Selena Gomez tag

So I've not made anything in the last couple of months and I started messing around with some inspiration from Muffuns Miley Cyrus tags.
I started messing around, really not liking it much so far but I was wondering whether people could give me some ideas on what to do next. Literally only 10 layers at the moment - lost on where to go next.
Work on it? Bin it?

The text is simply there to stop people that may want to rip it from ripping it.

id say work on it some more and see what you can do :)

Can you give me some tips or some ideas - really lost on what to do now. Just looked at it for an hour yesterday. Even those 10 layers took me an hour and a half. D:

The c4d's thats there now isn't working at all :/

The pink stuff just breaks the flow, try to follow her hair. Shes the leader :)

Double text is bad, try to put the Dom over Selena instead, keep them together.

Work with the background before you start adding effects to the foreground.

I would say start over fresh again ^u^

Give it some smudging. To get your focal point back, duplicate the stock and set to darken unless it's a render. Then add a stock background or something? Anything to lighten the tone and make it more interesting to look at.

Can you expand on that please Mutiny, seems like a good idea but didn't understand 100%. :p And thanks for the comment Radillac. :)

Are you using a stock with a white background? Or a render? ;)

Stock with a white background.

Duplicate the stock layer.
First one; smudge it around. ;)
Duplicate ; set to Darken. It brings your focal point back. ;D

i'd suggest rendering it out and putting it over a more suitable background. it's over a white bg too so that'll make the hair a ton easier to do, don't even really have to worry about rendering that.

I can't render. Don't have a clue how to use the pen tool. Thanks for the comment though, I'll see if I can get it rendered and then update.

if u don't want to render it out, then put a black bg behind your render and put your render on darkning. the pink render should be mirrored so that it goes with the flow. Then put in a lightsource on the left side, and smudge the hell out of a copied layer as said above to make a nice bg..... I love the effect on her neck. Text font is very nice too, but as said before keep the texts together or loose "Dom". oh and btw you could follow tut's, they are here to learn things. ;)

That doesn't really make sense Xelo:

I don't have a render to put on darken? I am going to be following tutorials, just need to find some good ones first. ;) Thanks for the comment.
