Both Brush links work for me, hope they are fixed now

nice ideea, but there is one mistake... the lightening should be mirrored same too, on the can...

Really hot... I have cat's tongue, ouch!

Very cool,great usage of brushes...good luck author

Is there a reason why there is woodgrain is showing in the mirror when it isn't on the counter? Nice job with the whole thing besides that, love the reflection of the cup and steam. GL

actually dollmommy, I patterned it after the old metal walls they had in diners, not exactly a mirror but a polished metal surface (and I did most of the chopping at the gallery where I have spot lights on everything so the lighting isn't as easy to work with ) It was my first attempt at some thing like this and I really appreciate all the help, I learned A LOT on this piece, thanks for all your comments

It looks hot........ I cant wait....... Gl

cool efffect

nice use of source

looks real,very good

lighting? dang noce chop though good luck

good work...............

Nice work but i think if you put some more darkness in this crack it will be more effective.And give some shadow to arms.Good luck.

GREAT IDEA!!! could use a bit of tweaking but the base design is FANTASTIC!!!

I'm not sure where your experience level sits at author, but if is one of your first, then well done. But I do agree about the shadows. As usual, I'll hold my vote. GL!

some shadows at the hands wouldn't mind at all, and the tea surface... it better look clean, i think...

This image looks really great when I first saw is low res in the right colum of the site. But when I see it full size it doesnt look quite so realistic. I think the above comments are right. Great idea though, with a few tweaks I think you could have a winner here. GL

I totally agree 'bout the shadows.

Nice work and great imagination.....GL

cool

magic!

its really magical..... all the best.....

thanks

GL

nice idea and excecution

nice effect

That's great !! But sbs ...

Done

Very well done...

nice work on the interior of the cups

Quite convincing.

Nice job removing the liquid. A little simple, but convincing. GL!

cool

you did a really good job emptying the cups! very realistic, keep up the good work!

I don't think that's a strong cup of coffee.

Nice job!

I love green tea... It's a very interesting work, gl!

great job. I would make the tea coming out of the pot just a hint darker and would put a bit of the background frame coming through the liquid otherwise the liquid does not look transparent. Possibly add a hand if you can find a shot of one.

ok done

To add more to the illusion of depth, I would have the teapot's top knob and spout bottom overlap the frame some to make it clear that the pot is roughly half in and half out of the frame.

The tea stream could use some highlights to make it look more like liquid...careful use of plastic wrap or chrome filters could help along with some curve adjustments

Nice entry....GL

nice
