first thread

So, my first thread/published picture in this forum, although not my first picture made in PS.
In the middle of December I worked in the same class as Censured, and I noticed this forum from his screen, and I thought this is good place to meet other people who have the same hobby, making/manipulating pictures with PhotoShop. When I noticed what kind of pictures there are in here, I came to second thoughts about showing my pictures to others, because I couldn't possibly match the skills of other people here, so I remained silent. I can't stand someone criticize my pictures, I do it myself more than enough :p
Anyway, I thought I could at last show some of my pictures. I've learned a little about making vector-graphics with PS and 2 friends asked me to make a few tattoos for them, and I'll put links of them here too.

My latest photomanipulation:
Erased


And the tattoos: Tattoo1 (the latest tattoo)

Tattoo2

Tattoo3 (the first tattoo, one can see why)

And still I screwed up one thing in the text. The second tattoo is the first one I made, I just messed up with the URL. Anyway now the URLs are okay.

the erased stuff is ok, but i like the the tatoo's a lot there really cool!

i like tatoo's a lot!!!

tattoo1 is very stylish imo it would even work very well as a logo for a graphic website.
tattoo2 reminds me of a celtic design, well done and great concepts.

Good work, the photo-manip is clever. However, I have a bone to pick with you. =p

You said you don't like to receive criticism on your work. While having others nit-pick about your work can be frustrating, nine times out of ten it can be extremely useful. I learned through the constructive criticism of others on forums like these. Don't worry about "skill level" when posting. In fact, it's better to post on a board in which the members have a lot of experience because they have the ability to offer great advice that will help you develop your skills.

Good luck to you, your work is good, I hope to see more posts from you soon! Think about what i said.

I like the background on the photo manipulated image, but I'm not too keen on the way you've blended them together.
It's not a bad image at all, and I think the mask is quite clever.

The tattoos are nice, but too traditional for me.

Hahaha, you ****ing newbie! You're not worth our mighty compa..*gets shot in the neck with a large caliber handgun for being a prick*

...first, nice to have more Finnish people here. :D *waves the flag as always*

Secondly, you don't suck at all.
I think those images show enormous potential and the lurking talent shines through them.

Keep doing, and never hesitate to ask anyone here for help.

Long time no see Nelg
I love the idea of your behind the mask.
reminds me of "man in the iron mask" or what it was called
And the tatoos, they are really cool.
I wouldn't mind have one of those on my skin
And about skills and all that, well I can't do vector graphics at all...
And about the criticism, well you came to the right place.
In here even if you get bad criticism it aint like :
Damn you suck go away and never come.
Here ppl will tell you what you can make better and why...
And that's why I love this place so much.
:D
Waiting for more posts from you :D

omg. Okay, now I got second thoughts about not showing new pictures here I never thought I'd get replys such as these, and thanks for them, it's great to know that my works really are something
