text is an issue and render looks blurry. background doesn't look bad.

Yeah very cool background. This is actually a really nice start, and with a few minor changes could be very slick. 

 

First, bring the text in a bit closer to the render, maybe overlapping a bit.

 

Next, make a new Layer and go Image > Apply Image (this should make a copy of the whole sig). Then go Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen. Erase some parts around the text if they're too sharp. 

 

Then make a new Layer above everything and fill it with light grey, (around #B3B3B3) then set it on Multiply. Erase some parts around the render's face and the text to make those parts focal points.

 

Then go Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Exposure, then set it to Exposure: 0, Offset: +0.0165, Gamma Correction: 0.9.

 

Finally make a new layer above everything and set it on Soft Light and 70% Opacity. Using a large, soft brush use black and white to create some lighting (dark in the background and light around the render). Make sure you use a brush on low opacity, this should be a subtle effect.

 

Keep it up!

hmm - gonna try this out. we'll see if it's good.

It shouldn't be a huge difference, just something to make the render blend in a bit more while still keeping some nice lighting and colouring.

Nice! Maybe erase a bit more of the darkening layers around his jersey, but I think this looks better already.

I'm not big on the white text, but version two is head and shoulders above Version 1.

What colour would you suggest? I have the PSD and I'm fiddling around right now

[sherifflobo 137]

I would maybe try a light grey.  Not sure though.
