I'd say it kicks the shit out of my old one after I've came back and learned some stuff.

Rate/Hate/Masturbate

Hey, at least I'm learning. It may still not be that great, and it was really fast, but I'm taking steps and that's all that matters.

i wanna Masturbate :P lol its much better than the older one but the end of the barrel on the gun its very choppy, that's the render so if you did it yourself then clean that up otherwise its good, try using some brushes or grads to blend the render into the background :)

Thanks for the feedback. I'll work on that and produce another.

Oh and the end of the barrel was like that on the render. I noticed it too, I was like, WTF?

I didn't exactly know what you meant, but I cleaned up his knee and the gun as little.

[GoF]

Nice. Although the gun looks a tad bit choppy.

[Rikje]

it look oke,, but indeed, the gun is a little bit crap(the silencer). :)
Blending Option fzw?:P

Background too plain.

Get rid of the outer glow on the render (the army man), then duplicate that layer, and filter -> blur -> motion blur (Angle of 0, blur of 20-40 pixels), and put the duplicated blurred layer, behind the army man.

Then duplicate the army man layer about 4 more times, motion blur them all (with a sloping angle, like this \ ), with like 50-80 spread of pixels, and move them so they cover the background. Then merge all those layers together (ctrl + e for merge down) and motion blur that whole layer (with a sloping angle, like this \ ). Sharpen that layer you just motion blurred, and create a new layer ontop. Do some nice brushing on it, set to soft light, and bam, you got a nice background that your render blurs into.

Wow PS Genius. I'll try this out when I get home (on vacation now).

Looks much better than your old sig, and I also agree that the lines need to be smoothed a bit.

[IEatJ00erBaybees]

Sp0rk, your suggestion didn't work for me, it made it really distorted, I must have done something wrong. Oh well.

[HyperSecret]

lol what sp0rk-eh had suggested is a good way for people to start with getting backgrounds...here is an example of what he meant...

i made the hulk HUGE and used his fist and part of his face and blended them together with some blur and such

[IEatJ00erBaybees]

You mean the BG is his fist and head?

[coo too]

You might not like what I'm about to say. I like your old one more lol.

The thing about the sig is that its too plain first off, Secondly you might want to get a better render of a picture, and make the text more florescent to the background:) It'll look much better if its like a green text with black lining, thats that I'd do if I was you.
