My experience = made some stick-figure collages once with MS Paint before I realized that other macrophiles exist and REAL artists make GOOD pictures. I also have no idea what the limitations are of 'Gimp 2.0,' and will be talking based on what I know people can do with Photoshop.
So take this with a grain or two of salt.
I think this is a solid collage, and I'm more happy for seeing it. You have added to the sum total of pleasure in my life. Thank you. I'm only going to mention things that I think you could do to make it *better* and I will introduce them from most to least important.
1) The background is in sharper focus than the foreground models. Compare the lines around the nipples and the hair to the lines in the city. Where the models you want to impose aren't in terribly sharp focus, perhaps consider blurring background a bit.
2) The lines on the shadow are straight, as though the shadow were falling across a flat surface, when in fact it falls across a surface textured by a little city. The sort of patience that must go into that sort of detail seems intimidating to me, but that sort of detail is important. Without it, it seems like the models are posing in front of a *picture* of a city, not a city.
3) The shadow doesn't seem to match the lighting on the body... The shadow makes it seem like light is hitting her from the viewer's angle, but the light on her body looks like it's coming from center - above to me. It's a little detail that I can't articulate unless I'm looking for it, but I definitely pick it up subconsciously and think that something looks 'fake.'
4) This one is probably more controversial. In terms of content (this has nothing to do with the technical aspects of your image editing), I find that the most believable collages often involve some sort of interaction between giantess and micro. It's a hard sell you're making... you want my brain to believe the impossible and my brain knows going into this that you have, in fact, doctored this image. Once you've introduced this idea that a giantess exists, it seems in your best interest to reduce the 'surreal' factor in any other way you can. When I see two giantesses getting it on atop a little city, and they don't seem to acknowledge the little city, that seems even more surreal yet. On the other hand, this isn't too bad. I suppose if the giantesses are getting it on then there is good reason for them to not be interacting with the city at the moment. The models that really hurt are the ones posing and making 'model' faces that nobody really makes unless they're posing for glamour shots. I'm sure there are even collages I've seen where there was no interaction and it worked just fine. I can't think of any off the top of my head or I'd try to communicate some sort of distinction... Anyway, again this isn't a huge problem here anyway because I can see what would distract the giantesses here. (It's the cunnilingus).
Still, though, thank you for making this and I hope you keep at it!
