Excellent use of source and execution!

HAHAHAH! AWESOME!!!! awwwww

great. very well done.

sweet contribution.. GOOD LUCK

Very nice work

Cool but the sbs is just for the wings but is a grea chop good luck!

Reflection should fade with distance, her left knee is awkward...otherwise a great job!

HAHAHA cool image

thank you so much guys, CMYK problem fixed, thank you.

EDIT: i fixed the reflection, hope it looks better now, thank you CMYK

awesome! I love those wings!

wow, thats awesome. ur very talented good luck

Author, I love your image, but I don't see any changes since my comment...don't pull my leg.
EDIT: The reflection is great now, but the shadow you've added should just go away...it's opposite the light source in the background.

welldone. nicely created, and good usage of source image. shadow is too strong, adjust it.

great!!

Well executed and very creative

Author.. SBS please.. we really can't SEE the use of source.. and the SBS will Clarify, will hold vote til then.. BAYOOTIFUL entry by the way.. Just need to know how you did it before I vote...

SBS IS AWWWWEEEEESSSSOOOOMMMEEEE


AUTHOR.. you rock

great!!

SBS on the way....thanks for the quick comments...lol...happy you've liked it!

good one it looks like the final fantasy city

Wonderfull job... Just... Beautiful! Good Luck!!!

awesome!

Very cool, reminds me of stargate atlantis if you have seen it

Good-looking image very nice work!

Ace place

nice work

I don't mind the rain, but the foreground, middle ground & background are the same colors, and it kills the illusion of depth...

great entry, however, I'm a bit confused as to where the city sets.

Good-looking scene...Very final fantasy

cool image...love the idea, I think it some depth would really improve this, like with the rain and dome. Good luck!

Sweet manipulation, really like it The protection circle looks really cool

O-o-o-o-o, so many scary worms want to eat this beautiful city. It needs to be protected

Congratulations for 2nd

Congras!

congrats

congrats

this is a very cool idea.. you might want to close the seam above the right hip.. the places where the legs meet the claws could be blended more.. maybe just a light erase at low pressure to give it connection.. your call.. it's a really nice piece.. good luck and very clever.. good luck

AHHHHH.. much better Author.. HIGH FIVE

NOW.. if you could just make it move like a slinky we'd be all set.. JK.. good job

Nice work, really cool.

GolemAura thanks for nitpick, corrected.

The spine segments should line up, too...

I agree with GolemAura and CMYK46 but I really like this.. ;0 gl

cmyk and darkshellie23 thanks for comments, updated.

really cool

good attempt

Lookin' good now!

great job

unique approach!

The eyes are weird, overall great job.

A beaut!

Creative

Congratulations for 3rd

congrats

congrats

nice work, and the angle also perfect

Very good stock selection! Only thing is he is a little blurry. Probably from the source. Did you use the highest res you could??

great job looks real!!

out of the park.. good luck!!!

Simple yet Effective...

looking good

Good Idea

Realistic looking image...but some of the edges could do with tweak (Helmet is the most obvious place)

Great idea and nice seletion source

Cool... good luck

cool!!

nice

great idea...that guy is NUTS!!

Warlock, the color variation on the helmet is the sunglare. It is there on purpose.

very realistic

Looks real! Great blend.

O.k. Author but even for sun glare the edges still look too hard to me but that is personal preference. Many thanks for the explanation tho

Spot-on perspective! I originally thought the helmet 'glare' was from the sun, but 'glare' on the shady side seemed a bit odd. And his right shoulder has some 'glare' as well.

Very clever idea! Why it wasn't mine? Great job author!

cool! congratulations

you did very well

congrats Solkee!!!

cool

Nice idea. Shadow of large one on grass is too sharp, Not sure about reflection.

Light is from low left...oval things wouldn't have visible shadows...reflection is cast as if the object were in front of the cone, not already past it.

okay I drew a line from the corner of the pylon down to the ground.., line from little girl to her shdow. .matched those lines with the descending shadow.. they match.. large orb in the sky in back I took liberties with the shadow I know.. but it's still a neet effect.. as to the reflection.. I followed the back cruve of the oval and place it skew to the surface of the pylon and cut away any excess.. don't know what else I could of done.. the shadow is coming down just like the shadow on the pylon????

THANKS FOR THE HELP NASIR AND CYMK
okay I blurred the large shadow.. (when I eliminated the shadow and all the heaviness of the ovals were lost.. didn't like that.. and the reflection is from the BACK of the orb which should have light hitting it and reflecting back.. I copied the angle of the reflection of the little girl only opposite.. don't see what else I could do???? and I used guide lines and everything

gold stars to both of you

The girl doesn't even have a shadow, she's within the pylon shadow. What do you mean by the "corner" of the pylon? The top? If you draw a line from the top to the ground, the shadow would be longer than the pylon. Applying the same thing to the orbs would put their shadows out of the picture. The angle of the light source is just too oblique. As for the reflection, since the orb is on the near side of the pylon, the reflection would also be on the near side.

nice!!

I'm talking about the little square corner of the base of the pylon.. this is so hard over the web....it's almost a perfect 45 degree angle.. because it's so close to the ground.. the same angle is right under the girl.. you can see the little black disk right below her in the high res.. it's about at 4/5 oclock.. I matched that as well.. I agree with the second oval shadow not being there. but the oval so close to the girl would be impossible not to cast a shadow.. it's to hard when you can't be right next to me showing what you mean.. as hard as it is for me to show you what I mean..

CMYK lets just let me be wrong and you right (Cause I'm sure you are right, I just can't see your vision..because if we continue to talk ..we are going to write a novel no body will want to read LOL. .thanks big guy. and another gold star for you..



(that was a lot of fun

The curb's shadow is a bit wider than the height of the curb, so the angle to the sun is not quite 45 degrees. The foreground orb's shadow should be moved to the right; I would expect to see the orb's left edge's shadow near the left edge of the image with the rest of the orb's shadow continuing all the way to the right and off the edge of the image. Orb shadow should match intensity of pylon shadow. Rear orb shadow must have come from an orb we can't see. Stronger shading on the front orb might be appropriate given the sun's intensity.

Goood grief its a very nice image plenty of WOW factor, i speacialy like the reflection in the orange cone...high marks from me good luck! (h)

hey, welcome to the competation, good luck

idea is nice

COOL. very nice idea
