Are you playing on toaster?
Low texture quality and there is no AA in Source Engine game...
When it comes to font, different is not always better. Try to stick to a more appealing font as well as ramping up your quality settings, if just for the picture.
Hey if you want to know the font name, I think it's Coolvetica

Yes it is, best of all, it's free

What are you playing at? Calling me Dumb when it's like my first time doing this stuff. Give me a break! Unless your that idiotic type that likes to automatically call a new comer Dumb straight off. How selfish and Dumb can that be?
Besides, you're needing to be a bit more careful then careless shall I point out.
don't get so worked up about ratings, instead focus on constructive criticism
e.g what nick nack said
Pros:
-It says Garry's Mod
Cons:
-Horrible quality
-Horrible font choice
-'Made by' is illegible and far too large.
-Image 2's colours are far too fucking bright.
-Alex vance shouldn't be posed like that.
-Shouldn't this go into the 'screenshots' section?
Overall Rating:
(taking into account that you're a newbie)
0.3/10
Making a "nice" background (i mean wallpapers that you want others to see and comment on) isn't always as straightforward and simple as posing something and taking a picture.
Things to take note:
Composition
Lighting and toning
Target Audience
Unity
Space
Start out something simple like what i did with mine:

Mind you that it take's time to get to know how you people actually treat one another, but following that I don't play much of 'Garry's Mod' you should actually still respect new comer's in a way of work.
That is how you make friends, also to make the forums more friendly in the sake that Garry would actually be somehow delighted to have his forum more better, otherwise how would you like it if say I was you? Think about it and also on top think of how other people would feel coming to a forum to share their greatness in actually sharing the stuff they do to you.
By now I'm guessing that your starting to think more sense then non-sense.
Just another point to prove. Making a forum friendly only make's things better for the actual owner that put his mind and hands into working to creating such a great game, like Garry's mod for you to enjoy and play with friends.

But the thing with taking picture's as of my other work I do you should see here shown below.

But surely, you would rather members of a forum criticise your work, and tell you how to improve, and not just say "Cool! everything is perfect! 10/10"?

Yeah, But there are way's of saying stuff without the harsh side to it. Simple.
Like for example, "Nice, But you could do with a bit more of that" You see, less harsh side also more helpful.

Nice, but you could do with cleaner fonts, compositions that follow the golden ratio and no filter rape.
(by the way, we don't say that something is nice if we don't think it is, which is why nobody said so, because they really aren't. You've thrown random fonts on generic heavily off-centered screenshots you made in Gmod with colour filters applied to them, they are not very appealing to the eye and would not work very well for a background because the placement of the characters disregards where the menu goes when you use it as a background)

But as of the first time, you would rather someone do something as work then anything right?
lazyness is a lack of greatness in life, where as still putting effort into something is rather much enjoying to actually see.
Point being, if you do have children or in future wanting to have children, would you want to see them be a lazy ass bum and no good for nothing? or would you want them to still be doing "Something" and even still show you work they done even though they are new to it?
Your english is completely butchered.
Don't just post something because you did it. Keep working, but show us a work you're proud of or believe you've done your very best with, don't just post whatever little thing you did.

I didn't that's the thing. Plus I may not have the best in english, but then again I suffer a thing with English since I was really young.. So mind the poor-ish English.
It's not in the right section. And it doesn't even deserve a thread for sure. It's like posting a
[code]<html><body>Hello world</body></html>[/code]
in the web developement section.
What do you expect?

what the fuck does this have to do with anything. the criticism everyone has given you is perfectly correct, stop acting like a stuck up victim. we can be "harsh" if we think it'll help you, we don't have to sugarcoat it whatsoever. plus, you posted it in the wrong section, it should go [url=http://facepunch.com/forumdisplay.php?f=198]here[/url] and it doesn't even deserve a thread.

Even if it don't, your just one who likes to have things perfect.. How freakish.
Sorry for wanting to make sure the forums I spend quite a bit of time on isn't cluttered up with bullshit like this. It's not "freakish" to expect people to know where to post, and even if they don't they shouldn't act entitled and argue that they don't deserve the dumb ratings. Your background is dumb, this thread is dumb. I didn't want to get involved at first because you seemed like every other new guy who makes a mistake, but then you started arguing with the people who tried to give you criticism.

I usually hate people being harsh, but this time I want to act harsh just as you deserve. I am surprised that people actually gave you criticism to your 1 minute ragdoll poses on gm_construct with ms pain style editing. The people acted way friendlier then they should have, and you still don't like it?

Because none of us made anything like this when we first started playing Garry's Mod, right?
Seriously, I remember when most of the population of Facepunch actually tried to help people.
Granted this isn't towards some of the people in this thread, but most of you need to calm the fuck down half of the time.
(This still stands, even though the OP is a dumbass.)
