I'd thought I'd give an honest try at it. This is... my third time doing this, and I failed the first one, grasped the concept and did decent on the second one, but I thought I'd try out for a third time.

Does anyone else hate two-page spreads as much as I do? Ah, also, feedback and tips/critiques are welcome. :D

I borrowed this from Entropy's test, by the way, just in case anyone wants to try it out themselves, as well. ^.^

You overlevelled, now your greys are too dark. There was no need to level :)
edit: hmm it might look like that because your page is so small.

I assume you wanted it to be 1200px height, but you made the width 1200px.

The combining looks decent though, it's noticeable on the chain and on the greys but if you're just reading.. You probably won't notice.

Ah, thank you. =] I'll remember about the overleveling.
That chain killed me. It was all... freaky. :darn
And yeah, I meant to make it 1200px height, but I made that the width instead. By the time I really noticed it, I'd already closed psp. =[
Again, thank you for your tips! :D

I love doing 2 pagers. Well, when it is a good series, and has beautiful art, that is.

The main problem with the chain is that it's too blurry, but all the others are so crisp. Maybe just selecting that area and sharpening it will do. if not, just make make those gray areas either black or white. it doesn't have to match what the chain looks like exactly, it just wont show out so obviously.

Thank you for your advice. 8D

I definitely need to try that over again, see if I've gotten any better now that I've practiced a little bit. =D
