SPELLING ERROR ALERT... Friends... not FRIENS (beautiful piece.. so much life and happiness

EDIT: Perfect.. and great job!!!

Amazing! Reminds of primitive art

Pretty nice work, but the background is too intense & distracts from your work in the foreground, which is very good.

LOL, thanks Golem... err Drivenslush, now fixed @CMYK: I tried darker combinations but finally I like this one.

Too bad...reds in foreground, reds in backgound...kills depth.

This is a great gestural piece, but I agree that the background could be adjusted to bring out your characters.just a bit. I would like to see the "head" on the left a tad larger and higher up for symmetry.

very nice work didnt expect it was u

I love this piece; it has a lot of character and expression! Especially because there's a sense of joy and celebration. Great work!

Awesome use of source and I like the background very much it looks like a sunset.

Great work and very nice colors

@Anna: the head looks better now, thank you very much for comments and happy new year to all cheers

This was my favorite! sorry so late but congrats on your placement.

cool work IMO u can blur the inside of the leg...its showing as 3 different layers now

edit: Looks great

thanks nishagandhi, rework on legs and updated

Good work! Like the combination of colours... Is it a satyr?

Boomerangaroo?

Good except for hands & tail...

Thanks CMYK46, have tried to improve hand and change rotation and position of tail. If tail still does'nt seems to fit then I will remove it.

Looks great! In my opinion the vignette is a bit too dark, but the creature itsel looks fantastic. Good luck!

Thansk ponti55, reduce opacity of vignette

Very well done.

Congrats,

Congrats on 3rd!

congrats

I start to repeat myself Congrats for your third place, Nasir!

COngrats on the top-three!

congrats

This is a unique take on the theme and I love the color background. There seems to be a mild glow on the hands and boomerang which not really sure is nessesary but that's just mainly my own opinion. You may have meant to do that for an element of surrealism. I'm sure you'll explain in the SBS... when U submit it....

EDIT: Diffused glow was my guess as well. It's not bad and I was guessing you meant to do that anyways. Just one tiny nitpick: there's some leftover chop just below the center hand that just looks like you missed. I thought my screen was dirty for a sec until it scrolled with it. Still a good chop, unique entry and good use of source.

thx jaws.. the mild glow on the hands and boomerang is effect of diffuse glow.. I was a little bit lazy to make sbs .. because in making this entry I am just using basic techniques ..

Very nicely done. Good use of the found source and also good chop.

very interesting g.l

High marks for creativity!
