new one, tell me what you think

Not a bad attempt, but from what i can see the colours don't really go together, i' get rid of the blue over everything, doesnt match the orange base.

Looks like youve used overlay, saturation or a similar blending mode? This darkens the sig so try adding a brightness filter to amp up the light. You could alternitavely try adding a light source (soft white brush or Filter > Render > Lighting Effects)

lol, do you not see the light source?

no overlay here? I did add a gradient map...a blue and orange one...hmm, wonder why there is a default blue and orange gradient? wait! maybe its cause of this->

notice blue and orange are contrasting colors, interesting, lol

not trying to be mean, thanks for the tips, everybody has their own preferance

I'm not really a begginer and everything in this tag was done on purpose, the hard part was trying to get the stock (tree pic) to match the render...that's what I really want feedback on, if I did a decent job? It has flaws, but I think I did ok

[iwz]

Lol, firstly, you asked ne to tell you what i think. That i did

And orange ar violet ar contrasting colours, that's the default gradient map in ps. Not blue/orange.

Don't ask for an opinion then bite someones head off for giving it you.

Just a tip for the future.

guys knock it off,
stay on the ball plz...
do not play on the man.

Not saying you arent all entitled to your opinions, but we get it now...

besides i hate vertical sigs... :rofl:, no J/K

Not to be rude or anything but it looks like a pic of a tree with a render pasted and blurred to try and make it blend. You probably put more work into it than just that but that's just my opinion. I would'nt say this is one of your best pieces, actually not even close. Keep trying though. I like most of your work

[lokifeyson]

yea, it didn't turn out the greatest

and sorry your right it is a orange and violet gradient

[Scythar]

thats the advantage of being colorblind, i dont ever like the colorblends

as a general (very little) tip though: if you have to images to blend on seperate layers, you can use levels on each colorchannel to match the dark areas, light areas and overall contrast: if the greys match, the images will be blended in the final pic.

Nice tip Scythar, that actually helps me aswell
