STAY SMOKEY PEOPLE!
Any feedback is appreciated. These are mine that I made with Paint.Net with a set of plugins and everything. Here they are!

The idea is you have my logo in the middle, and an example of the games I play by having the game characters and mario pointing up to subscribe. Also it cuts off the top and bottom black parts so that's just there for the uploading. It's cropped so only the middle fits.
 
It just looks thrown together, it needs more blending and you can see a grungy edging around some of the people.
 
valiant effort but the images are out of proportion, if you master that it would work like a charm.
 
youve got a good start! try to perhaps feather the edges of the characters you put in to make it less of a harsh edge between them and the background! Hopefully that helps :)
 
Looks a bit grainy, maybe use a stroke/outline around the characters to make them seem more "part of the scene". The fire background isn't in my taste, maybe you could use a simplistic colour gradient? It would be easier on the eyes :) The text is good though, I like it :D

Thank you for that word. I'll remember to "feather" it because I couldnt find a "Blend" brush tool in the software I use. Feather is in there though so I appreciate it!
 
IMO the contrast between the 3-d characters and the drawn character in the middle is too strong, and gives it a thrown-toghether look. I'd draw the other characters like Mario, DK etc as well.
