Great piece, I like the poor bird and bone collection...nice work!

My girlfriend says I create sad entries, but that's only because I'm such a positive person and I feel the need to compensate!

Nice entry, GL!

Wonderfully dark ... one could say, electrifying

Updated. You can see previous version in the SBS.
Please don't refrain from saying what you DON'T like in my entry: maybe you hate the colors, the bird is too small, structure looks like toy, lightning& clouds look very artificial, whatever it is, as long as you have improvement suggestions as well, your Critique will be welcomed.
I'm not a master artist, I'm here to get better and it would help me a lot knowing what I do wrong so that I can improve in this lifetime . Thank you for your support.

Very original!! I found it very powerfull, good luck author!

I like how you made this structure with the correct perspective of the rings. No problem with the small bird, but it should be blurry as the far scene in the background and the lightning should be smaller if it attacks the bird. The yellow sparks are not really realistic, but they're acceptable IMO. Most of us here made toy-like constructions in our entries because it's hard to make them realistic, that's why we have to learn more and more. My hint is finding the real images of what you want to make and try to mimic as closely as possible, that's the way I did. Good luck to you

Great entry, GL!

I like all the versions, nice liquifying. A little like H.G. Giger.

I see peacock, scorpion, and dragon, all at once, fantastic!

Beautiful, the purple amethysts are really nice touch

The sea of clouds is cool!
The faded oversized moon is problematic. It is too dark to work as a light source for the clouds, much less the image. If you want it that large, yes it will dominate the scene, but you need to have it at least as bright as the brightest clouds in your image for visual consistency.

Lovely work on the boat ...and the clouds sea is a great concept.

I do agree with Mossy ... the moon takes away from the wonderful work you have done on the boat.

Fixed

Nice job with the extraction of source1 and the creation of the background. I think the flames could use more attention. Perhaps some more contrast on them, they seem a bit soft. Good luck!

Well constructed, but I don't get the water background...UFO parts the Red Sea?

its not in the red sea, somewhere in the ocean UFO hide. LOL

Author, your flames were made in the wrong way. Just remember images like this one http://www.deviantart.com/download/106640611/The_Flame_by_AuTuMn_Lee.jpg
Normally, the fire is brighter close to the source of the fire where the heat is maximum. So, from the center, the order of colors should be white --> yellow --> red. Sometimes you see the blue colors, it means something was burned more efficient, so more heat is released (more than white fire).
Hope that this helps and good luck with the contest!
EDIT: Yes, at least it's correct now!

(Fire) fixed
thanks to you langstrum

It's great that you fixed it author, and nice idea with those waves. It might not make sense for some, but it works compositionally and it's pretty original!

Btw, you should thumb up Langstrum for taking the time to help you, he deserves that much . ( it's the yellow hand at the right of the comment section- click on it).
Good luck.

wow! complex... suggest the lower part of the UFO to be much smaller

Very creative, love it

Good entry, GL!

like it. suggest add noise to the tongues and eyes a lil, so they will blend better
add some shadows to the bird-lings, more realistic

Awwww.... sweet idea.

I was surprised to know that the bowl texture is good for making lizard skin
EDIT: wow, mircea found the same thing
