Wow this turned out horrible, I know it's my first time using Photoshop but I expected more from myself T_T

I spent a couple hours this morning just looking for a background but never found anything I liked. I still think it's "Okay" for my first time, but I need to step up my game. (p.s.  really I would like some tips on cool things I can do with Photoshop, because I barely know how to use any of the tools so far)


A good gamer knows how to PLAY the game; a great gamer knows how to LIVE the game.

@Kyrdua
If something is inspired by Touhou or Hatsune miku, but is not officially released from the makers themselves, it's self explanatory that it's not official. Be it manga or whatever.

@bakaOni
Go to the ava/sig thread, and look for tutorials on how to use photoshop. I learned on my own, as someone once said, tutorials are for weaklings :)

You could also use youtube, i'm pretty sure there are some vids there.

idiot10k, who cares? Oh, and Miku did have a cameo, in UN-GO...

I knew nothing of the outside world. I was just a frog in a well.

To put an end to it, Miku's fine...
Although too many and that reduces your chances of it being accepted (we won't take a whole bunch of same theme/chara banners, only the ones we like best).
Also I don't see any Kagamin submissions and I'm very disappoint :(

Maybe you should use a different background, and change the font color.

The background is a bit too plain, maybe add a little something to make it look less plain.

The "T"s as crosses are a bit out of place, especially when it black colored, makes it look gloomy. Otherwise it looks really nice. :)

Also Religious implications...

haha, you got a point there, but.. we have to be political correct

Also same as before to avoid political correctness issues, avoid "Merry Christmas" and similar religious greetings.

but then again.. a cross isn't a greeting  ;D

text is a bit to small.. I barely noticed it

and what a coincidence that two different people used the same render and decided to post their banner at almost the same time   :o
