Dusting off the old photoshop..

[Pukka]

Soooo i decided to install photoshop again after a vast amount of time.. im quite rusty and ive lost my epic set of brushes.. What do you think?
PS.. DO NOT mention anything about the text... i suck at text lol!

I don't see how the background fits in with the render at all.

Two colours where taken to produce the background. Both from the render.. (Her skin)

I still don't see any... Flow with it, you know, it just looks like you stuck the render on top of a random background.

Ahhh i understand now. This much is true, lack of inspiration i guess. I could have definitely tweaked with the photo and tried to blend it in. Thank you for the criticism.

It doesn't blend well, just looks like you slapped a render over some stock image (no offense).

Always good to see some activity in this section

[Pukka]

I actually made the background lol!

A common fault for people who are still in the beginning stages is to use brushes and go for a grungy feel most of the time. When done correctly it can be good, but for now I strongly recommend looking up some good tutorials and following them until you figure out the works. (Depth, Blend, Lighting, Flow, Text, etc.) In time you will improve massively, trust me. If it's something you're interested in, make the investment.
