    Not that great IMO :|
    I think I could've done a better job in combining the foreground and background. Oh well, its been a while since I last made a graphic. :p

    Good idea! But improving the color, the outlines of the subjects are white and ruin the work of a lot. And then change font if you can

    Not a fan. Try using higher quality renders; it'll make your sig look cleaner. And definitely check out some tutorials on how to feather/ blend your renders in with your bg's.

    The monster thing on the left looks like it was from paint....should get rid of that imo. Kind of plain and dull, make more contrast between the fg and bg.

    it's not pink. That disappoints me! :(
    Well I think thge image on the left is a little choppy is all. It didn't fit too well with the picture. You can try to transparent the little edges some more =)
    Other than that it's a good piece of work :yup:

    Not that great. It looks like you just googled a couple pics, pasted them on a background, then added your name at the top. :p I'd try to got back and get rid of the white around the guy on the left, then blend both images in to the background. Also, maybe try to make it a bit smaller.

    Ok, yeah, after looking at it 1 day later, it really is awful :p
    Oh well, better luck next time

    ps. I don't like following tuts. Anyone can follow tuts, but I like messing around with stuff myself and making something good. Evidently, I failed this time :D

    Or or, you can just add some more stuff like renders to the background. You can make renders and patterns yourself/
    Play with layers' settings, adding lighting. Mess around with the filters. They can be fun sometimes :yup:

    Agree wit hang. Alot of it is definitely the render. Also think about low opacity brushes for effects, having a definite focal point, etc.

    If it's too difficult to remove the white pixelization from around the left image I would look for a different image with a black background and try to blend the edges into the background. Also, the rainbow circle seems a little detached from the image and could use some blending, or even a lighten effect on a different layer if you're using PS.

    If you can make the word zero a little more gel like it would also fit better into the image.

    And I also agree simply either higher quality images or saving it as higher quality would benefit it greatly. Even if you had to make it small it would look better. :) PM me if you have any specific PS questions.
