Nice Idea ... I liked it a lot ....
Good Luck Author ...

Thank you! \o/

You're right author..clone stamp does rule..lol..this is very well done..i'm impressed..not just adding the body, but blending the other images together..great job..GL

Wow, I hadn't even realized you also colored the source pic to match the model..

very elegant blend!

Absolutely brilliant

Great idea, i think you should try to play a little with dodge/burn to create a more dynamic scene.

Thank you guys!

Oh, Akassa, my intention was to leave the image as natural as possible, so do not even applied many effects, can realize that all the tones, as well as the BG are well fitted clear and natural.

But thank you!

superb,its too good to be fake as true

Thank you!!

Good work..an SBS would be nice.

Beautiful, well done

Love the watery colors and the dreamy atmosphere of this image

Thank you guys!!!

Congrats, beautifully done

Congratulations!! I love this one - I'm so glad it won first place.

congrats!! really nice work

cool work! Congrats

Thank you!!!!

The anatomy is somewhat wonky. Her left leg is noticeably thicker than the right, as if she has a swelling problem. The left knee joint is also lower (which may be causing the swelling...)

suggestions:
1) make the waist thinner
2) let down her hair as if blown by the sea breeze
3) the thin gown should be "blown" by wind, not straight down
4) blood should be improved

nice idea, matching her facial expression

The concept is utterly breathtaking.

But it does look somewhat unfinished. Or at least unrefined. Ropes do not attach properly to anchors, they just point in the general direction. I'm not as concerned with a fluttering skirt because the wisps of hair around her face are also relaxed and not breeze-blown. However, MossyB made some excellent suggestions about the body. I will add two additional things that stand out to me: the right arm appears attached to her back, since the right side/ upper rib area extends too far; an armpit should be there and arm angled differently. The second thing is the right scar / wound - because these are not random injuries, but are where two symmetrical items (the wings) were removed, the scar/wound on the right would more closely match the left wound.

I wish you had more time to adjust!! Would love to see an edited version. :\ Good luck, author!

UPDATE: I just realized you used a 3-D concept for the body (that teaches me to look at the SBS before commenting!) The critique of the body is still valid. Just goes to show that not all 3-D renderings realistically and accurately depict anatomy with success.

Congratulations

congrats!!

WOW! very creative and superb work!

congrats

Thanks for Your comments and votes.

Amazing, GL!

Imaginative and creative use of the source image. Nice final result. I like the that you retained the greyscale look overall too.

seems like the insect upside down

suggestions:
1) adjust the wings part near the body to cover some of the legs portion
2) angulate the legs, now too straight
3) too stark colors for the insect, should lighten alittle
4) touch-up the body, so that it do not have a "mirror" line at the center
5) rotate the insect alittle
6) add a little perspective look
7) fade the edges of the shadows to make it more natural (can use a big brush, lower the intensity to erase the shadow edges)

Thinking out of the box... That's real art... GL

congrats!!

Congrats. nice work!

hehehehe and a giggle! great JOB!!!

Clever and creative use of the source image. Perhaps you could put a bit more shape around the opening of the shoe edges. Dodge and burn might be useful there. Maybe slightly darken at the bottom of the opening of the shoe to give a bit of depth. Impressive stuff, author!

EDIT: Looks

Fab work

thank you for your comments guys. @pixelkid, thanks for the suggestion, i updated my entry, hope it looks better now.

look nice and soft ........... I will take 2 pairs please hehehe

Woooozers!!! Nicely done GL

Very original take on a lame source...GL author!

BRAVO..... simple yet catchy and genius work...!

Wow! Very nice!!!

xcellent work.....so cleverly done..
.

Fantastic, GL!

Very confortable shoes, Excelent work

Very cool designer's shoe

Lots of work, and brilliantly executed. Who knew you knew to drew a shoe? (Ok, that should be "draw a shoe" but I liked the rhyming that was evolving and went with it.)

Nice concept but it's too bright, her arms, hands and even the dress basically blend with the background. By the way you should make the dress a little transparent to look more realistic, with all that light you should be able to clearly see her legs (the shape).

Akassa, thank you for the tip of the legs should be clear that due to luminance.
Subtly I made this change, I hope that is noticeable!

About too much light in some parts of the body, well, my personal view is that blinding light of heaven.

Thank you for your comment and help!

overall composition is good.. only complaint is that she looked 'sad' to go back to heaven?
