Blending?

The last two sigs I have made, I have had trouble with blending the render in. I have tried many things, but nothing that suits my liking enough. I wanted to try some splatter brushes on the second one, but I couldnt find any that didnt look like blood.

Suggestions/critisism welcome!

 

The blending of the first one is fine, though some hairs were too sharp. Try to use the eraser tool to erase some or feathering would do.

The second one needs more blending. Duplicating some layer would solve your problem.

 

Thank you, and what about unsaturating the render in the second one a bit more?

Is that any better, I think it is.

 

I'd say try using gradient maps and photo filters to get your colors right. also feathering and low opacity erasing as mike said would work.

also the second one after desaturation works a little better but it seems like it stands out. try putting some of the c4d on top of her.

 

Thank you very much! Will try that for sure.

I love your second sig kaku.

 

Added a color balance to the first one and tried a whole bunch of stuff with the second. Should I keep or get rid of the red lips?

 

your first post, second sig, looked great, just use lasso tool on the outline of render feather it, select inverse and delete.. feather shud be about 5-10.. just a suggestion

 

Try using layer masks, that usually works.

 

if you're putting c4ds over a render then out then so they flow, and try and keep them off the face

 

k ill try a few more things and post the results. Thanks a bunch guys!

EDIT:

With a new c4d

Without the c4d

With photo filters and more light erasing (need to work on her shoulders)



Will do more when I get home from school.
