looks good, better than my first attempts.

I realise it's a video game screenshot, and this takes a bit of time, but if you can lasso the characters and "soften" (i like a guassian blur of a few pixels depending on the resolution) their edges you can get them to blend more seamlessly into their background. I know a lot of game developers use this trick themselves.

(i haven't got photoshop in front of me and i can't remember the exact procedure for this, but i can find out if you are interested)

I'm quite good at lassoing them, if you can find out that would be great!

I'll look tomorrow on my main computer, i do everything by instinct so i can't recall that sort of thing, but it really is a handy little tip. One that can be used in almost any situation were you transpose foreign layers onto one another.

But as I said before, I'm no expert. I have no doubts that someone could improve upon my method.

Thems some good looking executions.

A friends kills unfortanetly not mine, on an Invasion if I recall correctly
I'm going to be trying some of just me on one of my forge maps and not doing something as drastic but maybe something more subtle

Lassoed me then sharpend and colour toned then Inverted the lasso and Gaussian Blured the rest by 2.0 pixels

 

[Solariskun]

I added a new layer and made it transparent to get this effect and also sharpend the bottom layer while making the transparent layer darker

I might've not been here to comment back then, but I am here now and that is all that matters to me.

Very Kewlie Kewl to be quite honest. I do like the first one though. I think I am going to put some of my customizations in this section of the forums soon.

(...still bumping old school threads just because...)
