the render blending needs a lot of work
the bg looks too chaotic and muddy, needs more contrast.
don't use white lighting, its pretty boring
the colours don't look very thought out
most times, simpler the better

O someone actually did give cnc thank you not quite sure what contrast means and ill be honest this next attempt I did was before I seen your post
but Ill try to work on what you said!



made this aswell though I scrapped it cuz I thought it didn't look very good but it is imo less chaotic then the other ones I made






I didnt use soft light as a light source I just used a blue paintbrush on low opacity and then clicked where I wanted the light to come from then used a white one that was slightly smaller and then used inner glow

and alright I'll try to brighten up my next signature

Two quick things:
1. Don't simply use a soft light as a light source.
2. It is way too dark.

I would just read some tutorials. I'll find some and then post them.

Im going to do the tut you showed me when I got some time

but figured id go back and see if I could fix the darkness and make the light source not so apparent

biggest problem is it looks over sharpened when it's brighter and I didn't even sharpen it lol
