These tags always give me trouble (smudging on a stock) I usually try to render the stock out then smudge the background and then apply the render...the small spot to the left of his face that isnt smudge sticks out. Great smudging though and lighting. Very nice work, maybe a little b/c adjustment layer and darker around the perimeter...but its fine the way it is. Great work!
I love it. Great colors, and great lighting. The dude is pretty cute too. I like the simplicity of it too. The hole thing reminds me of skiing.
I don't care if it's whored. I think it's awesome. I also need to learn how to smudge like some of you beasts can.
