More accurate tools will produce more accurate results I agree. However the Color Balance tool will simply add a tint on top of whatever image you have, which is useless if you're trying to recolour an image that uses more than one colour, Hue/Saturation can at least be applied to selections in a layer, rather than the entire layer (granted you could divide the layer in to seperate layers because using Color Balance). I refuse to believe that Color Balance is 1000x 'more powerful' than Hue/Saturation in all scenarios, it's the equivalent of the 'Tint' tool in Flash. EDIT: Disregard this, I'm thinking of Color Overlay, I can't even find a Color Balance blending option. More accurate tools will produce more accurate results I agree.

Considering that it's a school project, not even for an art class, I really wouldn't worry too much about nit-picky details like light sources, so long as it looks good I highly doubt they will punish you for those things. I think it's looking great, the colours are nice and you have an overall good digital style, I look forward to seeing the remaining 23 pieces, if you decide to upload them!

Thanks for the comments! bq. I love how the Medic still has glasses on, even with inverted colors and such. xD Just to make things clear: I didn't invert any colours, all changes from the original images were done with Photoshop's brush tool, nothing else. bq. Do you mind if I use the soldier as my avvy? Go ahead, these are free for everyone to use if they want. bq. What about Sniper and Engineer? I finished these but they had text on them and I forget to save them without, any classes that are not on the first post I will hopefully eventually remove the text from them and add them here :).
