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
