So i worked on this in between my study time today (i have exams coming up)
and i think i came out with a pretty good result, if theres anything i can work on CnC is largely appreciated and will help to improve my results in the future :)

Let me know what you think and if theres anything i can work on better
(anyone wanna help me with text? i can never get anything other than something small and basic hahah)

i tried really hard on depth, blending and colour because those were my 3 major downfalls in my last attempts...i think i may have made her a little bright though, dont really know how to fix her individually because the burn tool isnt working >.>


Also tried to fix the colours using the multiply effect suggested as CnC

It's good. But yeah, the text and it's placement and color (needs to flow with the sig/avatar)
I can vm you although I'm not that good >_>
Good luck on your exams!

Doesn't relate to the rest of the tag...colorwise.</div>

Its a bit better, and I can see you are starting to head in the right direction but there is a little too much blur. When using blur try just blurring non focal points, and if the burn tool isn't darkening the render how you want it try duplicating the render and set it to multiply. Then carefully erase little bits(like where the light source would hit the render) and lower the opacity a little bit(if needed) hope this helps.

Looking better. When you are done with the exams let's work a bit on text (I read a tut for text and I think we both can learn a lot from it). And perhaps next time I can help you with GFX when it's not between 12:00 PM and 4:00 AM your time xd

Some points you could improve without my help:
-the light is coming from the wrong place. When you look at the shadows in the render you can see the shadows are behind her, but the light is also coming from the back.
-it's more blended this time, but not enough. I tried to look for a tutorial for you:

I dont like it that much :/

The bg is ugly...is just a C4D pasted there, and looks bad but creates some flow (good work on that ^^)
The render isnt well blended.
No depth, and no focal.
The text is bad, you should have done a version without text ;)
And it all looks lq :/

Well better work next time ^^ I know youl do it right next time :)

did my best to add depth with blur, maybe didnt do it right o_O

the bg is actually 3 different images blended, not 1 c4d file,

i agree i should have made a textless version ahaha but im not sure how to remove text from the 'apply image' layer without just smudging it all over...

as for quality, im not sure, perhaps it was the techniques but everything looked pretty good on my computer o_O

that blending tut is actually one i tried to use in this sig...but when i went to do the motion blur for the BG it just never looked right, i thought it mightve been the render i picked but i tried it with a couple and nothing looked right...:confused:
maybe il have to go thru it with u on another render to see if i can fix the blending problems cause it didnt look right when i did it :shrug:

That tut probably doesn't suit the style of sig you made and thats more than likely why it won't come out right. Here is a link to a very basic way of blending its not the best way but its a good place to start. Motion blur isn't the easiest way to go about blending your render more than anything it just takes practice.
