so what do u guys think? ill prolly play with the background pattern a bit...idk. again, dont hold back lol im a noob at this

Wow~ it was plain but good one~

Ummmm... I'm not good with image editing, but i think it looks great.

It looks quite good, the character is perfectly cut out (usually people don't do a great job with that).
I only have 2 things that I would change a bit:
- The background seems too busy, although since you don't have many things is not a big problem
- The curvy black line is a little blurry and seems to be cutoff on the left end, and missing a bit on the top curve, it looks too flat on that section...

Great start nonetheless. My first attempts with PSP or PS where just awful.
