[Help] Playing around with Photoshop..

[GeorgeGFX]

So I've decided to open PS today since I had free time, added some random resources but at the end the render was not fitting so I decided to change it.
Sadly the new render isn't fitting well and I have no idea how to make it blend more, I'm open for suggestions.

Comments like that one won't help me anyhow.

how doesn't it? you could use less random stuff in the back and make it less chaotic. .???

It's kinda chaotic for me, well uh remove some of the elements like the fractals? Also the overlapped FX on the renders hands bugging me. it destroys the smoothness of your render. to blend it, I may suggest that you should put elements with the same color as your render. uh, try to clipmask some of those splatters though. Also, hm. I think this is going to work vertically, but this will also work that way, its just really busy. the background I mean.

Yeah figured the background doesn't match but that's because I put the new render in ;-;, I tried a lot of renders but none of them works..
Let me know when you're on Skype, I'll give you TeamViewer so you can help me q.q

For things in the foreground, I'd recommend using hard brushes to erase. Having a lot of half baked effects on top of the render adds to the messy-ness. As for the background I'd say merge some of the layers and put them in clipping masks(maybe splatter brushes or a vector shape). Make sure the masks are close ish to the render and take a couple of them and put them in front of the render going along the bottom(and a couple going over the shoulder areas for some extra depth). After that, redo the lighting in the background so that it doesn't conflict with the lighting you already have going on. I'd probably sharpen it just a little bit.

The effects are nice though, once you clean it up it'll look sick. If you can't picture some of the tweaks you can hook me up with the PSD.

it looks like you just pasted whatever you could find everywhere, i think u should read some tutorials about clutter and the text is really ugly :/ overall eyesore but not to worry theres always time for improvement!
