i downloaded paint.net tonight and started messing around and reading a few tuts, and this is what i came up with

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if anyone would like to give me a few pointers on what i did wrong or would just like to comment please do

I rather like the first one. The only thing I would suggest different is making that blur on the right side go past the edge of the picture.

 

 

 

The second one is pretty simple; I like.

 

 

 

And the last one looks like a psychedelic couch cushion. Not really my style.

 

 

 

Good work nonetheless!

yeah the third one was one of my firsts and i kind of over-did it :?

Paint.net FTW?

First one is the exploding planet tutorial? I read that one and made a planet myself. Good job, the last one is kinda blurry.

yeah i loved the planet tut, took me a few tries to get used to all the tools but my final product wasnt too bad, not like some of the posters under the tut unfortunately, they look alot better

 

 

 

and the last one i know isnt too good, probly shouldve re-did it, i think i tried to use too many tools and ended up cluttering it

got a little crazy with this one
