I was going to write a detailed critique but I guess everything was said above. Your bgs are to dark for the render and what seyeko said they really dont provide much flow, try finding a render which has a movement to it so you can go from there. Keep it up!

My turn to critique :evil:
I sorta see what you're trying to do, and can tell you haven't quiet gotten the technique correctly. It looks slapped on which is your problem. Notice the renders sweater color, its a way different color than whats in the background, making it look like it doesn't belong. also that C4D looks like it was just put behind the render and left alone Poor C4D. Another thing I want to point out, look at the guys face, you can see theres a big light difference from the left and the right side of its face. Try adding that to your BG a bit, use a soft brush or even a curves layer to help with the lighting. Its not that I'm just pointing out the bad things to make you feel like crp and give up and think you'l never get it and become a failure at everything in life. lol Suggestion for this render type would be probably not to resize it so it fits exactly in the canvas, maybe just so you can see the arms and the head and thats it. So just fix the background, or maybe even get a picture of a skatepark and make that your background, try to get it to look like it belongs in the picture.Everything has to look like it belongs there. Add a few fractals, might help you get some lighting in this tag. A few gradients and other adjustments, help them blend a bit. Quick tip, control(command) + u will help you change the hue of a anything, that way you can try and get a C4D to get the colors around the render to make it belong. Erase some of what doesnt belong. Don't worry about the text for right now. Keep practicing and trying out new techniques and ideas until you finally get the hang of it and provide some of your own styles into it

Would a PSD pack help you learn? So you can see what I mean by most of this and how you can get a certain effect? lol

holy shit, you just write an essay o.O Erm, i get what you're saying and i am trying to improve on this but its hard being a noob aha.. hopefully i am improving :p.

If you could send me one that would be really awesome! Would help me soo much .

Makes me look as if I know my shit :carling:

Btw this was my very first tutorial I watched, if anyone remembers my pacman sig this is what I used lol (use more than 15 minutes )
Sure its shit but I loved them and made me want to keep making them.

Try it out

And Im only linking mine because I think it provides a neat example of blending and flow with the batman and the nazi fish tags. Make sure to click the hide layers so you see how it helps with the making lol
