So, couldn't sleep and decided to try another...Sort of a motiff for each major side in the Heroes series of events.

First up, The Linderman Group:





Next up, PrimaTech Paper...Followed by Yamagoto Industries, followed by "the Heroes", followed by "The Villains".

P.S. Is the writing just a little too tacky?

P.P.S. I couldn't decide whether or not to keep Malsky in the final product, which you see here I did...Good decision, or no?

Like I said on your other wallpaper, you should probably feather the edges of your cuts. Also it's just 'Whose' not 'Whose's'.

And I think even though he ended up being the rat in Linderman's group, having Malsky there balances it out. The writing isn't tacky.

I like your idea of grouping the different alliances

I agree with Aerdna, also Nathan looks a bit squished

I like the background though

Hmm, fairly good, but a lot of stuff looks squished. Do you use the free transform or the image size or what? If you're using free tranform (if you've got photoshop or whatever you are using) then make sure you're looking at the heighth and width percentages and make sure they're the same number. Like if it's 45.6% and 45.1% but if it's 45% and 48.9% then that won't work. Sorry if I'm telling you stuff you already know, but that might help a bit.

I agree with thats been said, the actual background looks really good though. I think its just the cuts you really need to work on.

Should be interesting to see your next one, doing all different groups is a nice idea.

I'm working on the one from Primatech Paper now, but I can't seem to impliment any of the changes you guys have suggested....

I'm rather inept when it comes to photoshop, as I've never been taught how to use it actually...Never really done anything "technical" with it, so I'm learning as I go.

I can't really figure out this "feathering" technique Aerdna mentioned, so help with that would be nice.
Also, the image sizing: I use the transform for the characters, but I'm not seeing where the numbers for height and width come up while doing it...So help with that would be great too.

Here's what I have for Primatech thus far...I'm contimplating whether or not to add Eden and Hank, provided I can find good pictures of them.

Those are both great tutorial archives on coloring and the like in photoshop. Don't worry, photoshop is majorly a learning-as-you-go-along program. I remember when I first got it I was asking my friend for help all the time and felt really dumb (because of course my friend is Miss Smarty Tardy know-it-all).

I made some screencap tutorial type...things... here they are.

Free transforming
Cutting out peoples

And sorry if your eyes explode trying to read them, I didn't know they'd be that small. You could always just save them to your computer and zoom in on photoshop.

Hope it helps
