    I haven't made a tag in months and I've decided to start from the ground up [literally I'm reading GIMP USERGUIDE] so I got rid of all my brushes and C4Ds. I used one C4D for the lighting. No brushes and a flower render. [I'm recollecting brushes and C4Ds]. Anyways, the tag isn't finished so I posted this for feedback. I can't find a decent text font [the one I envisioned in my head] or some type of sparkle brush [might have to make my own]. Now, back to the tag; i've been working on it about three days now.

    I frankly believe this is the best tag; I've ever made! Even if it's unfinished. Okay the render, the pink wasn't working so I put an orangish/redish gradient map over her. I think it turned out pretty well. It made her skin a gritty dark color so I dodged it up a bit. Not completely to the point of her skin being pale again but with a slight tint. Other parts of her needed a 'dodge' too. The background. I left the left side pretty unchanged maybe a 'burn' or two. But the right side, I made the colors more vivid and rich. As for the circles and spheres, I distorted them a bit then did a clipping mask sort of thing to make it look like the background is bulging out to add depth. Speaking of depth, I also added an inward border [at the right] to add depth. Well, it seems that way to me. The flower. I think; it is a nice touch. I slightly adjusted its colors to fit in better and added a shadow to give depth. Lastly, I think; I need to work on the overall flow. I'll see what I can do.

    Comments or Concerns? Anything you would add?

    Hm... I like the placement of the render. Still, I think that you can use better effects besides the circles. Like... one of those groovy lines/techno lines or whatever they are called. I believe you can use those. Will give the background that futuristic or a fast-paced rhytm going.

    I was going for a more modern simple tag. I love the whole shopping mall idea. Eh I dunno.

    EDIT: Hmm the shadows seem a bit too thick?!

    Hm... not sure. I'll work on the same thing as you and see what I can do with it for effects. Just think that you can use different effects.

    ooohh.. maaaaaaan.

    thatz like.. the best cross-anime-sorta-realism-stock-background-thingie
    i've ever seen.

    the flower, I have to say, like you said, does give it a nice touch,
    but for some reason, the yellow is silghtly too eye catching
    and takes away the attention from the main focus.

    but I have to say, the way you corrected the colors on the girl really made her blend in.
    especially how the realism and the lights work out in the center too,
    and of course, not to mention how the "outingz" also give it a nice touch.
    and I like that inward border; itz not noticeable, but it gives, again, an extremely nice touch.

    as said on top and being repetitive,
    this is a really nice example of (what I would call)
    crossing the borderz in anime and realism;
    this style is really unique, so keep it up :D

    Thanks, I most certainly do try!

    I'm glad you mentioned that. I had made the yellow originally smaller taking up much less of the flower. Hmm...maybe a little less.

    Thanks. I enjoy feedback!

    a little less might make it show too much white.
    as usual, too much or too little of anything alwayz tipz off something.

    as of now, I think that shade of yellow (or vibrancy) is good for now,
    or at least, closest to what would be the "best" for it.

    and no problem~

    That's not that bad for a first, honestly. I've seen a lot worse.

    The flower really doesn't fit and is badly blended.
