Interesting Avatar.


Uh ok I burned the hair a little... *with a curling iron* ... Anyways then I/ used the paint brush and eyedropper to make a color slightly darker than here dress and painted over it with a like 35% opacity after making it a new layer and burned a part of her dress to create a shadow. then I burned her left (our right) arm and cropped some of her leg off so what do you think?

another nice improvement. I still don't like how the blurs in the bg are horizontal when you've got strong vertical lines from the render, but it's leagues ahead of the original version.

Don't forget to make use of layer modes, either - soft light, overlay and the ilk are your friends!

Thanks for the tip I did one using more layers modes and one without the use of very many.

Few layer modes


More layer modes

C&C is really appreciated.

Why thank you. Does anyone else have any suggestions? Personally I like the one without all the layer modes.

See my deviant art gallery for my major projects, and a majority of my renders. I generally don't have much to to speak of due to the fact that my renders prioritize quality and time over quantity.

I've also posted some in separate threads, though expect future posts for review to be in here:

This one was a mixed bag since the transparency is bogged down by the frame being shown in the way I brushed it... you can pick it apart as you wish though if there are improvements beyond the obvious that can be made.











Here are some more progress shots of my render projects... the finals for these can be found on my DA page, however, some are unfinished and you'll know by whatever's not on DA:

So, what do you think folks?

[phazer11]

Well I think it's nice, the only things I would change are I'd remove the smoke cloud closest to the top of her hair and the piece of flame that juts out to the far right hand side and goes out straight as they are distracting.

Added boxspring!

@ A: Hmm...you need to make the text a bit more visible. With the clipping mask, you can't really tell what it says.
