    Here it is


    [​IMG]
    I still need help with background and color choice

    basically i used the green as a full BG color, added some Vector Brushes, put on 2 C4Ds and made them color dodge after smearing them a bit (theres a yellow and a purple one, cant see them very well tho) I also added some black and white dots onto the brushes and smeared them. I added the first render and smeared it, then uncovered the 2ed render

    CnC plz, and dont just say "make it fit better, blend it" post HOW to do what I need to, because right now this one and my other 2 are about the max of my abilities.

    ALSO DONT SAY READ A TUTORIAL! I HAVE.

    Thank You =D

    You bet.
    That's one of the hardest things with CnC.
    It takes a lot of time to tell you "how" to do it specifically.
    That's why people make tuts. But I'll do my best. ^_^

    Ok,
    First things first. DO NOT skew your renders. It never, ever looks good.
    So when you resize your render, hold "shift". ;) That keeps the aspect
    ratio in proportion. ;)

    Ok,
    Second. Colors, bad colors. lol But that's ok. You'll get the hang of it. ^_^
    The red and green clash horrifically. Makes it look like some corny christmas
    pic. Try to use colors from the render. ;) That will make it look much better.

    Ok,
    Blending. With blending what you're trying to do is make the render look more
    a part of the sig than just a render placed "in front" of a background. ;) So the
    way to do this is, pick a nice effect c4d or something and use it to blend the render
    into the bg. Like for instance in this tag ->>[​IMG]

    The red effect on her shoulder makes it look cooler than if she was just sitting on top
    of a black background. ;) So that's one way to do blending (It's not like there's only a few
    techniques for this. Everyone's got they're own style, but you would be wise to learn from
    the p.ro's. Read tuts, that's how you learn to do new stuff and make it your own. ;) Read
    lots of tuts. ^_^) , another way to blend renders is with smudging. ^_^

    Smudging.
    Don't just smudge randomly in strange patterns. ;) Try to get some planned composition in there. ;)
    For instance, looking at Link in that pic, I would say try to get some smudging in there that follows
    the contour of his sword, but everywhere if that makes sense. :wacko:
    Anyway, maybe some good tuts on smudging from DeviantART or from here will help you with this. ;)

    Last but not least, lighting. :D
    Before you even start the tag, look at the lighting that already exists on the render. ;) That will
    help so much it's not even funny. On Link here, the light source should be on the top and right.
    See how the light's on that side of him? :D

    Ok,
    I hope that helps. ^_^
    You can also pm me with any questions. ;)

    Read a tutorial. People make them, and give away for free for a reason. Don't take that for granted, you douche. Go do tutorials... follow them word for word, and do lots. You don't really have any right to ask people to walk you through such extensive ground work. Right now, you suck. People who suck do tutorials. Simple as that.

    okay i think it dont really go well the backgorund and the render, also i dont knw whtuve done is it a spatter thing u ve used with the red bits near the bottom. the smudging looksa bit odd maybe create some flow and it would look a lot better then. The text again keep it simple and try a simple font coz u cant read what it says aswell. Try adding some graident maps or so so it blends in i think. Try some lighting aswell so it looks a lil better and u dont always need to match the colours with the render coz it ruins it. Hope it helped.
