brushwhore walls in my gallery, and more than a few are in the 1337 gallery, so
I'm not sure there. If it gets removed, it gets removed. No biggie. :) I'll just know what not to do next
time.
I don't think I've put anything on top of the scan, I just have her set at a funky opacity because I was
playing with layers last night. There are two or three layers of Misa in the PSD.
You're not wrong, I don't like the squares either. I'll just have to find a way around it because I
really like some of the brushes, just not the square bits. -_-
And you know, that fluro-green sounds like an interesting idea. Red and green are opposite in the color spectrum, so
maybe I'll play around with that again. Thanks for all the tips, I'll definitely up another version when
I've played with it more.
But at least I'm getting somewhere with this. :3 Yay for the sandbox, or I'd be resorting to posting in
progress versions on MT like I used to, then getting opinions from people on my flist. But this is much, much easier
than submitting and editing the submissions all the time.
*goes back to work on Misa* :3 Thanks so much!
