awesome use of a very difficult source.. GREAT JOB! Gotta love the whispy bun! Reply »

OmG, this is amazing!!!! Reply »

Great use of the source. The pattern on the LH side fold is a bit too large and distorted, it doesn't match the rest of the skirt, but overall, this is a truly awesome interpretation. Well done! Reply »

beautiful work author love it... Reply »

Beautiful image, you did a good job with the so difficult to handle source. Good luck! Reply »

Awesome build.....you inspire me. Reply »

Reply:

suggest:
1) smaller head
2) the shadow part of the dress should be darker (not light brown) -- dark brown-black
3) shade more of the body (3D look)
4) drop shadow should be long (light source from top right), shadow to fall right to left direction
5) saturate the sea alittle

great imagination Reply »

nice build of the spider and lighting -- just wondering if the web would not have just a hint of shadow seeing as the spider has one Reply »

Woo HOO and a Ham sandwich Reply »

Very clean work and quite imaginative! Reply »

Good lookin' spider! Might have been better to use a real web as reference, though. Reply »

Reply:

Good looking spider....and a good job! Good luck author. Reply »

Reply:

horizontal pair of legs seem too short

suggest:
1) add abit more shading to the spider
2) add little suggestion of web on the shadow as well (no need to have full web, just a bit here n there)
3) saturate the whole image (personal perference)

Outstanding job on those feathers. Reply »

The feather's detail look amazing! Great entry. Reply »

Reply:

Pretty clean..lov it!.. this is a fav Reply »

Reply:

Impressive work with a great SBS detailing the effort required. The feathers are especially cool. I would have horizontally centered the dream catcher, however, given the symmetry of the underlying dream catcher frame. Also, I think the shadows cast by the dream catcher ribs look more like smudges (and are missing at places, especially at 4 o'clock). If the ribs are touching, the shadow should be small and should largely match the curve of the rib casting the shadow. Reply »

Beautiful stuff here. In my opinion if you warm up the playing cards to more of a variance of sepia it would make this even classier. Not all the same values though... Reply »

Reply:

Stunning, and i never say that! (the cards seem a LITTLE to white though) Reply »

Love it all except the silly butterfly things, but then it's surrealism...(cough). Reply »

awsome image author... your an inspiration in this contest Reply »

I really cant fault this one - just beautiful Reply »

Reply:

excellent job.... Reply »

Reply:

Thank you for the comments. They're appreciated. The silly butterfly things (cough) in the lighter, smaller corner represent the feminine, while the balloons in the larger, darker corner represent the masculine. I left the cards bright for a couple of reasons. The image starts dark in the upper left corner and gradually brightens as it flows to the bottom right corner. Plus, I wanted to draw your attention to the story being told by the cards. Does that make sense in a, ya know, surreal kind of way? Reply »

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Reply »

I understand what you're saying with the light and dark, masculine and feminine, but I don't really see much difference in the lightness and darkness from one part to another. And if there was, those elements aren't really placed in such a way that I would see how they give the image ballance in such a way that making one element darker than the other hopes to achieve. That being said: This image is absolutely FANTASTIC and NOTHING that I said even matters. High HIGH marks from me. Reply »

Looks great maybe make the darker corner darker. Reply »
