CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE BEEN PROMOTED/PLACED TO FISH CHUMMER.
You have a lot of good basics down and I think once you strengthen your colouring, additive, and text usage, you'll be a Dive Master in no time. Your blending, from what I can see, seems to be fine. I think you could work on your colouring a bit though. I understand that you have PSCS2 which means you do have selective colouring. It sort of looks like you've been using it, I think in that Keira signature? Which has aboslutely gorgeous colouring on it, by the way. But I think the colouring on the other stuff is a bit lacking. Either they're not bold enough or they look simply washed out. For the additives, you seem to be struggling with that because with the additives you have added, they looked kind of haphazardly placed on, like you were unsure. Such as in the Keira signature, for such a nice blend and colour combination, it seems incredibly odd to place such a grungy texture on top. I think in the Lacey Misc. you kind of had an okay grasp with the notebook concept but then in the Keira misc. that flower just seems randomly placed in the corner. So definitely try to fill the empty space, but not to the point that it overtakes the main focal point of the graphic: the model. For the text, just play around some more and take a glance at some other galleries and their combinations for text and the type of (light, dark, grungy, etc.) graphic they put it on. Text should also fill up space but unlike additives, can sometimes overshadow the model because the message you are putting out is just as important as the faces portraying it. Such as in the Keira misc., you have so much space provided but you seemed to have used none of it, instead you chose to squish all your text to the top. Overall, I would definitely like to see more from you because you definitely do have some wonderful skills. ^__^
