Hello fellow Pandorians! I've been messing around with Gimp, and I made this (Me in the middle, my cousin on the left, my brother on the right). Not sure how I like it, this is a revision of a previous version I created an hour earlier. :P (by the way, the full size was way too big to post here. xD here's the link to the full sized: http://i.imgur.com/kYeMN7A.png)

Tips on improving it? Thanks! :)

I quite like the look of it. Wish I wasn't so bad at designing! Tips to improve? All I can think of is maybe trying something creative with the text, but it looks nice either way :)

Thanks! Don't worry, just tinker around with it, you'll get the hang of it. :) (I'm a huge GFX noob still ._.)

Will definitely work on something a bit different on the text, thanks! It was my first time trying out 3-D styled text so I was a bit hesitant on some creative aspects. Thought I might screw everything up haha.

The text does tend to stand out from the rest, but it's better off that way than more blocky (might be harder to read).

What is that diamond thing on the trainer's back?

Thanks for response Aura. :)

Yeah, my original thought was for the text to stand out thus making it easier to read. But now I'm not so sure haha.

The diamond thing behind my back is two diamond swords (from Minecraft) crossed. Here it is without anything in front of it.

You think I should remove it?

It's not a really important detail in the picture. I think it's better off not being there unless there was a way to make it more visible.

I don't usually suggest a radial blur for the background, but I must admit this work pretty well.
The text though doesn't work that well. The colour stands out quite a lot a generally motion blur for 3d doesn't work that well.
Especially when the rest of the image looks rather 2d-ish, I think you could use another text style

I like this, really good job :)
I would tone down the blur on the trees just a bit, it's so distracting it's becoming it's own focal. Maybe try and use pixel pokeballs so they fit with the minecraft theme?
I like the text though, but it would look cool if you used a mosaic filter on the gradient so again, it fit with the minecraft characters

GIVE THIS MAN AN AWARD!


I've never been able to do anything that nice on gimp, so it's really impressive.

10/10 Would admire again.
