My first personalization attempt from a long time ago. and another, not as old, but almost.. I know there aren't any credits, after I made them.. I kind of forgot where I got them u.u And I STILL can't remember. I'm young but I have the forgetfulness of an 80 year old at times. Thank you's in advance for your critquies! |{ittey|{at and Anna are both me XD I go by different names at different times, I haven't quite made up my mind who I am yet

What program do you have?
I quite like those images, you've got really good potential, if you can just get rid of that glow around the horses, improve your smudging and work on your text you'd be pretty darn good ^^ I don't know what program you have -- so can't be of much help,

Both were done in Adobe Photoshop. Thank you for the comments. Cutting is my worst forte u.u I can't seem to keep my hand steady enough lol

your cutting isn't too bad, do you use the pen tool for cutting - its much easier than the lasso, for smudging can I suggest downloading arrsistable's enhancement brushes download them, find faded hair, size 24 at about 84% strength and smudge in a flowing motion,

You're images aren't bad at all. =D We just need to clean them up a bit and they would be perfect. So I'm going to help you a little.
For your cutting I noticed you use Photoshop and I have a Photoshop tutorial up on this site to help with cutting. It can be found here: CUTTING TUTORIAL.
For hair smudging if you want more soft, and mythical feel to your images the tips Madeline gave are great, but if you want the strands to look more realistic, and be defined [ like in my sig. ] you'll have to use a different method. I'll make a tutorial on how I do my smudging here shortly.
