very nice

Absolutely beautiful!! Well done!

WOW this is beautiful!

stunning...

Piece of art !

wow, I really liked your image, I think I learned a new technique

Looks very nice!!

Now this one I like! Good use of source, you didn't go overboard with warping, stretching and discoloring. If you can move the right part of the reflection down, looks like the horse is staggering a bit which would mean the reflection would be more down.

robvdn, thanks for the use of your eyes, fixed

Way cool,! great job making the source recognizable

author, this is one on your best works here.. very good

this image is truly amazing!

Incredibly original -- wished you'd have added the "Originality" sub-rating so I could give you a "Very Good!" Excellent blending, and you clearly put a lot of effort into making this. Looks like a glass figurine!

Do I sound mean when I say, that I didn't expect something like this from you at all? (Cause it shouldn't sound mean, I'm just surprised! ) Lovely work!

I love everything about this entry. Very good and GL

Congratulations for 1st, I've been away, sorry I missed this one, fantastic pic.

cool

WoooooooW!!!!!!

Oh it's rufus!!!! so cute!!! love the eyes

This is awesome...perhaps a more interesting background would finish it off.

excellent suggestion Stowsk, and I tried several back grounds, but I decided to just let the piece be, I started to build a body, but I knew it would take too long to make it work, so I stopped once the head was done..(shading a Chrysanthemum TAKES FOR EVER) Thanks for all the kind comments

Like it.....Good job Author......Good Luck.

Very nice indeed Author Cool chop

very very nice

Great job...and wonderful use of source, author! Agree with Stowsk...

nice!

I could immediately fall in love with the eyes. They look great! Very good idea, to use a fish image to get this great iris. Such a cute little thing. Good luck!

Ah! That kinda scared me ! But it's very cute

Good idea but theres a few things that let it down in my opinion. bad masking, colour choices like blue and orange, white glow on plain black background and floating head.

great work.gl

so cute .. great use of source.

@JSK... I just wanted the source to show very clearly,, I could have easily blurred and smudged all the masking but then it would have looked like fur, and I wanted the source to be seen.. as to blue and orange.. the last time I checked the rules of traditional complimentary color, (Blue to Orange, Red to Green, Yellow to Purple) (since the dominant color in my piece was Blue, I went with orange overtones and an orange mouth... I added purple to compliment the Yellow of the original image (I'm a big Cezanne Fan), and I already explained the reason for the background...and I'm very happy you think the head is floating..it was one of my main goals But to alter it now wouldn't be fair to all the nice members who already voted

I'm terribly sorry this piece is such a let down for you.. I'll try to do better next time

Just my opinion. You can take my critics on board or leave it as it is. Im happy either way. just trying to help. btw i ment that blue and orange were strange choices for a dog, not the way they compliment eachother. Just want to point out that i think the contruction of the dog is well done but its not as precise as i would have preffered. Then again my opinion so dont worry too much. Anyways good luck

@JSK.. cool

Nice lookin' pooch indeed, but I agree with JSK too...

@CMYK... darling, I could draw a perfect replica of the Mona Lisa in blood and crayon and you'd tell me I didn't give her any eyebrows and I obviously used blood to create it LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

just funning

Very nice! I love him.

Edit: I knew it was you when I read your exchange with JSK.

Awesome chop!!

So very cute, congratulations!

Very nice work, and good use of the default brushes!

Wow wild. Nice colour.

Very good job! I really like the pipes and the steam coming out of it, that's a great addition. And the whole figure looks just great. Good luck!

Could this possibly be one of those creatures that go through Ohio in the name of the electric company and truly mis-shape and 'murder' our roadside trees????? Good job!

reminds me of one of my favorite movies " Dune" !!! Great image!

very nice work

Great idea and excelent use of the source!

nice work!

Incredible! The eyes look great! I suggest lowering the opacity on the shadow a bit though, it's looking a tad harsh. Good luck!

Looks good except for all the artifacts along the edges...

Wow nice

If it weren't for the teeth, I'd get one of these as my next pet - super use of source and a very well executed chop - lovely job author, good luck!

Tedious looking...yet really well done. Perhaps lighten your ground shadow a bit and darken shadow closer to body...

Another wicked-cool entry. Good luck to you author.

So Clever!

WOW that's a lot of work! Good job!

Cute worm, and butterfly... good luck!
