 |
|
I'm new to photoshop forums and im pretty new to photoshop itself. I found some cool sig and tried to make one of my own....first attempt
wondering if i could get some feedback on making it better
one major question is blending edges of different layers when they dont fill up the whole area...if that makes sense
kinda like on mine where the eyes are you can still see a definate line whithin the layer
all help welcome

Of the two I like the final more...
A very easy way to blend would be to grab an eraser and set the opacity to 25% and erase your way from the edge in..your going to have to go over edge a couple of time each time you go in a little more...it will start blending nicely.
To make the space dude edge solfter try the blur tool..just trace along the edge.
Personally I think the red lettering doesn't seem to go with the rest.. needs to compliment the image...Find a font that stands out in someway, then maybe blues and whites something..
My 2 cents.

"space dude" ROFLOL!!!!!!
lasa, ever play halo?
I like the one where "space dude" (lol) is in his normal green. There is a slightly more complex way of blending the pic of the face. lasa's way is very quick, easy, but hard to vhange if you decide you don't like it a few days later.
here's the other way. Add a layer mask to the face layer- the button to do this at the bottom of the layer palette. (not at home = can't provide screenshot) Then use the gradient tool to make a smoorh blend.
You can probably google or search these forums for more about using masks. It's not difficult, just takes a little to get your head around it. Also consult PS help.

gallo pinto's 100% right...masking allows for creative changes later...eraser and blur tool are easier but you're working without a net.
Damn the torpedos full speed ahead!

One further suggestion.. on the layer with the3 eyes, increase the opacity quite a bit. Then go to the layer's blending options and, where it says "blend if" select "grey" Then below that there's a slider that has a black-to-white gradient on it. grab the sliding triangle at the white side and drag it toward the center. Watch and see what happens, and fool with that and the opacity till it looks right.
This is a quick n' dirty way of getting rid of white, but in a high-contrast image it works a treat.

photoshopping stuff all day is probably more stimulating than halo-ing all day. Especiallly if it's halo 2.
Um, about the eye. I would say that for something to be used for an eye, it should be recognizable as an eye even when taken out of the context of eyebrows, eyelashes, etc.... Your pattern doesn't fill that criteria.
there are of course exceptions. I think it woudl look good if you blew the eye up as big as you can get it with it still fitting on the picture, and put in the pupil a screenshot from Tom Clancy or whatever that game is with the guy withj three green night-vision things. Basically any image that immediately looks predatorial, and makes people think of shadows and death.
