looking good but a bit dark hard to see the image you have used, lots of layers is the key . nice background brushings too .
Have you tried a brightness contrast layer above the background layers .just mess with the settings.

You find the option for a brightness conrast layer in the following piccy .

Pupu · Oct 08, 2006, 09:00 AM // 09:00

thx for the tip, looks better now

<--learned a nice lesson

loooking good , it was a tip i learnt a while back and has come in very handy.
Try out a curves layer too set to auto (found in same place ) sometimes that gives you something quiet wacky , others quiet awful and sometimes does nothing at all .
Its another tip I use alot.

yea, this is my first attempt with brush blending and also first attempt at merging my char to the background layer, also first try with techo brush ^^, thing is i have like 19 layers..not sure if i should have that many lol ^^, my next try will be a grunge sig

hope i can pull it off

zidergirl · Oct 08, 2006, 09:09 AM // 09:09

19 layers is fine I sometimes have 30 or more , other times just a few . There are no hard and fast rules .

ZenRgy · Oct 08, 2006, 01:38 PM // 13:38

Looks pretty good, the digital/HuD brushes look bad imo.

zidergirl · Oct 08, 2006, 01:43 PM // 13:43

i agree the techy brushes do not really go with the halloween theme .
background looks good though

Pupu · Oct 08, 2006, 01:48 PM // 13:48

atm im learning some different tricks...when i done the backgrounds, they looked kinda plain to me so i tryed sum techy crap,,what im trying to do now is do a rusty grungy effect so it has a more natural feel, save to say im having some trouble :P, but thx for all the critism and kind words, ^^ much appriecated

Pupu · Oct 09, 2006, 02:47 AM // 02:47

well i tryed a grungy dark effect, ditching the techy brushes this time

worked on a necro effect...tryed to make a soul blending into her...i think i captured it nicely
