Uhm..I did nothing special. :P
I blend it with feathering, and it is beneath 2 color balance layers.
But my secret is to lower the opacity from the render to 80/90, maybe that's what you see.
And uhm... I foget what brushes I used, a few. I guess it were 2 or 3 brushpacks from Metal-CX or something. Sorry, I forget it
And I will try to replace the sword

And if I want to *delete* the empty spaces? maybe make the sig less high?
