Badly pixelated.
Edit: (This edit is better...the version I first saw WAS badly pixelated).

wow, Badly commented CMYK46.

I love your artistic point of view. Great job, I knew it was you

its a little cut, copy, paste at random & I was going to comment on the lack of shadowing, until my attention was drawn to the fact that there are lots of characters stood on other characters faces. Layer managment badly needed here I think but easy to fix.

@Geexman, please point out the "LOTS" of characters standing on each others faces, I thought I got them all when a MOD helped me fix this piece at PST, (it was my first manipulation of any merit and I wasn't really sure what I was doing) Now I do know there are a few characters with feet just on TOP of other characters heads, but that had no effect on the resulting image or the goal I was trying to create.

Due the amount of characters, repetition was unavoidable, but the Idea of the piece was to reflect the word CROWD and I KNOW I achieved that.

Also please review step 2, I made 40 new characters from the original 5, to say cut and paste is a bit of a stretch. I know they aren't the greatest creations in the universe and are not 3d, but I did stay true to the source and the over all feel. (I was using PS 5.0 limited at the time) so I had no warp tools or advanced filters so I had to work with what I had.

I kept the image exactly as it finished in the original PST contest, (I have committed this piece to print and it's been in several of my art shows, to change it now would not be right)

Other then that Geexman, thank you so much for your help...

@CMYK, if the image is BADLY PIXELATED ... offer a solution, don't just hit and run with a comment with no aid to the author, it's very bad form and does not improve the site, if you know a solution to a mistake a member has made, offer it up so the member can make the improvement, your hit and run comments with no offer of solution are severely annoying and no one really appreciates them.. they just endure them..

kinda contradictory to be annoyed if someone doesn`t offer help, yet a comment before you are telling me that the overlapping characters "didn't matter". I`d also like to point out that you HAVE improved the pixelation that CMYK pointed out so it must have been a valid & helpful observation however blunt it was.

As requested take it or leave it - http://www.pxleyes.com/picture/27136/4ca89451d6dfc.html

How did I IMPROVE the pixelation.. did I press a magical FIX PIXELATION button??? some sort of filter I don't know about? (please dear god let there be a fix pixelation filter... it would be a godsend) I wonder if it's available through flaming pear)

and err umm.. thanks for the link... I think I'll leave it... I can't make heads or tales of any of them, and 11 circles of an image of 1000s.. really? (give CMYK a big wet kiss for me in your next PM)

Thanks once again for you help, I guess (and chill out, you take this way to seriously)

lol you confuse respect for another male with homosexuality?....... interesting , sorry princess I didn't realize a little critique and advice would result in a childish strop, now I know that you`re self conscious about your flaws I promise to make my comments to you much lighter and less useful.

.... and as soon as you find a way to make a useful comment that doesn't demand an agreement... (if only you were as great as you think you are LOL) that would be amazing

Oh as to being Childish.. that's the greatest compliment in the world.. and I thank you most excellently for that.. hehehe

And yes I am a Princess... a BIG ONE

Smooch and hugs

This would make a great poster!

I like it. It's very cheerful and cartoonish.

very pretty good luck author (it really does look like a Grace)

"To prove the authenticity of your work, your entry must have a step by step guide with at least 1 intermediate step + all sources must be mentioned."

Very impressive... I love the way you made the dress blending to the falling leaves. And she really looks like holding the violin.

beautiful job ..........

Stunning image and so well put together. A quiet and emotional piece, lovely!

Nice image but IMHO it is to much oversaturated and the blending is a bit to harsh. What I would do is take the final JPG, duplicate the layer and desaturate the new layer. Then blend it with multiply, this will give (in my opinion) much nicer colors. About the harsh blending: take a small (2 or 3 pxl) soft blur brush and trace the outside of the woman. This will make it more 1 image. Offcourse it's up to you author

nice image...good luck author

LMAO! Love it ... I want one of these for my coffee table, that would brighten up the room!

Why so funny? That's nice to see someone comes back with the comic look of Joker, other than the movie character. Great job, author !
EDIT: oops, I didn't watch The Simpsons, I'm sorry

Great Job Author, I have to admit I LOVE this!

Yeah it is Krusty, but if I gave him a bit of a combover I think it would have made a good Joker. Will have to dig the PSD file out and give it a go

woops..accidentally deleted my comment..wanted to say, sorry author because i forgot to say good job and good luck!

LOL, combover - I remember this clown! Would be good to see it sitting on a table or shelf.

SBS firs thing in the morning. Right now i have some serious connection problems, connection times out every time a try to upload a sbs image. Sorry for the delay.

Edit: SBS uploaded.

Nice surrealistic image!

Nice work with hand. One suggestion, replace background blue sky with some other cloud image. It is diverting focus from your main objec. Good Luck

I love this!!!! Can't explain why but I do!

cool ! looks pretty realistic !
