This one was a request. I decided I'd do something different this time around. Anyway, I personally like how this one turned out. No stocks were used in this, the clouds and such were brushed in. There are a few obvious mistakes I made though, which I'll have to remember not to make again next time I try something like this.
Hey, Hyper. I don't understand the effect that's in front of him.. It needs to blend more with your render. You shouldn't have make the bottom half of him not viewable, if parts of it was viewable then it would look like you made an attempt to blend the render with the effect. Text is a little big for me, and not liking the font. So you should change the font and text up some.. The transitioning in the BG needs to be improved as well.. One side is sunny, the other is dark and has rain.. Basically.. Use gradient maps to improve coloring Fix up the text Blend the effect and render And create better concepts
The clouds look really good, but unfortunately that is about it. The frontal effects are strange...they look blurred and cover up the render. The render itself needs to be blended better as well. Keep working on it, you'll get better in no time.
