Looks awesome. Try making it dark at one area and making it get lighter as it moves away from the smuged area.

 

Isn't that what i done?

 

A few dark spots, but w/e better than what I can do :thumbup:

 

Whats with the random clipping masks?

 

looks real nice...

(other thoughts... how do you get those items... like the pets...)

 

It's really good, but I don't like those lines on the sides.

 

you buy em, next to your money, there is a "spend" link. that will take you to the shoppin centre.

you can also go to the trade centre to buy stuff that people are selling

hoped i helped =]

 

That signature looks really nice, I love the colors, it all matches nicely. However, t I recommend that you try other settings for your smudge tool. These setting are a bit to soft in my opinion. Try using these settings:

_________________________________________________

Brush Tip Shape: chalk 60 brush

Shape Dynamics: all controls off, size jitter 100%, minimum diameter 0%, angle jitter 56%, roundness jitter 66%, minimum roundness 10%, no axis flips

Scattering: all controls off, scatter both axes at 90 %, count 1, count jitter 100%

Other Dynamics: control off, strength jitter 15%,

Smoothing: standard turned on

_________________________________________________

You can also use other brush shapes, but these are my personal favorite and signatures always turn out great with it. One more tip: copy your render layer about 3 to 4 times and smudge them all in a different way, put them at a lower opacity, then turn on linear dodge for the top two layers and you have some great smudge affects.

I hope this helps. :thumbup:

 

Or be a bum and dl grundge brushes off DA. I personally don't do it but you can't deny the results.
