    Decided I'd try n' get a depth signature. Worked on depth... obviously, lighting, worked on text for quite a while, and border. For those of you who know the text reference +rep to you

    ..Wow, the border looks much more noticeable on a dark background

    TBH, I doubt I'll edit it because i'll probably be to lazy to (unless it really stands out), but I'd appreciate anyone's input.

    Couple issues I have with the tag.


    Text - Nonononon, if I have to squint and try to read it, and then have my eyes bleed, you're doing it wrong. It also needs to be incorporated, not added. Figure out how to make the text belong.

    Blending- Feels really sub par. You don't need to know some fancy technique to get decent blending. Here you basically just smudged the outside of the stock/render's focal point, which is either his face or his prominent ass, of which I cannot decide.

    Hrmmm, that's tough to do, thanks though
    Lol the focal is obviously supposed to be his face. I tried to duplicate the image, set a wave render then reduced the copy to 50% transparency. Then it looked like his ass was moving up and down, which just looked wrong, so I erased that part and it came out being too prominent than I wanted it.. so then I tried to make the face glow a little more, but I guess it didn't show up well

    And the text was really bulging out so I also duplicated it and added a motion blur. I messed around with transparency and i thought it looked.. strange, but okay? Though, yeah, i'll work on blending
