Thought I would start this thread in the hopes that there will be good and serious critiques. I can be your first *victim* IR or whomever wishes to give me direction!!! This is in progress....it is a photo I took and then added the little ghosties...which may or may not work.
Sorry, I've never done this include image thing before. This is a Halloween wall I have been messing with for a while. Any input would be appreciated. Time is getting short.
Frankie, I recommend losing the vulture and maybe 1 or 2 of the bats. It seems a bit crowded there. The vulture is a large bird...much larger than a crow, and they are on the same tree. The scale is off.
The bat in front of the moon is perfectly positioned, but you can see through him.
That's an excellent creepy house.
On the gravestones, I recommend a few bits of grass in front of them, so they look like they are in the grass rather than on it. Maybe a few bits of grass in front of the skull too, so it looks like it's been there a while.
I agree with Xiandi, (it's crowded) but I would lose a few of the ghosts, and the concrete crypt. The concrete crypt is something you find in areas that are prone to flooding (I believe--there are a lot of them in the deep south); it seems out of place with the rest of the grave markers being a different kind.
agreed. too busy.
Lose the vulture.
Frankief, one of your wallpapers is the only...ONLY one my wife has ever had on her desktop when she isn't running the USC Gamecocks theme. And my wife is P-I-C-K-Y. If she was a mod here, we'd all be in freakin trouble. She doesn't even use MY wallpapers.
LOL, but Karen, I've grown so fond of those ghosts over the last three weeks! Kidding. Quick question though. If I make some of the suggested changes and want to repost the image can I replace the other one or do I need to do a completely new one? Sorry to be so dense. Oh and thank you all for your suggestions. Having some difficulty getting grass to show for the skull behind the mist.
somewhere in sc there is a person of refinement and taste.
Teddy...I think if you added some sort of structure...such as an old house or something along those lines in that empty background area it might add to the wall...I think thats whats missing...that background area looks a bit to empty. I here you WG, it seems a consensus about the *empty space*!! I'll see what I can do with it and the ghosties!!! Thank you all for your ideas on my wip!!!
LOL, she must have very good taste! Obviously the vulture by all consensus is history!
Thank you Frankie, I'm not sure, but in case not, the link could be helpful!!
Quoting PoSmedley, reply 36somewhere in sc there is a person of refinement and taste. I thought he's from Miami? Love that guy!!!

The model is definitely out, no plans on including her anyway. I'll re-insert the image into photoshop and instead of duplicating it, expand it. I dl'd some tree brushes that have fog attached to them. They look as though they'll work. Take a look at this.
Its a part I'm thinking of including.
I sent you an invite to My Dropbox to pick up some brushes. You'll like 'em.
That one looks cool!
Uvah, did you find some better bats? Midnights Touch has some really good realistic ones here: http://midnightstouch.deviantart.com/gallery/#/dnz1u4
Thanks Steve and I am still waiting on your perspective on the perspective of the skulls and skeletons!
If Leigh Ann reads this thread, you're on her "list".
Need I remind you that is not a desirable place to be?
As long as the Gamecocks keep losing, she'll be to mad at them to concern herself with me.
Backatcha, Mary.
working on a halloween wall....hopefully, it will be ready by halloween 2010...
