Does anyone like it?

How can i improve?

Try making him on fire or something heroicly dramatic.. Maybe have the station in the sig.

Aliased.

Chief needs to be cut out better. Add some burning (darker spots) to somewhere in the middle, maybe along the bottom edge.

Too much jaggies everywhere.

Are you using magic wand?

It has potential, but the Master Chief just sticks out too much.
Try too make him look more part of the scene.

try defringing the layer if you dont know how to then ill show you layer>matting>defringe and then select 1 to 2 pixels that should lessen the jaggedness and such a little bit but not very much

Using paths is much more effective and maintains a much purer quality. Just use the pen tool to draw over the render, select the paths tab in the layers box, hit 'make selection' and cut out the original render.

if you guys want to see a picture i made tying to use what you said...here it is:

That chief is cut out better than the first, but theres still a red line around him.

that was an effect...i could take it off if you want a look?

Edit: This is the original picture: http://www.istartedsomething.com/uploads/halo3.jpg

That effect basically serves the same purpose of making it look like it was cut-out improperly. It also makes the chief stand out more, whereas for that sort of thing you'd probably want the chief blending into the sig a bit.

needs more AA

I like the this better than the one you have now. try with this one and i think it might end up looking better.

Better?

Not particularly.

Try another render. that one looks odd to me. he stands out too much.

Dang you post fast!

lol...how can it improve? I tried using the same effect as the picture i showed you guys. I also spent more time cutting it out but there are are few errors.

Try to make his arms a little spread. So there not on his chest, or so
it appears. Give him that bad ass thing.
