Wow, it's magical, and the duck colour has been desaturated to match the overall theme. I wish I'm enjoying my night on the "candle house" Reply »

Good thaught & good mood author...

But i think increse the contrast & levals of the duck & in the background increse the black point using levels than image should be looking very attractive..

All the best author..

The stripes on the arm holding the axe are not the same as the rest of the stripes of his sweater, but this is a delightfully creepy image! Reply »

thats cutting edge art !!! Reply »

Creative, but seems rushed to me. Aside from Mossy's comment, the way you have your light source wouldn't put so much shadow on the duck's underside. A lot of edges could be smoothed, too. Make it better with some tweaks...it's mostly funny and well done! Reply »

scary! they were best of friends, now fight over a ducky? poor Ernie...

suggestions:
1) for more 3d, add bright n dark tones to Bert n arm with ducky.
2) add white shine on the edge of the axe, perhaps a starburst to suggest sharpness of axe
3) fade the top part of the shadows on the table (Ernie's arm n ducky)
4) side-thought, you can very well add a "spot light" to just lit the face, axe and arm for a more sinister feel

cool chop Reply »

improve the sand-dune (add texture then gaussian blur) so that it will look "bumpy"... now a little flat

WHAT A CUTEY!!! Reply »

Reply:

Cool! maybe alittle to much of a shine on the shark in comparisson to the ducks, but to me one phrase comes to mind:

" PLASTIC FANTASTIC! "

aLL THE BEST, DIRK JAN Reply »

Reply:

very very nice.. Reply »

Reply:

Judging by the light on the ducks, the light on the sharks fin should be darker near the body, and a shadow from the ducks on the shark would have added some realism and maybe some pebbles in the sand. But I think you still have way out done the rest of the field. congrats old man. Reply »

Head looks flat compared to the body. The plates should be curved accordingly. Reply »

Great texture overlay, but the lighting doesn't match the background... Reply »

Reply:

Good call, Bob, I've rounded the head a bit more. Thank you, Kushpatel. And MossyB, I've darkened the bushes and large rooftop slightly, but other than that the lighting is as I envision it - dawn with the sun barely peeking through the smog - lighting from upper right throughout. Reply »

Reply:

Good job correcting the lighting. It was the top of that roof on the left that was throwing a visual monkey wrench into the image. Now it's no longer fighting for dominance, and the roofline can bring the eye back down to the duck. Reply »

Reply:

Nice job on the Trojan Duck, love the armor plating work. Good warp tool technique. Nice mood and good choice of colors. Reply »

Reply:

Nice Job Reply »

Reply:

Maybe you can burn a little bit more the duck, however very good work author, good luck ! Reply »

Reply:

Made some adjustments in the shadows/shading and darks/lights. Have also added a low opacity dark orange layer for that warm early morning foggy glow. Thank you all for your comments! Reply »

Reply:

Super industrial Duck.. Quacky quackers!!! Reply »

Reply:

cool.. should add "soldiers" climbing out of the ducky or a door Reply »

Reply:

Thank you, aheman, I did think of that, but the duck is still traveling, and the 'soldiers' are tending all that heavy machinery inside - and staying stealth for the time being. Reply »

Reply:

Wow, it's interesting to ride on copper ship in the duck shape It could also be nice to ride in duck submarine - great work author Reply »

blur the edge of the moon (too sharp now)

trees looked embossed... style alittle different from the rest of the image Reply »

Reply:

really lovely..... Reply »

Reply:

The duck must be missing her rabbit partner in the moon Love the style, love the mood and feeling pity for the duck Reply »

Reply:

Thanks again for comments and support.
Aheman: I intentionally made the trees look embossed, as for the moon, it is the original pic from mymy a member of pxleyes. I did not make changes to it. That is why it does not even have a halo around it, and if it looks sharp on the edges....sorry, but it is the way, the picture is. Reply »
