Top notch work indeed!!!

super wonderful.. exceptionally well done.. good luck!!!

But where's the SOURCE??? (HAA HAA HAA HAA)

(oh I kill me

incredibly awesome!

Pro work indeed

loved this last time, still love it

Hahaha! Cute! GL

great job

Exquisitely done a real master class!!

Ahhhh how much I loved and still love this one!!!

Soooo good to see this one back! It's just fantastic! Good luck

I haven't seen this one the first time....but....it is an awesome job indeed! It can very well work as a game or cartoon concept! I only wish you were more explicit in the SBS, so that we could all learn how to get to do such a great image! I would personally be interested in an official tutorial, as I would like to learn how to give some of my images such a great glow and such perfect shadows and highlights! Best of luck!

VVOVV!!!

Thank you all for the kind comments. Nellista asked to see a more detailed SBS and so I've added several more steps. You were right to ask for more detail, sometimes we forget the purpose of the SBS is to share technique and methods with other members. I hope this is more informative. Thanks again!

great image!!!

Looks very nice. Good!

very... very... very... ahhh wonderful...

this is amazinly grt...............................................

Congrats, Spaceranger! It's really a gorgeous picture!

congrats, but you should credit vicspa somewhere in the description don't you think?

congrats

Congrats again Mike, awesome work

CONGRATS AMIGO!

Congrats great work!

Congratulations Spaceranger

congrats!

congrats!!

Congrats

Thanks to all for the comments and congrats. Sigi said I should credit vicspa. The clown with a puppet has been done many times by many artists. In the old PST vicspa made one and so did hyperorbit. It's a fun concept and it's different every time. Truth be told vicspa has been my friend and colleague for more than 15 years. He introduced me to this site and has taught me much about photoshop, I owe him a great deal.

Congratulations for 1st

Great!

great job!

YOWZA YOWZA YOWZA

Great image, it reminds me of someone.

Ahhh... duhh..ermm.. i'm lost for words... you're incredible...

WOW, what a great image,

great!!

Good to see this one back & not so washed out this time....cool... great piece of manipulation quality work!!

amazing like a comic book character

Good to see it back! His face is just perfect. Good luck again!

that's awesome one thing if I may suggest is to make the ash look a little lit up although it does look like it's just chillen there like he's some cool cat :P so I don't really know was just a thought wonderful job author

Wow, he must be smoking smth really nice - it makes him real happy anyways lol What can I say? - great job, author! Any flaws?.. not really, this is not only fun, but very clean too - maybe some hair strains need a bit of blur to bend in with the rest, but maybe not, to make the image more different. So - no real suggestion from me, because the image is GREAT!!! Good luck, author

I remember this excellent work author.

Congratulations for 3rd

Great!

has a really great night clubby feel.. this would be great as luma art (wouldn't want to pay the electric bill though LOL.. great job)

realy good work... reminds me on high definition faces from Final Fantasy titles... Good luck...

my favorite untill now good luck

Good image! The eye rolled back in her head doesn't work for me, though...
EDIT: Love the eye now...good luck!

looks nice! Good luck!

Good-looking image great idea would like to see how you made the model in the sbs....

i adjusted the eye....thanx cmyk.

cool image i like this one

Looks good.

I guess......Author...But what I will say is if I am expected to give a detailed S.B.S then so should everyone else that works within 3D. You can't have one rule for one and another for someone else we would then be into discrimination or discriminatory behavior

SBS for making of the model has been added....

Much better a lot more info & everyone can see what you had to do to achieve the end result

wow very good author!!

also...i don't know what the reason for this is, but my images lose a lot of resolution on the upload....i don't know why, I'm creating the final jpeg's at a high resolution....and when I view it on MY comp, i see more clarity and color. If anyone has tips for me on how to get my images up here at their best resolution, i would greatly appreciate it!

strange feel but very creative... in a good way.. GL

Congrats!!

AWESOME!

nice i love how it doesn't realy feel weired

Wow, this new perspective works great, you adjusted this perfectly. Good luck!

wow i like this

Haha! I remember this one!!! I only think the shoulders are too long. Other then that, great job!!! GL

Vlad, take a look. The shoulders exactly match the source pic.

I would give her a soft catch light in the eye as if it is coming from a soft light. Great job though!

this is supposed to be anonymous!! just kidding, great job!

very nice

Ms CMYK46... GOOD WORK

Classic!! Nice work on this...maybe a little more shadow on her face from the hat

pretty cool Beavus...I like the eyes

Oh Mrs. CMYK! Good to see her back. She is still as beautiful as the last time she showed up here Good luck!

Absolutely odd.....but.....truly amazing...! What should I start with???? I love the eggy head idea, great choice of sources: the hat couldn't fit better and the colors of the scarf really match the overall tones...., I also like it cause it's neat and clean....and....oh well....fantastic...! My only quick suggestion would be an increase in the backround contrast....maybe a bit more darkness to it, maybe some clouds, mist, anything to help the depth of field! I am usually the adept of highly defined brightness and contrast! So, it might just be me....! Great image anyways! Best of luck!

also not the first time i see this, nothing new, but is good in technique, good luck

Grate!!!

wht a match for mr. cmyk..............grt wrk..............

looks as if all the feedback i could provide has already been said. therefore,,, GREAT JOB... all the best with your entry.

Congrats to Mrs. CMYK for being top 7!

congrats
