Next steps, from me, would be to work on blending the model and the backgrounds together, to give that consistent and finished look.
This. Try setting it to a blur/smudge tool? You use gimp, right? I usually double my zoom and work slowly to blend. Another trick can be use shadows to your advantage.

It looks too simple, but to hell if I know how to fix it. >.<

Maybe add a focal point in the background to blur, that way their attention is drawn to the guys?

Hmm. Yeah. I was thinking that the background was kinda off.

It doesn't help matters that Claude's model has 50% B&W pictures, so I have to work with that. At least they look like they belong in the same frame, I suppose.

Cheers!

Myk that's sooo pretty!


Okay so this one was a little harder because I had issues with the smaller name plate. I even resorted to asking my husband, who mind you, knows nothing about art. lol I know the image for the model is small. I tried stretching it a little but it started looking distorted so thought against it.

Sorry, work has been killing my brain and I've been passing out as soon as I get home. I meant to say this earlier.

Yes, that is much, much better. It looks as if they're standing in front of a wallpaper. I love it.

And definitely keep blending, Missy. <3

Thank you for the support!!! I'll see if I can do more with Kennedy's without making it look sloppy. I did fix Rina's banner. I blended it on several layers to see if that made a difference.

Ooh, yeah. Those are looking great.

Kennedy's blends a lot better now and Karina's is a lot more focal for the model. <3

I want to make more pretties now!!
