So I was procrastinating form writing the next chapter of "Valley of the Deluge" and I decided to make this..... well I don't know what to call it actually, so I'll call it a poster for now. Here it is:

It's supposed to be underwater, btw (in case you couldn't tell ;) )
Does anybody like it?
Very good idea, but it's too wide fora poster and the text could stand to be more... water-y...
That's cool how the pages are floating around underwater.
Maybe you'd want to make the papers and tittle more like, wavy, and add a tint of blue to emphasize that they're underwater.

I did. They used to be a lot brighter.
How about this?

I added some mountains in the background too.
Well the mountains don't need snow on them but yeah it's better.
That's awesome! Much better than the first. The waviness makes it work.

Well you don't need to be so picky....
Lol I said it was good.
I didn't mean it like that.
That is very well done. The blue tint and greater refraction helped it out a lot.
I've just added some softglow for a isolated effect:

Oooohh... Artful...
Looks even better.
Now all you have to do is change that text <_<

What is that supposed to mean?!
As I mentioned earlier, the text is garishly outstanding (and not outstanding in the good way, I mean it just stands out). Good text can make or break a piece.
?!
The text is not supposed to blend in. It is simply a label. I just Added the Hylian beneath it for effect.

text is not a label, it is a part of a piece. If that had better text, it could probably pass as a screenshot from a game. As it is, it looks very amateur. Sorry, but that's constructive criticism for you. Why not look up some typography tutorials? What program do you use?
Well, I'm currently using Gimp for basically everything.I'd just like to let you know, I'm not getting mad or anything, I just don't really know what to do to make the text better. Perhaps I can PM you the picture without text later today, you can do whatever with it, then tell me how you did it so I know for the future? pleaseee?

Sure, just send me the .xcf.
I thought the text was pretty fitting.
If you can, it ocurred to me that maybe you can make the letters look like stone or metal, so they would appear as ruins
