Advising criticism, please!

Too big.


Nah it looks alright, perhaps the yellow goes more towards the green side and not the orange one if you nkow what I mean.

Looks good, although the cloud pattern that is visible on the yellow might be a little too obvious.

I trust in you when it comes to graphics, so what should I do to it make more realistic? Add opacity?

Well the could pattern is consistent throughout. By that I mean you can see it carry over between the black stripes. To make it look a bit more 'realistic', I would partially erase some of the cloud layer randomly on each yellow strip so that the pattern doesn't carry over directly. That will keep the unity of the stripes based on color and general pattern, but make the black act as more of a separation and appear as less of an overlay onto the yellow. I hope that makes sense, it's hard to explain.

Well, my goal was to make something similiar to this from a scratch:



What I understood from your comment is to make some yellow over black and vice versa?

Basically, so that the yellow areas are all unique and there is no pattern going between stripes. (e.g dirt marks going from one stripe to the next).

I don't see the point of doing this however.

Ahhh yes, now I understand. Will do that. =)
When I merged the stripes the cloud pattern, I made white to transparent. Don't ask me why, it just looked fine at the time o.O

In the meantime, some other crap:

It looks fine to somebody who has never used photoshop, but if you've messed around with it at all it is glaringly obvious how it was made and it makes it look a bit elementary.

Very nice fire, how did you make it?

Not really, while dirt may be consistent to an extent it probably wouldn't follow the repetitious pattern created by the cloud filter.

Thanks and:

GIMP 2
1. Gradient > germany flag smooth (black, red & yellow)
2. Smudge tool > create the base of the flames
3. Filters > Distorts > IWarp --> Rotate (yes, rotate) all flames first CCW, and then CW
4. New Layer
5. Filters > Render > Clouds > Plasma
6. From the layer window, overlay the plasma layer to the flame one

Done!

and if I remember right, someone made a tut about it.

And today I was bored...
No idea how to make it look better...

You did this on GIMP?

Yeah

Thats pretty good. I hate Gimp lol

Edit: NVM...

Here's a widescreen wallpaper that screams for text but I couldn't think of anything that looks good.
