Ok, so I dabbled around with different things on Gimp. Still not sure how to use a render with a background, so I had to find any kind of transparent render. Anyone have any suggestions on how I could use non-transparent renders?

 

It's cute :3

Try to make the character blend more into the picture though and not seem like it's just a cut and paste. For example, not making the image in the middle, but on to the side or maybe not the whole image in the shot,

How would I go about blending it in more?

Probably your biggest issue that you seemed to have fixed with the second version is the fact that your background harshly contrasted with your render. Try to make sure the colors and the movement of the background complement your render, rather than work against it. If you do want to have heavily contrasting themes, work them into both the render and the background.

 

As for blending the render, try smudging/using motion blurs to give the background good flow. Then duplicate it, move it above your render layer, and erase some of it so that it looks like the background is some sort of fluid that is passing through your render, if you get what I mean.

How would I be able to use another render? Like one from planet renders?

 

Tried a third time :)

Look up some tutorials.
