maybe smooth out the shades of the character render

how do I do that? or more precisely.. what exactly do you mean? I made her a bit "darker" because the BG colours are also dark here .. (and tried to remove the feathers and the "Gotwoot.net")

what kind of tool should I (or do you) use for smoothing?



looks a bit empty in my opinion but maybe it's just me who thinks so

I can't place the render any further to the left, because the render doesn't "allow" it... her black wing ends exactly at that point

Ok I guess I'm not skilled enough or it was a mistake that I didn't save a version before I put in the render :/

Or maybe Gimp can't do it the way... I tried to find a tool which makes the render faint a bit into the background but both the smude and blurring tool make it look somewhat weird.

I woudn't mind if someone shows me how they'd do it though
well here are 2 version

the first is mainly the version before just a bit brighter...



seems like here is my limit for the moment, sry :/
if anyone really thinks it's worth improving or wants to use it, then go ahead
as I said I wouldn't mint it if someone shows me what you mean

I didn't mean to make the render darker. I like the previous brightness more.

What I meant by smoothing it out is use the blur tool or the smudge tool to let the shades blend with the flat colours. It'll help make the image look more in sync with the more realistic BG.

Oh, I thought the image was placed on there. Nevertheless, some smoothing and other quirks would do the trick. As for the emptiness, you could place another Rozen Maiden character on there, though only one comes to mind when I think of "dark".
