Two pics

The first was made for my own usage just for the hell of it. The quote is from do the evolution by pearl jam.

This one is for an art honors project that I surprisingly got a good grade on. The topic was surrealism:

Btw, I'm a complete PS n00b, never taken a class, only had Photoshop 7 about a month. I am however a fast learner, especially when it comes to PC stuff.

Input?
Thanks all!

*edit* Welcome. please don't post images directly in the forum, use links. Read the faq for more rules. We don't want the layout to be screwed up. Thanks.

The first two are good. For a self described ps newb those are great.

The art project is ok too

welcome

I love that pearl jam song :D

Do the evolution baby.

I would make the stroke around the gun black like the second one, but with an opacity of around 50%. The first one needs a stroke but I don't like the dark stroke in the second one.

Thanks for the input guys. I wanted the gun to look as realistic as possible, so I don't think the dark border really went to well. Ill try it out when I get home.
