Alright, the stinkin' lines in it were driving me nutso, so instead of sleeping I pulled out me ole' blur and clone tool, cloned some of the background img to blend the two more together, fuggered with the text some so it wasnt so bland and standing out too much. Do you guys like that one better? c/c still welcome. Thanks

Well I tried =/
Trying to figure out how to play with this, but Im failing miserably. =/ Its late and Im going to bed. How in the heck can I get better at playing with these things?
I want to learn, so I want c/c. I do know that I needed to blend the images some, I dont know how. And yes my fonts suck, I need to dl some. Its also sort of bland, Id like it to be busier, but I lacked things to add. I wanted a catch phrase, but wanted to get a better font to put it in also.
Feel free to rip me a new one! I can handle it =P
(Boy I hope this img shows up).

I couldn't see the image, it said I needed to log in..
If changing the opacity isn't giving you the results you were looking for, another option is to take the eraser tool, set it to something fairly large with soft edges, say 45pt or so, and change the opactiy on that tool to 2-6% and just gradually erase a little at a time, fading the edges into the background image.

I think it is interesting the way it is. You could possibly blur or fade the piece of the smaller image more down near the larger image's nose so that they aren't as jumbled together right there. :? If that makes sense.
Try your erase tool set on brush and at a low opacity if you want to lightly take some of the image away. There are quite a few other things you can do, masks, gradients etc.. but the eraser tool is fairly easy for you to start out with, plus it gives you a fine degree of control over what you take away and what you leave.
I like the futzing with the font that you did but I also know that it is supposed to say Trent Resnor. Looking at it as if I didn't know ahead of time, I would have said it was Trent Rexnor. Just come back and make the s a little more clear but leave the blurry. You might even add more blurry red on a layer behind the lettering in a few more spots.
As far as catch phrases go, a lyric line might be the way to go.
All in all though it looks cool! :thumbsup

Actually, its supposed to say Reznor, his name has a z in it, which is why it looks like an X faded some. Ill try to fix on it anyway tho :)

Whoa Nalla that's really really good! My only c/c, other than what's already been offered, is that the placement seems odd. Like the little man is coming out of his nose. I'd test it and see how it looks coming off to the side a little more, but I dunno if that would be better. And I've never been a big fan vertical placement for names. Just bugs me somehow, but that's just personal preference. Very cool idea though! :thumbsup

Nice idea Nalla. My biggest c/c is the word emphasis..."the only" isn't complete without "thing". Personally I'd just highlight "pain".
If someone else already said that sorry, I was skimming ;) I also agree with mae...vertical type is distracting.
I think you did an excellent job with it Nalla...keep working at it!

Thanks Gilae. The reason I hilighted the couple words rather than one was not to actually make it stand out, but because I was in a hurry to leave and I wanted you guys to be able to read it. The grey text was completely unreadable across his face. Gonna completely change that in a min :) Thanks for the tips! And the compliments.

I want to take the text out that says trent reznor, but cant figure out how to remove it without using an eraser, cause that will erase the part of his face. Newest changes - changed quote with Mkristall font and moved it.
