My last conker retextured pack I admit sucked, but I gotten alot better with Conker's BFD texturing, here's an example of it.

Wow, just what we need. Another avid filter abuser.

Its just that if filtering is used too much, then it is very notisable. It also doesnt show that you are an artist. Try cutting down on fitering.

When I retexture, I hardly filter my work. If I do filter, I only ad a lens flare effect. Sure there are great filter effects, but you can make better effect without them. I also use bevel and embos effect to add depth to some of my work.

Except for Conker's hands, I actually thought the filters worked really well. It gave Conker's fur a furry look, and his shirt actually resembled real cloth. Although both look too similar as well.

It looks like you killed the transparency of the fence texture too. Applying filters is all right except when it comes to things with transparency. I normally make a mask of the unfiltered texture stretch it then edit curves and corners so they are as sharp and curved as needed.
Next I use a bicubic or lanzcos3 to stretch the image to the new dimensions. Edit it as needed to make it look like a hiresolution texture (ussually apply a filter first then begin adding details afterward light wide guassian filtering is good to smooth large regions that should be smooth but not the fine details). Finally I apply the mask to the whole thing and that cuts out the area I retextured, then resave with the transparency sections intact (because I trimed those off). You don't get the weird fuzzys areas bleeding into transparent areas that way.

The textures look sandy like a beach. Again, you need to try limiting the use of filters.

Google+layer blending>all the filters that are even mildly useful for retexturing.
