Bluehawaii, I'm really sorry, but I don't really know how to rate colourisations. Overall, they're great, but the one problem is that if you look at the first image, the fingers end very abruptly. If you curve your fingers like that, then you'll see a slight... light variation. The second image looks highly artificial, looking at the face it's too perfect. I think the eyes accentuate it, especially the reflection, almost as if too much light is coming. Overall, brilliant, it's just one or two little inconsistencies, but... wow! 9.5/10
Any opinions on my new set. My first attempt in ages, so please, be nice

What do you mean about the fingers in the first one?
The original (coloured) version has the same look to it...

Okay. It just seems to be as though the fingers just... stop, there's no light to suggest a continuation, or shadows. My room is near pitch black at the momet, so I guess it isn't the best 'evidence', but if I curve my fingers, there's a little shadow on the end of my finger, and a whiter patch when the skin tautens that the mind will automatically configure as a continuation. But if I'm wrong, it's because I'm new to this. I'm definitely not saying it's bad, it's just if I didn't pick out these tiny errors, then I'd just be going it's perfect to everyone around here

bluehawaii19: I think I see what Matt's talking about- your colourisation added a bit of an outline to everything, and it makes it as though all the fingers are cut off. The original picture doesn't have that. As per the rest of the Dominic colouring, it's pretty nice although the eyes and hair are awfully saturated in an unrealistic way. Skin tone is great, and so is the little critter on his finger. :)
For the second colouring, Matt's also right about that- it's also rather unrealistic, especially the face (bring out the eyes a little more, perhaps?) and upper body. Perhaps you could give a little colour variation in skin colour or choose a slightly darker shade. There's also the same outline problem seen in the first one- parts of the dress have a strange white pixelly border that stands out, as does her right arm (on the left side). This one's not as good as your first one, but nevertheless it's quite well done, especially the surroundings.
<hr>
Matt: Good stuff considering you haven't been making graphics for awhile (I remember your old sets!). Several issues though- the colours don't seem to match, for one thing. Perhaps if you change the background to a brighter hue- if you want to keep at green, perhaps a leafy one; or try a summery orange- it'll come out a little better. This way your name will match, the theme will be more prominent, and the border will come out more, as it's only faintly visible at the moment. Also, the subtext font looks a little awkward. I know it's Redensek, but it looks a little classier in all caps.

Michelle: I really like that set. I love the way, on the signature, that it's red on the left and fades into pink. The words running across the back of the signature really add to the set, and don't make the background look plain. I like the placement of "Tori Amos" on the signature right in the middle. Overall, great job! 
9/10.
Yoshi: I know this was a while ago, but let me just take the time to say... I LOVE that set. I want to steal it. Can I steal it, Yoshi? It's a pretty and multicoloured. XD I actually can't find anything wrong with it, except that the left of the signature, the light, is rather blinding. 9.5/10.

Can someone please rate this set?
The original image was a real cat (.:Chronically Depressed:.'s), and I colourised it in Gimp, and made it a set. Commmmments? It's kinda plain.
9/10.

Anubis: It's nice, yet i think that the colourisation is really basic, it's just one colour 
the cat is cute though and i like the CD font, but i do believe that the font for the subtext and text in ava is a little too small, and the CD is a little too stuffed away in the corner, i think you could've made the contrast of the picture a little bigger, or spread the text more over the ava and sig and use some filters or such
anyone rate my new set made from a picture with general grievous on it?

Anubis - It was hard for me to see the cat at first.
It is a little on the bright side.
It also is very basic.
7/10
Jens - For some reason the sub-text doesn't look too good on there.
And the L is getting covered up a bit.
Other than that, I like it.
9/10
I just made 2 new avatars.
Care to rate?

fantastic as always, moogie 
the grids opacity is a *little* too high, but that's just an opinion. maybe you could've made it less wide, yet it's ok the way it is right now, i'm giving you 9.5/10
more ratings on my set?

Jens: The subtext doesn't belong there. If it was a bit lower, it'd look better. But it's a good set!
moogie: I don't like the way the text is. If it was off to the left, it'd look better to me.

Anubis- Its cute! The orange adds a nice effect! But it lacking something but I cant tell what it is... 7/10
Jens- Thats cool... the subtext probably should have been placed somewhere else, like someone said the L is beign cover up... and its a bit akward high 6.8/10
Adam- First one is a bit bland. Between the dots and the red, she look a bit boring - 6/10, The second one is cool, it really stands out! 8/10
moogie- Thats really cool! I just dont like the extra black space on the left.... 9.6/10
DM- That cool! I just have one problem with it--the scratch effect takes away from the image. Other than that, its awsome! 8/10
Anyways, I have a new set. Rate it please? Just keep in mind that I know 'loser' is in a bad place, but I like it that way.

loser1921: Hrm...The colorization sort of flattens the image, and the sig seems a bit plain. Maybe you could put some textures or something in the background to liven it up? I love the image, though^^

Amethyst- it's pretty, and the purple's eyecatching, but the overlay makes the Scriptina very hard to read. With brand identity and all, you really want your users to know the name, not have to guess at what it is. Also, the font you've used for the characters is slightly boxy and doen't go so well with the script font.
