Rasta Man - created by mymy

High Resolution

final rank: 1 out of 15 (final score: 66.1 %)

Well the djembe looked like a Rasta guy...
Only source image! Except the eyes that I drew in photoshop.
Used two outside sources as references to know where to place shadows and highlights. Also used the outside source t-shirt to create a displacement map.
All done using warp, burn and dodge.
Please view in high resolution.

Well done! Just one little nit pick... I think the reddish lines on the arms look at bit strange... maybe you could darken them just a touch on a different layer...up to you... good luck!

Last Elephant... - created by Nellista

High Resolution

final rank: 2 out of 15 (final score: 61.8 %)

I selected pieces from source image, reconstructed elephant based on source 1, merged all elements, placed sky backround, added shadows using different grey brushes on a separate layer and changed blending mode to hard light.
Added some gradient adjustment layers for coloring, corrected some areas that I wasn't satisfied with using healing brush tool, added source light on the right side and used dodge and burn tool accordingly.

Hope you find it interesting!

great use of source and very good drawing, in my opnion the drum looks out of place with the drawn feel of the rest of the image, and u could try and get rid of the merged sections of the leaf. still an awesome image, good luck

I love her outfit including the heels... I do think her top is a little bit too blurry, but that could be just me. As for the drum, it looks like it's floating to me. You could move the shadow up just a little to ground it a bit more, just like you did on the lady. I love the background as well. The leaves are a bit out of place, should maybe be given a little blur to blend in with the rest of the picture better... Good luck
