Howdy TeeFurians,
Recently I have returned to the daunting world of Photoshop, a world I left some time ago out of sheer busyness. I started out doing photo manipulations (albeit very bad ones) which I found was a great way to pick up a diverse range of techniques quickly.
I have been a fan of TeeFury for a few months now but I only recently (1 week ago in fact) realized that many of the designs I have admired on here were actually submitted by fellow TeeFurians. I love this idea of a community supporting itself and so thought I may as well contribute and exercise my creative legs while I'm at it.
The result is the images you see below; my first three designs. I'll be taking a break from Photoshop for a few days now but I would love some feedback on them, so fire away.
Also, I have been taking a largely "ignorance is bliss" approach to the technical side of things with regards to my designs. I dread to consider whether any of them are actually printable. So I have some questions:
1) What resolution should I be working with? Is there a 'too high' or 'too low'?
2) What is this talk I hear about lpi and printer frequency?
3) Copyright, do any of mine cut it too closely?
Cheers, U18.

Thanks, I'm not too worried about getting answers about the technical stuff, I'm probably getting a bit ahead of myself there. I'm more focused on developing my designs at the moment and enjoying the process.
Wha... when did that happen?
1. There's no too high or low when you're working with vectors which you appear be. However when you are uploading your work (if your submission has been accepted) it states on the upload page the image "Must be 300 dpi or a vector file - Max size 14 x 17 in."
2. An lpi of 47 and a frequency of 1,337 terahertz. Sorry, no, I made that up. I've not heard of specific lpi requirements for Teefury. Some weeks ago Jimiyo (a Teefury staffer) said
3. Not that I can see. However, I think I am correct in saying Teefury have shied away from some material in the past because of copyright infringement concerns in the past. As a rule of thumb, if you are blatantly copying something that's wrong, if you are creating an original work that's a parody that's usually ok.
Also, an update on the bear:
It's the bear found floating in Walter's pool after the air collision he caused. Lucy is a fictional name I added to try and create a more personal link to the object, I chose it because it's an innocent sounding name belonging to an obviously young girl who might have been in the crash.
