Title: First Fanmade Edit

Image Editing.  Simply, you take an image from a show/movie and edit it.  It must be one of the easiest things to do, or so you think until you try it. :D

Anyways, here's my first fanmade edit.

I took this image:

and made it into this:

Yeah, I suck at hearts. :P:

So, what do you think? :)

Easy to do, very difficult to do well.
The big thing I'd suggest is to get rid of the white border around LF and Ali and blend the heart in more seamlessly with the characters.  I'm sure you could find a heart graphic somewhere (or even a font with a heart in it somewhere) to use if you have trouble drawing hearts.

Pretty easy to make the graphic with no white at all in Photoshop.  I do realize how some people arn't able or willing to go pay $400 for a program.  I could redo this quite easliy if you wouldn't mind me taking your idea Pokeplayer.  And the heart could easily be found on google.  I'm afraid I have no idea how to get rid of 100% of the white background using any other program except photoshop. :(

I've done stuff like this in Paint/Game Maker before. It's just a painstakingly slow process.

You did quite well for not having photoshop Pokeplayer. :yes


Now see the punch that Photoshop packs:

White Background:

No background at all:

It really helps when ya have the right programs.  Total time making it was about 10 minutes. :)

Thanks for the edit, LBTlover. :^.^: I only have MS Paint to work with, so I'm quite limited to what I can do. :(

Anyways, let's take Manny Cav's little idea now... :D
