C&C please! I know it may not look that great as I am new to photoshop but I would still like to thank Rachet for his awesome tuts.
I learnt a lot from them and just applied them here. Also, for replying my pms asking for help/advice. Thanks!

V3 -

This should be in digital art, not sig/avatar, however with that being said, you have some nice effects going, but it looks like you put them all on color/linear dodge, try screen or lighten instead, gives a smoother effect <3 text is okay but take the top text off overlay,

Thanks, I've been totally clueless at using C4D in my work since most of them have backgrounds and I didn't think of changing the blending options.

Hmmm, thanks for the advice. I'll edit it and put it up.

[Hind]

There ya go.
V2 is with the blur effect, V3 without. Which looks better?

[Fuzer]

They still look oversharpened =[

[Hind]

Edited V3, how's that now? I sharpened it once instead of twice this time, and I also blurred the background up till about halfway of the floor.

It looks too smudged, sharpened and overlayed. the colours are quite stange and it could do without the bottom half where the floor begins.

[Hind]

I'll bear that in mind, thanks. I'll edit it soon I guess. Any advice on how I can improve it?
I understand how to correct the sharpness and smudges though, but what do you mean by too overlayed?

The colours aren't much different from the original render. I just used a purple/red gradient map and I got this effect.
