These aren't that great, and hardly your own work. All you are doing is adding the Fire Plugin to it, then the Light Rays Plugin and Cut'n'pasting renders on...

Agreed, you should take more time when you making your images and try new things..

Everyone has to start somewhere. Perhaps if some constructive advice was offered, ABP could develop his/her skill, excelling. Maybe even to the point where people don't comment on his/her work by simply describing what has been done.

Yes?

In all honesty, Ouchy_S, you're one of the last people to criticise slapping renders on custom backgrounds. *Looks at signature*

*Points to bottom of signature* It pays to look before making such statements And plus, all of those artists are awesome. They all use Photoshop (apart from one) and have been using there programs for over 6 months (One for two years). I don't think that they would slap renders on.

Anyway...

I would suggest that you ditch using Plugins like Clouds and Fire for your whole background. Instead, I would suggest that you actually make them. How? Post your Renders so it cover the whole canvas. Here is how to do it:

• [*:acianc11]Make sure your render is on your clipboard, and paste it onto a layer.
  [*:acianc11] :AddNewLayer: Add a new layer, and then paste the render on again, but move it somewhere different.
  [*:acianc11]Keep repeating step 2, until your whole canvas is filled with the renders.
  [*:acianc11]Flatten your image, so all of the render layers are on one layer.
  [*:acianc11]Use the Frosted Glass effect, at your own discretion (Use your judgment on amounts)
  [*:acianc11]Use the motion blur plugin :MotionBlur: at your own discretion (Use your judgment on the amounts).

The end result should be similar to the background on this image I have made: http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg28 ... ioKart.png
