rachel!

i've sort of been a closet fangirl of yours, but i really have always loved your stuff.
it has sort of a modern look to it, and there's always something about your graphics that make them very distictive.
keep up the fab work!

i love the memories of you blend, very pretty

Even so, what you do have looks amazing. Your blending is flawless and you're really good with the watch blending. And you already know I lurves Kanye. When you make another sig, I'm sporting it.

i dunno what you call it, but the smooth shiney thing you have?
it is absolute LOVE. everything is just so perfect!

<333

THIS is sheer perfection
Both your blends are flawless and gorgeous
Can't wait to see more!

those two blends? utter perfection! the color and everything's just so spot on! awesome work, add more graphics for me to ogle at soon!

@ graphics - > GORGEOUSGORGEOUS.

I really love your style of colouring, and your blending as always is flawless. I love the way that everything just fits in your graphics!! update soonish, hon?

I know you only have two banners in your gallery at the moment, but holy cow! That first one is stunning. The coloring, blending/image placement, and use of texture is remarkable! And with the second one, the black and white is awesome. Double kudos to you!

xx Apple

this banner just makes me fall in love with Sirius again. i really, really adore your banners. the second one is just gorgeously blended.
the colouring and stuff, JUST HOW DID YOU DO THAT?

-Gia.

Oh Your Highness Supreme Almighty Ruler of the Galaxy, teach me your ways. Everything is soo beautiful, and soft! I especially love your castle in the sky banner! *squee* And your rough landing blend! You make everything so fluffy and colorful.

I <333333 *to infinity* your graphics.

I too am completely addicted to your love burns blend. Gorgeous! If that's texture happy than I definetely need to experience that.

Hello

The subtle knife banner: I like everything about it but the text. I like the S, but the rest is hard to make out... Change the colour and it'd be perfect!

Change my world blend: It annoys me that I can't make out what's inside the... door But that's just me I love it! I love the concept (if I got it right) and the colouring is fab. The text, too, is great.

Stab my back blend: I know I've seen him before but I can't remember who it is! Anyway, I think it's simple but pretty. The text is REALLY hard to make out, but otherwise it's gorgeous!

So far I feel I like everything, so sorry if there's not much constructive critique

Keeper blend: I dunno how to say this, but... I FRIGGIN LOVE IT! Omg, it's the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen.

Small change blend: I love the colouring. Aaaaah, I'm at a loss for words because they're all so gorgeous I don't have anything to say...

Watching your world from afar blend: You said yourself that the image quality was bad, and I agree. I don't like the font of the word "World", but other than that, again, what is there to say? Gorgeous.

Memories blend: Oh, how sweet! I can't tell if it's a boy or a girl (sorry ), but it's sweet anyway. Text, blending, everything is great!

Re--- something I can't make out I love the theme, and I love the pic of him (the original one). And, I love the blend, except that I can't see the text and that sort of bugs me xD Not so sure about the big grey clock to the left though... Dunno what it looks like without it, but maybe it'd look better??...

somethingsomethingsomething alive Again I can't see the text, and that bugs me I didn't see what it was until I read the note under, and I thought it was weird. This is probably the only one I didn't like. The text is just confusing...



All in all, I guess you've probably already guessed that I love your graphics!!!!!!! *Feels like an overexcited 14-yo fangirl*

abc_cat: haha thanks sweetie! that song is soo addicting
GryffindorGirl153: thank you darling!
.highwayheartbeat: yay! thank you!! <3

_{Pimping...
Oh wow. All the pretties...
You're blending and text skill is so amazing.
And your colouring.
I think my favourite thing in the gallery is this.
The only suggestion I could make is that it seems like a few of your images are oversharpened.
Otherwise I can't think of anything to say that's helpful.
*goes back to staring and gaping*
Katie}

Rachel these are beautiful .

[pimp]Okay let me start off by squeeeeing

DUDE I LOVE YOUR BLENDING SKILLS

I was staring at this for like 10 minutes! It's SO well done!!

Your blends are just droolworthy. SERIOUSLY!!!

and I LOVEEEE that you try so many different things for your banners!!!!!!
they are FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!

this is my favorite banner in your gallery!

hmmmm critique...:/ there's nothing much to say for critique except
you could increase the contrast for this
and the only graphic I was unsure of was this?
I guess I'm not used to seeing the little boxes? o.O it seemed a bit random to me but maybe that's just personal But i'd decrease the opacity or maybe duplicate it desaturate and set it as soft-light?? so that the color clash/difference isn't so blatant

xx
eunice

That song collision thinger is AMAZING.

And so is your gallery, incidentally. I adore your blends, they're the beautiful! I can't wait to see more!

lizzyloo: thank you!
cootie7: aww thank you sweetie
goodbyetoyou: thanks hun! and ill watch out for oversharpening
silvershadow07: thanks!
xiahzeuni: thanks eunice! i really appreciate the long pimp
AshBeanNun: thank you! and i know, that song is incredibleee

OMG your blends and your sigs make me pee my pants. I can't get over them. Your use of exclusion or whatever it's called is breathtaking. And that last Gaspard blend is absolutely fantastic, soooooooo original. I'd say the white one is a bit too plain for my liking. Or maybe just punch up the coloring a little bit, then it would be zomg hot. And your text is hot, fer serious. I want your gallery.
