Shadowing is fine, just incorporate the render into the Sig. It looks like you made a background, then pasted the image on top. If you get a handle on blending, you'd be doing great.
Blending can be as simple as smudging the edges. It's to make it look like its part of the background and any action.
No problem thats what theyre there for ^.^
the blending on the edges is much better
i would sharpen around her face though.
& the main issue here is you used such a large sig size, & the render is small compared to it which leaves tons of empty space to the left and right.
the text size is much better but in corners can be distracting. try placing your text near the render but never on your render if you can help it.
in a sense yes.
another way to work with a larger canvas is to either keep the render at a decent size to where it fills a good part of the canvas or to add multiple effects to fill negative space.
You're getting there! Huge improvement! Id prob try and scale her down, widen the Sig the way you had it, and add some different textures and such with clipping mask on both sides of her.
the lighting is right, the size and placement of the image is awesome. i like the colors. my only issue is its a bit plain and no blending was done for the render.

Try using a smaller brush to blend, you went pretty heavy on this one especially on hit hat. Background came out cool but colors are a little odd for the render you're using. And one of the orbs is cut off. Was that intentional?
the blending and effects look nice but it needs more contrast. black & white sigs need to have a good variety of black to white shades included the blackest blacks and bright whites.
Sakura kiss - I def get what your saying, it was my first b&w and i was hesitant about going to bright or too dark, but i do see what areas could be brighter and darker. thanks
radio- i would comment but im not sure which one your talking about, but thanks, lol
