…well I didn’t get around to this in time for the model contest. To make this work together I changed some of the floor tiles to match the cyan tones of his hat and shoes. After some color & tone corrections I made a texture from the sole of the shoes and layered that into the background. Since this is such a cool trippy model I made his muscles really pop by over emphasizing the highlights and very subtly playing with the skin’s saturation.
