Firstly, please noted that English isn't my native language, so i apologize for any grammar mistake that i made :)

 

Final Outcome
Finish_zpsb71462a2.jpg

so, start off by opening your document

as always, use 200px for both width and height and 300 for resolution for high quality image.

1_zps066cffb2.jpg
 
add your render and duplicate it three (3) times and hide the top layer simply by clicking the "eye" beside the
layer..
we gonna make the background, just move the bottom layer and middle layer until you get a nice colour
using your render as a background make the render and the background blend nicely

unhide your top layer and convert it to smart object by right-Click the layer and select convert to smart object
and resize it ( Ctrl + T) to fit your document
after you've done resizing it, sharpen the layer ( Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen) and rasterize it by right-click the layer
and select rasterize layer

we going to play with blending option now
select your render layer, and again right-click it and select Blending Option
and use the same preference that i use like in the image below

change the brightness a bit

after we've done that, we gonna put some light effect on it, ussually i will put some light flare and some nebula on the
layer, i also like to out some fire spark effect on it
Light Flare

Nebula Example3_zps2b2f67d6.jpg
Fire Spark Example_zps8012c91a.jpg
 
im going to use the fire spark first...add the fire spark layer and change the blend mode to Screen
resize it and put it on the the place you like
remember to erase the the hard edge on the screen layer, use low opacity eraser for that

duplicate the fire spark layer and change to location of those layer

you should get something like this

ok, done for the fire spark effect...now for the nebula effect

as always, add the nebula layer and change the blend mode to screen

and put it below your render. dont forget to resize it

resize it and place it on your desired location

and just like before, erase all the hard edge

9_zps56352381.jpg

 

and the last effect...the light flare

add the light flare layer to your document

change the blend more the screen and place it below the nebula effect

resize it and place it on your desired location and erase the hard edge.. . . . . . . =='

duplicate it three (3) time and change the loc

ahhh, finally the light effect is done....and now for the final phase ! XD

the adjustment phase

start off by making a gradient layer above all of those layer ( Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Gradient Map )

choose the black/white gradient first and change the blend mode to Lighten

after that make another gradient map and this time...use the deep blue/orange one

change the blend mode to Screen and the layer opacity to 25%

andddd we're FINISH !!!!

 

ohh, wait ._. if you prefer a border

make a new layer on top of all layer including the gradient map layer we just did before

paint it with black and set the Fill to 0%

right click it and select blend mode, tick Stroke..

simply copy my preference :)
