Description
FIRST OF ALL!!!!!the bg is NOT set in stone. please, if anyone has any good ideas on that, for the love of GOD tell me. NONE of the photoshopping is permanent.
secondly, look! *points* look at all the lens flares i DIDN'T put in! there was Sakura's jewelry, and Sasuke's mask, and their HAIR..........and i remained firm in my resolve to keep the flares to a minimum. XD
thirdly, here go the mad props. *big deep breath* blood spattery pattern on the left is Coffee Accident brush set by . background fractal is Abstract3 brush set by with accents from Fractal Brush Pack 01 by . "Team 7" text is a free font called Harting, "Only the strongest" text is Samarkan (i think it's a free font, too). the 'filler background' is the "Swirl" filter from the Alien Skin Photoshop Filters pack.
artist notes: i think Sakura's eyes turned out best, but i adore Sasuke's hair =_=.........and Naruto's threads are to die for. I
*for those just joining us, these are renderings of the three main chars as they appear in my fandom, age 17*

"Blow Me Away" © Breaking Benjamin

p.s. i put this in wallpaper size first just for fun. this is a LESS THAN HALF-SIZE rendering of the pic (remember, i drew it at 2000x2000). if you guys would like, i can make a more 'pure' version, with less extra space, but slightly bigger to show more detail. if more than one person (*glares at lex*) asks, i will post 'portrait versions' (head and shoulders, or torso if you prefer) of the three figures, which will be at FULL resolution
p.p.s. that green checkmark at the bottom? that says i welcome ADVANCED CRITIQUE, not flames, not slams, not whiny complaints. if you have nothing that will help me make the picture better ("delete it!" doesn't count as helpful), then
EDIT!
i just noticed a spot on the background that is DEFINITELY from the Dark Nebula brush set, also from .
UPDATE
forgot to mention here; there are four full-res versions of the pic now: full-size red , full-size blue , wallpaper-size red , and wallpaper-size blue .

Oh yeah, I forgot!
Nice team picture! You did a good job of adding them into the original picture. Smooth. That is some awesome shading on all three. I really like it. It's very subtle and gradual. I'll have to look at your tutorial more closely for pointers.
One final thing (while I babble on like an idiot): where are Sakura's feet placed?
Ha ha! Sasuke's the shortest! ^__^
thanks for the great wallpaper! yoink!

feet? she, uh....doesn't have feet, yeah! NO! she's, uh....she's using a camouflage jutsu on her feet! XD
and yes indeedy, Sasuke is the shortest member of Team7. if i ever make progress on the main fic, you'll see that Neji's actually shorter and scrawnier (sasuke calls him a 'stuck-up stick figure,' lol....)

yay yay!
Me likey! good color choices and contrasts. Personally, I think Sasuke's hair is awesome. Colored perfectly, highlights and all. The metal layers turned out really well.
Few random questions:
Did you try this with the white version of the coat too? (just a random thought, I think the black works better than the white would)
Is there any particular reason you brightened the outline on Naruto's jacket? (This is comparing it to the posted 'Only the Strongest: Dark') Did it make the picture look darker or off or something when you left it like it was? Or is it because of the lens flares? It strikes me as a bit off and I think it's because the bottom left of the jacket (if you are facing it) needs another lens flare because of Sasuke's arm guards. (more lens flares! ^__^) But I'm not 100% certain. What do you think?

*blinkblink*
no, actually, i never thought to try it on the white. i could; all i'd have to do is condense Sakura and Sasuke and paste them in.
i think the lightened outline comes from Sasuke's lens flares. yeah, we could do without the flare on the jacket, tho, i thinks. that's okay tho, cuz (as i said in the descrip) i can change all of the effects (lineart & color is harder to change). planning to take a peek at it again when i've had a little more input.

(ah! you put writing on his froggy scroll! XD)
(i dunno, i think we coulda withstood another few lens flares, hehe. hm, the layout makes sakura's nose look a little crooked, eh? can you still fix that? also, i guess that Samarkan font is okay, but i preferred the Fountain Pen Frenzy look.)
(and stop glaring at me! XD yes, i definitely want you to do portrait versions. you went to all that trouble, and they've been resized so much that we can't see it.)
