Hey! I've never done anything on photoshop or any other graphic program til now don't expect much, but I am looking for critques to perfect my future art. I plan on doing Lost character and cast art. So here's Serena's 1st-ever attempt at graphic art!

I also have Lost fanfiction here:
http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1661799/BlackWolf1480

I was going for an icy effect, hence the blue and white, and the stars are like snowflakes. It can be used as a banner or wallpaper.

My first attempt at avatars/icons:

Also, if anyone else uses Gimp 2 advice on using it will be most apprieciated.

Now that I've become more accustmed to Gimp2, thanks to tjmack, I've got some new stuff

This should clear up the debate of whether or not Charlie's making a return:

Banners: (meant for laughs, not to offend)

A Promotion Banner/Headliner thingamabob for my latest fic "Fate in a Nightmare":
