My newest work this one I was just playing around a bit with different textures and the like

 

[Jupiter]

awesome anime, haha i just started watching it recently.
its not bad aside from the fact that you put textures on all of the characters it seems and its sorta hard to make them out.

 

[SYN Black Wolf]

Heres a version where I didn't do that I don't know what I like more

 

[Jupiter]

the textures on them werent bad it helped tie them in to the background i would say maybe just leave the textures around the edges of the characters and keep their face and most of their body clear.

 

[K7own]

what is the anime called?

 

[Jupiter]

Soul Eater

 

[K7own]

i will have to look it up thanks

 

[SYN Black Wolf]

Ok so I tried smudging them but I don't know if it turned out the way I'd hoped

Any ideas on what I could do to try and make the characters merge better with the background?

 

[Jupiter]

lol i posted before, place the effect from before on them but erase their faces and most of their bodies.. just leave it on the edges to tie them in

 

[SYN Black Wolf]

Didn't know I could do that

I am still pretty new to photoshop

 

[Jupiter]

yeah whichever your original layer is with all the characters are on duplicate that layer, then add the effect to the duplicate, make sure it is placed above the original. after you add the effect, lower the opacity on it to about 20% so you can see what areas you need to erase.

 

[SYN Black Wolf]

Genius

I didn't even think of that

 

[Jupiter]

heh ive been using photoshop for a few years now.

 

[SYN Black Wolf]

I've been using it for a month now T.T

 

[SYN Black Wolf]

Ok tried what you said hows this look?

I like it alot more actually

 

[Jupiter]

can you post the version where you didnt do much to the characters underneath it so i can compare?

 

[SYN Black Wolf]

sure

 

[Jupiter]

much better see how it blends them in but you can still see them?

 

[SYN Black Wolf]

I do and I quite like the overall effect

Thank you for all your help

I think that the one without any adjustments to the characters, and the one with the smudge tools on the characters looked really good as well.
