Hi JeMun! You take so much time to comment on our battle that I'll feel guilty if I don't write a huge long comment for yours.
I don't even know where to begin...you have so many...
Colorization:I really like the color of his hair and the lips. They are both really striking and bold colors that stand out well. However, the brightness of the shirt color sort of detracts from that. It's a bit hard to explain, but I think that when I look at the colorization, I'm not sure where to look. The hair color is bold but the outfit is shiny which sort of takes away from the statement of each other. (eh...did that make sense?) Perhaps the blue of the shirt could be dulled a little. Otherwise, I love the color choices. As for the skin color, I agree with jenannsel. It would help if it was tinted with more yellow to give it a more realistic look. It is really great overall though. Love it. *drool*
yeap, i'll have to tone down on the bright colors a bit. i will always keep your guy's comments with me when i do a colorization and make sure to double check. they're all great ideas! you guys don't know how much your comments are helping me improve. thank you so much!

Poster:I think this is my favorite of your posters. (I love blueee) I really like the simplicity of it and the lonely feeling it gives off. Once thing I think could have been done better would be the font choice or style for "waiting for you". The font that you picked is very bold and round which in my opinion gives off more of a cheerful final look while what the words are saying gives off a wistful feeling that would probably be portrayed better if it was a script font or instead of doing a stroke around it, use a a blue outer glow.
i know i over brightened this poster. this was my earlier poster that i did and i really wanted a clean/white look. and yeah, i totally agree with the font choices! that is my weakest! i can't pick the right font or the right placement for them. i wish there was a rule for what kind or where to put my font/text. i'm horrible at it. if you have any pointers help me out. and i don't have many font choices either. most of the fonts i used are what came with my laptop. hehehee so i should do some searching and find good fonts.

PosterI love this one. I can't think of anything I would change for this one. I really like the contrast between the colors. Perfect!
PosterI love the flame effect. It's such a great touch, you can definitely feel the heat. I think the only thing I would change is the color of the yellow of the pictures on the top. They currently come off as more greenish yellow than the yellow below in the reflection that gives off the burning liquid feel.
when i made those posters i was either really sad or just annoyed/angry. i'm glad it worked out so well. yeah, now that i look at the flames it does show a little tint of 'green' it's because of the colors of the pictures that i added in. i should of had gone over it with a little orange to cover it up. you have such sharp eyes!

i'll make sure and fix that up. thank you!

Banners:This is just an overall comment on your banners. I really like the placement of pictures in your banners. I would suggest not using so much brushes and effects on them. Sometimes simplicity is the key.

My 2cents! I hope I didn't tire your eyes out... I can definitely see a lot of improvements from when you started though! Keep it up!
yeah, i was so into gaussian blurring and using brushes when i first started! hahaha and that diagnoal white lines too! i've toned down a lot now.
and thank you for all your comments and suggestions! it means a great deal to me! i really appreciate them all. i like how you guys are so nice and give me constructive criticism that i can use.
and thanks so much for all the battles that you guys have here. i learn so much from just looking at your battles. i start to see new tools to use when i see a new battle. it's awesome. THANK YOU~!
