anyway THANKS!

you are loved author

oh!!!! a medieval prostitute LOL

Funny indeed, and a good blend!
PS: There should be a caption contest for this pic...it just cracks me up!

So...higher score for my uncanny sense of humor? She asked for your number, cmyk...I think that's her come hither look. Perhaps its her facebook photo. She's a sexy beast. lol.
And thanks, all. this was way more fun than I had anticipated.

Damn this is hilarious...perfect humor...well done author

Congrats Jade, this is funny

Congrantulations

This was a surprise! Thank you! And first place! An honor!

Congrats for the 1st place

Congrats!!

Congrats on your win

MAO Author check the weave on the left side

Pretty sloppy...you chopped up the top of the head, made a hole in the hair, and needlessly messed up the background. This could/should be just a sraightforward blend of Obama's face onto the source pic.

hahahahahaha

Maybe it's supposed to be surreal...

Hmmmm....wasnt this done already?

Author, beneath the right ear there's background instead of hair, and there's an area of black with an abrupt line at the top. Also, look at the top of the head...

there is a hole in the hair on the left..author dont go clicking negative thumbs down on comments when you are the one who fails to see your own mistake...its up to us if this entry gets 1st place or not so u better get the fixin and take these comments as critique!

This isn`t right.... this author wouldnt make such obvious mistakes.... its almost like an account hack....very suspicious!!!

On the LH side, you can see the braids that abruptly stop at the "hole," and then continue down by the neck...

You also have some very obvious on top of the head and on the LH side about 2/3 down, joining to the braids...It's poorly painted, and the color doesn't match the hair, the background, or anything else...

The strange fuzzy black spot near the top of the head, and the black fuzzy edges along the LH side of the "holey" braids just add to the overall confusion of this piece.

You should seriously consider working some more on this entry, it needs some help.

Check your messages

great fix

Well up to your usual high standards now, author...GL!

I knew there had to be some good explaination, just glad it wasnt a medical one ..... nice chop author

MUCHO gooder!

perhaps this will explain the mystery hole

much better..good luck

Author, you really scared me, as I saw the first version! Luckily there was an explanation for it This one here is like it should be, when it comes from you.
There are just 2 things I noticed.
On the right side of the image is a white part, between the head and the right border. Looks like you forgot to erase it from the Obama image. Another part of white is also in the upper left corner.
And you might have a look at his/her left cheek. Next to the earring is a spot on the cheek, that looks brighter than the rest of the skin.
Good luck!

Aint that adorable Amazing entry

I did not saw the first edition but this one look phenomenal...well done author

Great work, can't decide which obama entry i like the best. LOL!!

Somewhat hideous and wonderful at the same time...?!?! Nice work author!

Very good.

Congrats on second!

Congrats., its a really fun entry

Congrats!!

Congrats on your win

The lighting on the bottom of the chin and under the cigar throws the effect off. Perhaps you can darken it with "selective color" making a selection and then darkening/tinting the whites.

EDIT: Nice correction. Looks much better!
That cigar in her mouth just kills me!

I see what you mean, Mossy. While I haven't had much success with "selections" inside an image - I did grab a soft BURN brush and darkened alternately the "shadows" and the "midtones" at about 7% each. Definite improvement in the overall blend.

Thanks for the help.

Thats one Butt Ugly Critter...

This made me cringe...it's perfect!

super cool neat work...gl author

I like that you added a different background and blurred it to add dimension, good source finds. Well done!

Thank you, Pearlie.

Should of got second........this was more original

congrats! This one was pretty funny!

congrats for the 3rd place

Congrats!!

Congrats on your win

This is ridiculously funny. Great concept.

very funny

Good idea, good blend, but you need another source link.

CMYK...Its there now

SIC

Nice work, old friend. Best of the bunch so far.

Fabulous............Great work........Good Luck Author.

Thanks for the great comments )

hahaha................

I just can't get enough of these political figures. Thank you so much for the laugh!

The face is a different skin color than the neck. The neck has more red tones in it and is lighter.

I see the red tones mentioned and should be an easy fix, just a bit on the left side of the neck. Overall a superior blend here, author. Best so far.

Well done.

Fixed... I think!

Thanks!

The finished product here isn't unusual looking. This is actually a realistic finish. Nice work nonetheless.

EDIT: No need to reiterate the guidelines...and no need for defensiveness author. You did a fine job...I merely commented that the end result doesn't look like a hideous or outrageous combination.

I understand, author! One big from me!!

The goal says: "Try to blend this as realistic and convincing as possible."



EDIT: I wasn't trying to be defensive just want to explain why I didn't made a "outrageous combination"...

Thanks!!
