I've been wanting to get good at photoshop for around 6 months now. I've messed around on Gimp, but I could never really figure out how it all worked. Instead of making 

good looking pictures, I'd just shrink artwork of games, and make that my banner. I've always wanted to get good, and watched a lot of tutorials on youtube. But something was always holding me back from making an actual cool pic. Then I guess it all just came together. I got the motivation from DJ's page. The pic in his about me section was amazing. I asked him how he got the characters to look so good, with the background. He gave me a couple short tips, and a good site to get renders. And then I just started messing around. 

I made a cool flame background. Looked like this. I figured that was an ok start. I planed to add Marcus Fenix with Cog tags, then one of master chief. So I found the renders I wanted them, but had trouble making them the right size. Two hours later, and a handful of cuss words, I finished. I know its not perfect. But I was very proud of myself. And it will stay in my profile until I make a better one. Here it is.

I had a lot of fun making it, well finishing it. Making these things can sure be frustrating, but the reward is great. I decided to make a new banner for my Every Three blog. I started with this. (Earlier in the day, way before I made the about me pic)

Now at the time, I thought it was pretty good. You guys left some nice comments, but looking back...it sucked. Thanks for the nice comments though.

But mommy, look how far I've come. In a matter of 6 hours

I really like that one. I love how the spartans kinda match the blue flames. Well thats all I have for now, thanks for reading. Ill post my thoughts on geometry wars, and the braid demo tomorrow.
