W00T! I'll start right away!

EDIT: Ok, so I got my tori in, but there's this green surrounding it-



How can I get rid of it?

I think it is to do with how you are compositing it...


Way harder than expected XD
(didnt have a tori model on hand (but I did have a torii! XD) and I couldnt be bothered making one, so I will do it later)

i seriously must complain about this, why does it have to be about my tori? cause my tori would just be plain normal tori >_< why couldn't we just do other model :/ but anyway, i'll do something :/


EDIT: Or not, i don't have a camera that works >_<

I just used my phone XD

I don't mind if you dont use a tori really, it is just for practice in compositing rather than modeling, so whatever is fine. (I think Tori was just chosen because most people know how to make/use a rig already, so the focus will be on the actual composite)

correct.
it also focuses on the compositing alone, instead of any selfmade models.
Whatever, do what you want, I don't care.

(what's wrong with a plain tori anyway?)

Alright, I managed to fix mine:

Looking good!
I think you gotta work on the shadow though

Eh, I made few mistakes, but didn't want to start over to fix them.
Shadows are meh.
Tori actually reflects environment if you look closely.
4 lights = 4 shadows, you can actually see the 4 lights reflecting off some of his joints too.
Notice the Depth of Field as well.

Also this:

not bad, but the lighting seems a bit off. I wish I had two computer screens D :
