Love the concept. Might want to color the bird and make it LOOK like a piece of magic.Check out the tut suggested in Zulibleu's " Redemption Song" in this contest.

VERY NICE!!!! great sbs!

lol awesome!

sparklen thanks for tutorial suggesstion, I have adopted some steps from it but the idea of bird inside water splash came during reading tutorial .

okay.. this is very very very very weird author... I LIKE IT.. hehe.. it really grows on ya..

Great change, now i'm feeling the magic!

Sweet manipulation, the effect around the bird looks amazing!

I love water effects. This one is pretty good!

i like it!

WOW!!!

Congratulations for 2nd, funky

Congrats!!

congrats!!

Congrats!

congrats

ya kinda don't need the back ground on this one (I like how you lined up the circles aroun the eyes).. I think the background almost takes a way from the work (lines up too well).. but that could be just me.. great Idea all round though

Very nice idea, but i'd change the background, it matches up too clesely with the face painting, and i'm sure that's the bit you want to keep

Interesting idea...

Thanks for the advise guys..........it looks MUCH better!

i didnt see the firts background but this one does look good... may i hand youi another tip.. thru his hair on top and the site you see the whiter background shine thru... its what i call the "hit by a grassmower" look XD. I wrote a tutorial how to avoid it but it was on the old lpst site and its gone now so the best tip i can give is search for a tutorial to redraw hairs or wait till this site has my tutorial again

cool

Nice face paint.

cool

i think you should try blurring the shadows a little, they look kinda sharp. Good luck!

i think you can do more than just cutting the images and putting them together

Thank you for comments all.... Blurred the shadows

nice conglom .. good luck

IMO a good stone or dirt floor might be more effective than the green, but I like the rest.

good work

very nice

You should try to make it more one piece. It needs more work on the shadows and lighting.

good idea...but they just don't look right in there

now you can say you made art!
