I like this one very much! This has a wonderful illustrative look about it.

Nice image, if you'd like you can fade out the top of their heads a bit more, now it looks like the top of their heads are cut off. Good luck!

Great job,Waz have the point about the top of the heads...good luck author

I think i know who this is. I've seen these two people in another contest with the shells a while back. Oh well, Its a wonderful image and i agree with waz. good luck.

Creative

to jaescoe21: yes, it was another image mad by me. thx for your nice comments

I love this!!! I especially love the branch texture on the skin.

excellent creation.. the top of the heads need a bit of balancing.. but I don't think it's necessary since the result is so wonderful.. good luck author (but if you blend the top of the heads.. I'm sure you will get an even higher vote then expected.. hehehehe)

awwwwwwesome......... Relay incredible...

Niece piece of art, I like the smoke effect.

good job

Very good image.

Same thing that they said. Pretty cool job

Wow, wounderful work.

nice result.. GL

u did a cool work

wonderful work !

Thank you for your comments, really appreciate that!

@puppetized: author mentioned that in the description (I don't know that this is the original description or the changed one). Honestly, by comparison, the Giallo's entry is much better (because you said that you were inspired by Giallo's entry, I consider it as your reference, please don't take me wrong, I don't know Giallo, I just want to see how you came with from this reference). Author, with your skill you can bring more effort into this work, it's good but more editing might be much more impressive (some parts on the body can be more defined, especially the face, this kind of improvements is within your reach). Good luck to you

Very neat... would have to put this under HOMAGE.. hehehehe.. Great way to use a great entry in a totally different way (one hand is hard to see.. unless in high res..... good luck author)

I don't know why, but it reminds me a poster of "Ruins"...

puppetized , my first incomplete attempt was this

http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/264/38498426.jpg

but then stop working on this project because its not looks good to me. I searched for another pose and decided to used pose reference, used by giallo entry http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-picture/4abc9cf1b25ea/trapped.html. Langstrum no doubt Giallo is great artist, but this image already take too much my time and my layers are now going out of control, until and unless I merge them

nice idea great work !

I agree that you have done lot of work here... since giallo made such a fantastic entry.. This one need to be more effective.. Here the human's body details are totaly missing.. ( even it can be considered as weins or root branches U shuld have used the burn dodge tools under the neck and chest areas.. to get some body feeling.. Only my opinion.. welldone work though.. and Good luck...!!!!

I understand your situation and I also don't want to keep the psd file with merged layer. In my case, I made the second psd file and merge all layers, taking risk and added something more. Maybe we need to take control of layers more efficiently, sometime it brought headache to me also

great job...good luck author

! I even can hear its jingling in the wind...

Thank you erikury.....

Nice work as always

very well done.. but the background is....... Not convincing..

very nice work...good luck author

Nice... but it is difficult to see the man there. (and I would set the branches piercing his body). Try to give clarity.. to the man... Good Luck THis is an awesome work..

change the saturation of the man...thanks hereisanoop

better now... gl

Wounderful use of source.
