Zell

So I made this for my husband, made it for his Spray on Counter Strike: Source. His name thingy on there is Zell, so I figured why not.

What do you guys think?



I just realized I forgot the border on it. I'll have to fix that later.

It's a bit big for his tag. I play the game and it's going to be look too pixelated. The effects aren't too bad, the lines and that but the background is pretty horrid.

I know its going to be to be big, I resized it so it would fit for him, but it was really kind of small to post.

What about the background is so bad?

There isn't really enough to help link the character to the background. You've gotten the Pen Tool lines happening around the place, which looks cool, but it doesn't feel like that is enough.
I think some work needs to be done around the character to blend it into the background. The Smudge brush, normal brush and blending modes can help you along with this. Even some clipping masks would look good. It's just adds some more detail for the viewer to look at, rather than glance at it, and thinking, "Is there more?" or "I would like to see more."

Needs some more fx maybe.. and the back of your render you can see at the bottom needs some brush work and some smudging so you dont have the line boarder effect... But Descent concept.. Keep working at it.. Lots of tutorials to work with..... Nice effort..
