The Bg's were the main foucs, but I did an assload of gradiant maps and some smudging to the renders.
oh, srry, im just so use to looking at icekels sigs and see's how he smudges the egde of his renders. good job!
Ice is a she, and on the top, I smudged a c4d over her, and on the bottom I smudged her into the bg. Same difference.
I really like the top sig. The smudging of the render into the background is really well done, and the background really matches the coloring of the render. The smudging of the background is superb, and it almost has a painted effect. As for the second one... I don't think the render blends as well with the background, and I am not a huge fan of the C4D showing through the background. The small picture is ok, but some of the text is obscured by the spatter. Try a font that is heavier, so that it can be read easier over the splatter.
Mistakes happen darling. I'm impressed with the top one, but the bottom one's background doesn't quite complement the render though.
