Right, so this is my first time uploading, and my first Manip... and my first caption. I really hope I'm doing all this properly. Wasn't sure what to tag the eyes (They ain't really empty) and I'm also unsure what to tag the method of MC (It's meant to be an ingested toxin, but 'poison' is for the character.) So... yeah. Any advice or criticism welcomed. I may or may not do more of this.

I haven't done a single caption so I'm far from an expert but I like this one. I do, however think the background and font could have been chosen better. It sort of fits but it also feels a little plain. I'm actually not too crazy about the manipper stamp but that's just me. Any-who I love the choice in image! I think that this would have looked incredible with a dazed expression.

BTW Am I the only one who likes doing dazed-look manips? Am I the only one who likes them at all?

Maybe I'll do a tutorial later just to see for sure.

No, you're not the only one who likes the Dazed expression, I just got a bug to do a manip, but I'm currently borrowing a computer and only have access to paint.net. The Font was pretty plain, but I wasn't sure what would fit better (I considered a cursive sort of writing, but abandoned it due to concerned about readability...) Anyway, I'd love to be talented enough to pull off a dazed expression, but even with PS it would take quite a bit of time to learn that I'm not sure I can afford to invest. I'd still love to take a look at that tutorial though.

lol. Why do you always expect people to do that? XD

Sure, I like a dazed expression every now and then, but I also like fully-opened eyes like in this pic. It makes things more varied too. That, and it just seems like so much work to do that.

I like the story of this, and you even managed to make the picture pretty nice in paint, too. Not a big fan of glasses, but that's just me.

Well, I don't always expect it. It's just that dazed-look/eye-rolls are my favorite type of manip(s). (It's similar to how you like empty eyes so much.) I also like variety but when an image seems that it'll really look good with an expression change I can hardly not want to see like altered to such. I know they tend to be a bit harder to make but I think it's effort well spent.

Also how the heck did I not notice this was Natalia! <3 No wonder I loved the choice in image!



As far as fonts go I think that something italic would have probably worked if you wanted to go for fancy. I'm glad you like the idea of a tutorial. I'll probably do one in the not too distant future if someone else doesn't beat me to it.
