New 4k personal project any feedback is highly appreciated

Hello people, I am BigNose_kid , I am a experienced GFX designer who’s just starting out on GUI and vector designing.
I made this Personal project for my Devforum portfolio as a Banner (Not Realeased yet).
I am very happy with how this looks.
A hour to render in 4k and a solid 74 layer, 30 minute edit, I hope it was worth it.

Any feedback is highly appreciated.
:pray: PLEASE PLEASE DON’T JUST STEAL WE SPEND TIME ON THESE :pray:
Commissions are OPEN

Fixed, the reason i didn’t just upload it cause it was 12 mb and it won’t let me upload for some reason.

Forum can be glitchy at times :upside_down_face:
Other than that - I really like it! Grass is realistic, character doesnt have an unrealistic pose (bloody hell we need a rig mover to do this automatically), and watermark isn’t covering the whole image

Really Nice 4k. Feels like 4k until I see the effect or something coming out from near the hands. Is it meant to be there? I feel like that destroys the look…

that is my watermark lol, if you mean the big V in the middle

Rendered grass does not match with the photo manipulated background grass, you can fix this with bright/contrast with hue/saturation adjustments.

The text is plain and the red Japanese text does not contrast well with a green backing layer, add a drop shadow or outer glow effect to fix it.

The size of the background drowns the main character. Characters should have a relationship with their environment, your composition seems out of place.

Alternatively, you could kill two birds with one stone and use a lens blur on the background to hide the poor contrast in grass colors, and this would also draw a stronger focus onto your character, which I’m supposing is your focus otherwise you wouldn’t have added your character.

Thank you very much for the constructive criticism.
I am still pretty new to GFX and this is my 2ed ever photo manipulation.
It feels really good when experienced designer like you give this precious feedback.

Umm so the grass it’s literally 13 images blended together and I know this looks kinda odd but I can’t modify it cause the grass is really blurry and I was too done to remake it, it wasn’t a commission but a personal practice project!

Ye totally agreed that background Is a lil bit too empty I will keep that in mind.

Hmm that white and red text LOL that’s my logo and I never blend my logo just for it to stand out and make people see it more often and recognize me sometime idk if it makes sense for you but it makes sense in my head

Hmm I really like the background and that made me not blur it cause I spend so much time blending everything. But anyways ty for the feedback it really hit my perspective and improved me.

No problem. I’m glad you found it useful, good luck with your future projects.
