I need critiques

[Gizelita]

Well, I've been gone from this site for a few months and I've been working on my graphic editing skills so that when I came back I could be a better artist. Here is some of my work and I'd appreaciate any critics you offer me.

Re: I need critics

I really like these. Your style is very good.
I think you have a good sense of colour and of flow in your tags. I dont think you can really add much to your style to improve it.

Text kills almost every piece.
MONOTONE
Cluttered / busy in a lot of spots
A lot of them lack focal points

^ pretty much that.

Relax on your effects. Make your foreground and background distinct, not a big heaping cluttery mess.

Try new things with stock placement. You seem to like shoving them into the corner/side and putting the text in a huge size to compensate for lost space. Trust me when I say this: negative/white space is very good if you learn how to utilize it.

Clean your type. Not everything needs it, either.

That's really all I have to say. Look up some tuts too, lots to learn on that thar web when it comes to artsy fartsy stuffs.

They could be good, just need a tad bit of cleaning up. You have style you just need to define it.

I'm so glad you answered this, I really was having a hard time noticing what was wrong with the tags. Thanks for the help, I'll try to work out what you've pointed here and become a better artist.

I've made two more and I wondered if I could get a few opinions on them:
