my biggest problem is the gradient feels too strong in this, her skin has a very strange color to it, a nice part of this tut is the end result keeps the human color of his skin
the effects look fine, but the windows in the bg seem pretty bright, which doesn't really match the lighting on her so it is somewhat strange when i look closer
i'd also move the girl a bit to the right as well to get it away from the center




the render is oversharpened in this one, otherwise id say the bg and effects seem to flow much better compared to earlier
its definitely better in the color area as well, the yellow was too strong and now the colors work together






i'd go with the first one myself, i think this is a good result because the focal and flow are obvious and easy to follow and the effects don't really fight either of them.
the one weird part for me is the knight looking guy with the dog in the bottom left area, somewhat confused there, but i like the computer bg on the right

Ya, I liked the first better then the second. Render with easy flow = easy to work with :D
I made the effects on the arm O_o along with the other effect behind, which was a C4D I changed the colour on/liquified.
The entire rest is with the tutorial. I knew this Lab stock would come in handy. I tried to darken that weird dog/person thing to get it out but ya.. It's kind of distracting.

Thanks Phil for the Tutorial it was awesome :D

in the tutorial Phil cuts out an extra part because he didnt like how it was alone and added it to the right side, you can do this as well keep in mind, also clone stamping can make it easy to cover up weird stuff and fill it in quickly with something less obtrusive

Tried the clone stamp. Was alot of work, plus I might revisit this signature, or try another with the tutorial. I found another Stock/matching render to fit. @_@

Wonder if I should share some recourses I used, the star stocks that is. Plus they're very nice over all.

its definitely better, but there are some issues
imo its too bright, probably could tone it down some. vibrant colors are good but blinding brightness isnt
also a bit over sharpened and the hair is either badly rendered or just bad quality to begin with, its pretty obvious to my eye
i like the bg + render combo more in this compared to the first one

Ok so I fooled with it for a tad, didn't have a lot of time to spare with irl this evening. I went off of your suggestion to try locating a better stock background image of a ballroom scene from Disneys Beauty and the Beast, and this is was really the best one I could find. It just seems bland, not sure how to add what's missing...Maybe try again for a different bg tomorrow. Either that or something else, just gonna let that hinge on your next critique. :lol:






Ps~ Happy to say on a side note that I have been using about 90% non destructive methods so a ton of this sig is completely interchangeable.
