The main issue for me here is that everything is going on behind the render - nothing going on in the foreground. There's not too much going on with regards to lighting but I guess it's kinda in the right place. Background is oversharp but you've got a decent dynamic in the smudging there which highlights the focal point. Text is a bit ugly and I'm not really sure what the ellipsis is for. You've also not done a great job of rendering his hair tbh. As I commented in dk's thread though it can't be any worse than my last attempt.

Yeah I've never really got that right tagging, possibly why I've never been any good at it but yeah trying to render the hair was painful. Lighting is aimed to the right of his head, yeah not sure I entirely got it.

Ellipsis? not sure what you mean there.

and thanks supernoob

You're supposed to be clever and you don't know what an ellipsis is?

And yea I can't stand trying to render hair either. Often easier to try and use alpha channels and selecting by colour rather than doing it all by hand. Or just cheat and make sure the background behind his head is white. <.<

[Anselm]

Oh yes didn't know it was called that haha.

Cheating is........cheating though.

agree pretty much with what teh dude said. a random thought, to incorporate the render into the BG, why don't you try displacement maps? you could get a nice ... disintegrating effect going that could tie in the render to the bg.

[Anselm]

Yeah I haven't used displacement maps in ages, might try that out
