Assassin's creed 4: black flag background

Yeah...opinions?

nice! Left arm blends in nicely. right arm (top) needs some extra splatter to blend in better.

Thanks for the tip, it was actually a bit more blended until I put brush on a linear dodge :P

Only problem I have with this style is it looks so flat. Maybe some of the splatters coming off his arms could be in the same colour as his clothes.

Example:



I am not saying mine is perfect but you see how the splatters then become part of the image and stock rather than the BG with a stock put on top.

It's only like 2nd design using this style, so I really have space where to improve thanks for heads up

This guy gets it.
