The cloak seems a little too wide, and it would be nice if we could see a little bit more of the mask.
Other than that, looks good.

I think the lightsaber should be brighter. Maybe add white in the middle or something

I agree lol, when I finished I was looking and all I could see was a tenth of the mask, later on I am prob going to redo this and add in all the suggestions :+1:

It looks terrific! I’d change the Title’s color from blue to something more climatic. A red color for instance would suit it really well :smiley:

Great work overall!
If you consider remaking this in the future, try to make the lightsaber brighter, like this:

As you can observe, the middle portion is more white and emits crimson light. Also, remove that:

It feels like the blade is converting into gas at the end. Fix the light emerging from the saber, by adding some bright light source near the blade.

Make the woods darker and the trees a bit taller, so that the light from the lightsaber would look a lot cooler. You may decrease the moonlight here as well if you want.

You might as well do something about this part:

The snowfall here looks really great. Try adding some blur too in photoshop and also try to make the blade of the lightsaber in photoshop too. You can find some tutorials on how to do it. The watermark too, you can try some cooler fonts there.

I am eagerly waiting to see the recreation of this (as you mentioned in your replies).
Other than that…

May the Force be with you.

I just added a few adjustment layers to your render (I hope you don’t mind it please)
Of course, they are far from perfect but I just wanted to show how cool it would look when done professionally.

That Is SICK, what adjustments did you add? and how did you get the lightsaber more red?

I did some of my own adjustments, does this look better than my first one? But you got it more red and the other side darker, that just why im wondering what adjustments you used.

I was just about to comment saying the lightsaber needed some work on it but now I really don’t think it does.
