i followed one of Wiisha's tuts and this is my outcome ! its pretty bright in some places but i cannot realy change that anymore.... CNC plz ! v1. v2. Centered the render and fixed lighting a bit
WOW! I love how all the colours come together! The right side could use some work, and so could the text. Overall a VERY nice job!
Nice job. Good use of colours and ditto depth. Allthough it would look better if he were more centered in the sig. Seems to me there is too much empty space to the right and it takes up quite a bit of the attention due to the blur. As for you comment on not being able to change bright spots, simply add a brightness and contrast layer to darken it. The spots that look too dark then, you brush away using a black soft rounded brush.
v2 is awesome.....try fixing up the text though...or go without....either way the text doesn't hold the tag back so good job..
