In this tutorial you will be making a Christiano Ronaldo the soccer phenom in Adobe Photoshop. It will look like this:

First we need a background like this that we will use

and the render pic ( c.r ) image

Then we will go to add the background in this case and make a new layer below the background and fill it with a dark gray
make another new layer above the background and fill it too with some gray and now we need a old trafford erase with a 150 px soft brush leave the edge .

Go to Hue/Saturation, then just lower the saturation about -60 or less.
like this:

Now we will added the render ( c.r image ) to the background. Look now, and read this:
1-duplicate the render 7 times
the st leave Normal
2- Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur 6.0 px
3- Right click and blending options, select outer glow and make the opacity 50% the color white and the size 49 then select an inner glow and leave the settings normal set the layer to 50% opacity
4- Ctrl Shift + U to desaturate. Filter > blur > smart blur Radius 30 threshold 50.0 set the layer overlay to 100%
5- Ctrl Shift + U to desaturate. Set it to Screen 30%
6- Ctrl Shift + U to desaturate. Set it to linear Dodge 20%
top - Ctrl Shift + U to desaturate. Filter > blur > Guassian Blur. 25px set the layer to soft light

We will got the results like that pic 5 . that will done. Now duplicate the first bottom layer of the render , twice, and put them above all and this ( motion blur ( filter > blur > motion blur ) set the layer overlay and move them to the left and right of C.Ronaldo

Make a new layer and filled in the selected area of the render with black and set it to soft light 61% opacity. Next I clicked the black and white icon on the layer list again and selected Hue/Saturation drop the Saturation to about -30

Next I will grab my gradient map tool, and select a Dark gray color, using a Radial Gradient drag down on your mouse below Ronaldo and make just the edges of the signature Grey. Set the layer to lighten 100% i then repeated this step on anew layer and set it to hard mix 43% opacity

Now I did some splatter brushing on new layers with a white color, on a new layer grab splatter brush and do a little bit of brushing around the outline of piece, set the layer to overlay and drop the opacity rather low, make another layer and grab a different splatter brush on one side of your render once.

What I did was a clipping mask on the brushing layer that is on Ronaldo create anew layer and apply image ( image > apply image ) on the layer list. Hold alt in between the applied image layer and the splatter brushed layer and click your mouse. Add this to the right or left .. as you like

The next layers will be splatter brushing around the background of the piece with colors from the render (red and white) on the red splatter brushed layer i set it ti multiply and low opacity. With the (white) brushed layer i set it to overlay and soft light on low opacity also

Then I soft brushed with a bigger brush around ronaldo`s shirt and set the layer overlay 20% with a dark color on a new layer I brushed on ronaldo’s face and arms and set the layer to color 42% opacity and now add some text, then we finished the professional signature for C. Ronaldo
