Manga are comics created in Japan, or by Japanese creators in the Japanese language, conforming to a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century. They have a long, complex pre-history in earlier Japanese art. Popular themes include science fiction, technology, sports, and supernatural settings (wiki). For this contest you transform normal people or animals into manga style characters. Big eyes, extravagant expressions, breathtaking perspective angles; push yourself to the limit to get the coolest manga scenes. Just as long as you use photos of people or animals for your character(s), but be aware: you can not use photos of people who already wear mangastyle related clothes (like how people get dressed for comic festivals, etc). Good luck!

Good job! Nice compromise between reality and manga. The problem, in my opinion, is the hat because it's too flat and the lights on it are wrong .As you can clearly see on the hand or observing the reflections on the dress the main source of light comes is on the right, even if it's clearly a diffused light probably because the sky in the source image seems cloudy. I suggest you to use another source image for the hat, or, if you prefer to mantain that, change the lights on it and apply a material texture. Good luck Reply »
Outstanding! Great reconfiguring of features and recoloring. I do find the (awful lot of!) sparkles too flat/same plane because they're all the same size, however. Reply »

I made some changes..
The eye on the right (as viewed) is misshapen rather than round in the iris area and the side edge by the head. But a nice source image to work with. Reply »
