You are so NOT rusty!! It is beautiful, and for the standards of not doing sig's for months... Its got potential... But you need to practise a bit more for perfection...
OMFG IT'S MOODKIP. *ultra mega huge tackle glomp* Well, anyway... Yes, you are rusty. xD First of all, stock just isn't so great. I know, I know, Nami, but the laying down thing is eliminating hopes of depth and flow. I like the effects, text is too horrible, but I think it'd look kind of cool if it followed the arch of her back. It looks a little too bright, too. Not bad.
Now that's what I like to see, good old criticism. xD I'll work on that tomorrow after work. ;D Any suggestions to darken it up?
First of all, I agree with Misty, the stock takes up too much space, and kills flow and depth, I don´t know what to bring my attention here. Effects are good, but the FG it´s quite bland apart from the C4D fx, text could use some work. As for the darkening it up, brush in black with a soft brush on a new layer where it´s extremely bright, set it to Soft Light or Overlay and play with the opacity xD. I think that could work >_>;. It´s not too bad, but not too good either ;D.
I love your render...hehe...*nose bleeds* But anyway, welcome back and your not THAT rusty. What I recommend is that you sharpen the background and the effects that's above the render. You should also make a new layer behind the render and use a black brush and to make sure that you brush so that it looks like it's around the render, then smudge and sharpen it and I think it'd be okay. Nice work, though. ;3
