For all the people that don't know SHIT about graphics:
This pic is decent for a 2n try, INDEED.
but the overall pic compared to an average standard.... man it SUCKS.
that's why you need to gain experience and get more skills to get something decent, that's why I gave him the advice to follow a lot of tutorials, not to crack him off, but simply because he NEEDS it.
you can't just give a baby a brush and expect him/her to paint the mona lisa, it's impossible.
in this case, it's exactly the same, so stop acting like complete retarded douchebags and get your brains together,
for a 2nd try picture you did a GREAT job, because I didn't start messing around with brushes until my 2nd month or so.
for an overall picture... it sucks, but just keep on trying and keep on getting better. because experience is what matters most in EVERYTHING.
