Swordsman Signature (progress involved)
I asked Jess (Resortino) if he would like to see a progress of it, he agreed so here we go.

Made a background using the render itself, blurred it, used soft sharpen and then Gaussian blurred it again.

Darkened the edges, lowered the opacity, used a huge soft brush for the top part as a light source and adjusted the colors of the render.

Made the sword soft blueish instead of cyan, same for the eye copied the render and made it a splash-some effect, added a bubble C4D & rocks which I blurred a lot.

Added some small fractals, erased unnecessary parts, added some resources that fit the render.

The pictures above show pretty much that everything is covered, all left to do is the final touches.
Changed the brightness a bit, darkened all the edges for better render depth and focus, adjusted the levels, made R&B lightnings pop-up a bit more, added exposure, changed the Hue as I liked the newer version more, added more effects for a better RGB effect, sharpened & cleaned the signature using High Pass on Soft Light with lowered opacity and added border.
