You should try adding lighting to the render, it's a little too dark.

[Itzdesire]

What do you mean with lighting?
Lightning render/background or lightning effect from photoshop itself.
This good?

[Aclaw]

Yeah, a little better then before. But you should also shorten down the size of your text and bring it closer to the focal.

ok top one i like the bg a lot more
but the white pentool lines gotta go imo
they are too outa place and distracting
but you still need to bring in some foreground effects to add more depth
the flow is alil sloppy but again foreground and back ground effects can help with that
lighting like it was already stated before
ok since the axe is acting like a dbl focal you have to bring light out more to bring the attention to him since hes the main focal of the piece
blend the axe in more but not too much so you lose it into the bg

bottom one
smudge tech is something that needs a lot practice to master
esp if the whole piece and compo are the smudge
you need to create depth flow and efx using the smudge
this means tons of layers and adjustments
one way to create depth with smudge is start the bg smudge with a soft brush
alil on the bigger side start ur flow here as well
then slowly work into harder brushes smaller sizes sharpen and blur areas
add shadows using the dodge and burn tool
and hopefully that helps

lol its still like 100 times better anything i ever made : o what are those wireframe's? with a c4d bg?

[XxXAlucardXxX]

ok the the motion blur way to blend in a render works but not in all cases esp when using a bg like the one you picked
when you try to add an anime render to a real life stock its all about blending and lighting to make it look like the render is meant to be there
one sec let me see if i have something to show to explain it more

and yeah its one bg the light areas
then c4ds over that
the render and wireframes
