Thank you both so much!
I really appreciate it!

FOURTH! Or third, maybe, since one of the replies was from you. I think I'll take third, though does that mean I've got a hairy chest? Maybe fourth would be better, I don't think there's a rhyme for that.
But moving on! Congratulations on the promotion. Enjoy being a junior, the new colour looks great on you!
I'm dismayed to see that you've only got a few graphics in your gallery at the moment and I can't wait to see some more soon. I really like your use of text, it's looking pretty damn awesome from where I'm sitting. Biggest criticism I've got is the lack of graphics in here. Make some more soon and fill your gallery up! 
I'm looking forward to it, and I'll probably come and take another look soon to make sure you're making plenty of scrumptious graphics. And I promise I'm not being a creepy stalker.
Congrats again!

Hi I'm Brooke. I'm here for the gallery critique you requested.
You seem to do very well with monochrome coloring w/ colored people,
maybe try some new coloring though, that way you could color an entire
graphic... you do this well with sigs and icons, just extend that to your
banners really. Also, your text doesn't seem to really fit your graphics
well, try looking in the popular fonts thread for some new fonts, they
could really improve your graphics.
your quite a history banner is lovely, I love how her eyes seem to glow.
You seem to have a bit of an issue with blending, your hard cuts are just
a bit too harsh/jagged. Be careful for that. I think mostly you need to
experiment with coloring and text and be careful when you're blending.
Other than those things your gallery is lovely.
Thanks Brooke! Your critique and comments were a great balance.
I really appreciate everything you said and I'll work on what you suggested!
Thanks so much!!

Hi there Maggie, I'm here in response to your critique thread.
Banners
You're doing quite nicely with these, your compositions are pretty good overall. One main thing to watch out for is your text, as it seems to be bringing them down. The text here is lovely, and it's a great banner overall, it's well placed, sized and the fonts seem to suit the colouring well. Where it's not so good is here. That's a huge amount of text to put on, and it looks crammed. Honestly, I would take that banner out, as there are problems with text, image quality, compostion and blending. It's nowhere near as good as your other stuff. As a final note, when putting saturated people onto a black and white (or any monochromatic) background, up their brightness/contrast so they stand out against it.
Signatures
Again, you're doing well with these, I really like the colouring of this, but again watch for text! Like here, the text is far too big and overwhelming; sometimes less is more.
Icons
It may sound obvious, but always start with the highest quality images possible, as I think here image quality is the main thing bringing them down. On this set, all the icons are very blurry, they could definitely use some sharpening.
Anyways, I hope this helps a little and wasn't too harsh. Keep up the good work!
Wow! Thank you so much for everything!
The critique was very much appreciated and I think that I'll definitely attempt to follow
all the advice you've given!
Thanks again!

Heya! Just wanted to say hi! I love your paramore sig and your blend. They're really good. Coloring is awesome
EE! and your Cinderella icons are cute, too.
I would say watch out for too much texture over faces, like in your first banner, Alexis' face looks a little off because of the intense texture on her face, whereas Jensen looks more toned down.
Also, in your 'Lost in the Past' banner, the girl's chin is cut off, which is something you should never do, it makes the person look awkward.
Besides those two things, everything looks great! (Likin the gallery title, I <3 Motion City!)

Wow! Thanks so much for your critique!
I will definitely look out for chopping off people's chins, I didn't even realize I'd done that!
And the texture, I'll be sure to watch out for that as well lol
Thanks so much for the comment, I really, really appreciate it!
And it's awesome to find out how many people besides me big motion city!

You left me the best comment ever so I thought I'd return the favour!
First things first, I love your gallery a lot. I think I may have drooled on my laptop. Oops.
Hmm, where to start?
First of all the Cinderella icons are naturally amazing because disney is amazing. The one of the mouses is my favourite! I really like how the colours seem to pop, they're lovely. Your icon colouring is verrrrry nice indeedy.
Gah, I love the variety here. Your sigs are really lovely and I think the paramore one is a great idea I love the colouring in the 'Prince Charming' sig and the vintage one has a really lovely effect. I think my favourite is the one you are using as your signature.
Okay, last but definately not least, BANNERS!
*Drowns in green envy*
I'm so jealous of your mad banner skills right now. I'm squeeing over this and this and this. They are so beautiful.
You are incredibly talented, the variety and skill here is awesome. YOU are going to go places! Keep on making beautiful graphics!
(Random I know, but I just wanted to use the pirate emoticon. He's pretty cool. Captain cool in fact. Okay, I'll be quiet now.)
Edit: Sorry I couldn't comment on the blend, my computer is very old and slow so it takes forever to load, I'm sure it's lovely though.
