I'll give it a 3/10. It's got a pretty simple backround, and you're right, the text isn't all great either.

background gets a 3/10 - good texture but really simple
1/10 for text - did you use a paintbrush? lol, thats what it seems like - use small font and type it in, looks much better
3/10 for the render, would be good if it was facing us lol :D

just keep working, you'll eventually get better, what program did you use?

looks the same to me, take out that writing and that smiley face lol - add a text box and type in your name - lower the opacity of the car render and place elsewhere, doesn't really fit there and doesn't blend it too well either

for the text use maybe Arial for font and size 12 or 14 pixels - then you should stroke it with a 1 pixel border, probably white or black will do

just some tips

well thats better but text doesnt fit, you should use a stroke around it, set it to 1 pixel white and the car should still be blended in a bit more

Dude Do you think I would know how to do that?

i wouldn't be telling you exactly what to do if i thought u knew that lol - if i thought u knew, i'd say "stroke the text"

just look it up - i have gimp but haven't used it in a while to know where to set the text decorations - good luck though, just try the help tab or something :)

you can't expect to get better unless you screw around with the tools and settings a bit.

Juice, can you please not double post? I am irritated by double posters. I wish I could merge those posts, but sadly, not Junior Mod. Anyway, the texture looks nothing new, I can get it in a minute, the render isn't much, and don't resize renders, don't look nice at all. Stroke around the text, etc, 1/10.

Well keep on trying. Do you expect a pat on the back? If you give up now, and try again later, well, expect the same attitude. I'm trying to help you. So keep on trying, and keep on showing us the work. Keep experimenting. I mean, heck, I sucked like a couple of months ago, now I can call myself a so-so.
