-- I've went crazy with Adjusment Layers
-- New Layers(for me) such as Levels,Curves,Color Balance
-- In this tag,I was really attempting to play with lighting
-- Comment,Critics,Ratings,etc.
-- You prefer the "Cyan-lighter" version or the "Warlike-color" themed?

It's nice and simple I guess but one thing puzzles me. Why is there a layer of smudge behind the focal when the bg is a realistic picture? I can understand you doing that in a smudge based sig where it will indeed help your focal to blend in the bg or whatever, but here it kills your blending. I'd try to avoid the 'smudge behind the focal blending' thing as a whole, it's really a starter blending technique.
He is a bit too contrasted too. But you're learning how to color-blend at least, keep it up

I hate it D:
it looks like you just took a picture, stuck it on a nice bg and put overshadow and high contrast on it.

[Melez]

Well your opinion shouldn't matter since you start every critique with "I hate it D:" or "OMG MY EYES HURT D:" or whatever
Though what you say is true, it is a very simple work.

What appear to be smudge was my attempt at dynamic lighting Read it from a tutorial,basically made 4-5 copy of my Renders. Then one my copies in Color Dodge,one of my copies on Lighten,etc.

I didn't put any crazy C4D or Brushes in it,but wanted to try something different.Trust me it took way longer than just playing with Constract/Lighting.

I liked the dead space thing you had before.

I know this one probably looks different for you, because you know the work that went into making it, but I still like the previous one better.

The outer glow on the render is kinda ehh

Not outer glow yo, "Dynamic Lighting". Don't exactly know what it means but suppose to be fancy.

its ruining your blending either way

2 things, Overcontrasted and lacks of blending

I like it, looks like hes charging up his force abilities and about to blast some1 with it.

Never thought of it like that. This changes everything! =P

[Skyve]

I'll work on blending on my next one

P.S: I wish it would be easier to undo/edit you'r project after you've "Applied Image" Was going to change the "outer glow" but there was like 10 Layers of Applied Image over it
