here are a couple of pointers:
1. blend the text and the pics with the background
to do this, simply lower the optacy for the layer with the text and the layer with the render (i am assuming that you are using GIMP
2. use some better fonts, you can download them from any website just google search "download fonts", or use www.dafont.com
3. I see that the backgrounds you are using are the pre-made GIMP backgrounds
you should make your own backgrounds with various brushes and colors. here is a great site to download brushes (for gimp), it's where i get all of mine from: http://browse.deviantart.com/reso...pbrushes/?order=9&alltime=yes
you are exactly like me when i started making cg arts, you will get a lot better in time _________________ I am the Gold Dragon... A.K.A. DSi

I did blend my text.
i didnt make my bg.
i didnt blend my renders.
To make the drop shadow red go Script Fu -> Shadow(or sumin) -> Drop Shadow. were it says the numbers to put were it were you want, there is a color box underneath. click on that. _________________
i knew how to make drop shadows, i just didnt know how to make them red
anyways, sorry i didnt notice you blended your text, its very good
next time try blending your renders
and making your own background is key; it makes a good art into great art _________________ I am the Gold Dragon... A.K.A. DSi
