its really gray/foggy imo :/ kinda messy too. i think if you neaten up the splatter a bit and give it a good difference between the bg and the render/effects it will look cleaner
Like others have said, it is a little messy. A background that's less busy would make it look better.
I personally think the background goes well/matches the effects well. Maybe they're just over contrasted or something but the lighting on the sides of his face feel too strong for this tag. Maybe burn them down or adjust the contrast. Maybe use a different splatter in the top middle because it's the same as the one below it. It is kind of messy but in the end, I'm really liking the result. The stripped splatters are real fresh. Good beans.
NICE JOB! the brushes are cool and the whole packet, i think it looks awesome, its lil bit oldschool, thats a hot style! where do you got those brushes from?! *thumbs up*
I like it as well. The messy bg goes well with the render. The striped splatters are cool. ^_^ Maybe just work on your focul a bit and contrast. Bare Canvas quality tag.
I like v1 the most. But like others have said, the splatter effects are good but my only complaint is how it is hard to distinguish the render between the BG
