Beautiful work. One of the best...
Good luck, author.

such a wonderful entry.. (only in hi res, the hair in front looks a bit sharp, but I'm not sure, can't really see it clearly, just a wonderful feel all round)

Very good mood, love this one ! maybe you can work a little bit on the hairs it make too much like cut, if you use a fusion mask you can make it more fluid Good luck author

Yes, i agree completely, i worked on the hairs but the front part wasn't enough, i'll work on it again. Thanks for the feedback!

Really nice. I like the mood. Good job on the color matching.

Lovely entry. i especially love the birds in the background, excellent addition to your image.

Vegetation on ground is out of scale with the rest.

good work done in destroying bricks........but the volcano is not fitting very well.....play with the colour of volcano to get a better result.....good luck

Thanks for the comments. Don't have the time to fix it now, so it will stay this way.

Congratulations on second place, good work.

congrats

love this entry, maybe u should work on blending where the thumb meet the palm

Nice image. It grabs your attention. I think it would be nice if the lower part of the arm was more rounded.

thanks guys, did a little fixit work

Excellent concept, great colors!

Congratulations

Wow Nice Job, Great Concept and creativity

Excellent work. Looks authentic.

I really like this, but I think the guys by the
tripod need to be either closer or smaller. IMO they appear to be almost on the same plane as the people on the bottom.

@pingenvy... it supposed to be on higher ground but the perspective is all wrong.... thank you

Very nice entry!!! Good luck!

reminds me a lot of the beginning of the Exorcist.. hehehe.. love it

Good job, looks convincing.

Looks great!

good work........!!!!!!!

yes , nice!

Very nice job, author, fairly convincing.

Great blending!...

Really like the work you put into this! Nice old feel to it!

whats the sky/lightning source?

@Eladine ; the sky was rendered in Photoshop while the lightning was done using normal brushes with added effects like "outer glow" .
By the way , thanks for commenting : )

Nice mood, but the Reaper is out of proportion for the image - He would be almost as tall as the arch if he stood up off that tricycle...

@ MossyB ; the Reaper was meant to be bigger than typical human beings (it is the Reaper after all) ... Anyway , thanks for commenting : )

Nice idea. I think it will look better if you desaturated the other buildings (to mach with the dark clouds).

Reaper on a tricycle...LOL...pretty darn goofy.
