Im not a fan, sorry it just seem like you pasted him on a bg from a stock or something like that. I would like to see some more details in bg some effects and some blending using effects

[Studhorse]

Lol, that's cool.
Actually the Bg took a while to make, it's not a stock or anything.
Also, alot of shading and highlighting went on to try and create some depth.
thanks for commenting though.

Thats a familiar style With my earlier works I did the same things, and actually made a tutorial about that style.
Its essentially the knuckes stock, woooshed up. Then lighting text, the whole deal

It makes for a solid sig just about every time, but not quite a creative one. Keep expanding

Close, it's a bg made up of clouds/difference clouds (a couple colors and gradient map).
the original sized render with a couple distort/twist that I put in a couple places/layers then shaded/highlighted to add depth.
placed some in front of the render and erased to create a "stepping over" effect.
i know it looks just straight blown up, but it's not (the eye behind him was just a last second creative use of white space

I know, still not super technical with blending the render in and all, but given the "stepping over" feel I think it works.

Something different for me anyway
