Some of my latest works

Please rate I'm a beginner.

I did these for myself as my name is B Smith on another forum where I am using these. I do have the psd files if anyone needs any proof.

 

What you use paint.net? If so some decent beginner work 8/10

 

I used Photoshop CS3

 

Any comments at all?

 

Pretty sweet.

I suggest trying to add some depth. You can do so by:
Making a new layer, going image > apply image. Sharpen this a fair bit (Do not distort).

Now erase every part of this layer but the render. Now imagine your render is a fully 3D image, and that your screen is the camera taking a photo of it. Use a soft edged brush to erase the parts which are furthest away from the "camera". Use a pressure of 25%, and the bits of the render which are furthur apart from the "camera" should be less visible that the rest.

This may be a bit hard to understand, sorry. If you need me to explain this further i can draw a diagram.

 

I prefer the first one as on the second one, the render looks detached too much with the background.

 

Same here.

 

Nicely done mate, 7/10, Can you tell me where you got your cs3 please?

 

kewl ;p

 

Looks good for beginners work.. I give them 6/10
Go look at some tutorials and such.. Depth, lighting, all that good crap..
