The distorted areas are very blurry looking, and the eyes look too much like stickers pasted on top, rather than integrated into the actual face. They have no depth, and look very flat.

This is an imaginative concept, but the technical execution needs some work.

Great Idea for a beginning contest, you could reproduce the LINES of the fence and place them over the manipulations for more reality and a gentle burn tool on the edges of the side of the eyes will give them more roundness.

Just a little help (I love your cookie monster colors )... good luck author

great concept.. love yoru choice of animal.

ilike the image, nice source, nice work. The text below it is ok i guess it just the reflection of the text that bothers me...

Get rid of the text , my opinion..... nice work

Great work, but I agree on getting rid of the text, it's distracting. Let your work speak for itself. Nicely done!

I agree text is a bit distracting, image will be better without it. Great job.

edit: Text are Removed. Thanks for the suggestion & liking it.

Looks stunning, i think the creature looks rather cute. The lower part seems to lack some detail compared to the mid-top parts. Amazing lighting as usual :P

Love the face..pretty sharp!..and beautiful mood.

my fav too..by the way

brilliant, very artistic, good luck author

Oh, very cute little creature!
Very well done. I love the colour pallet you used.

wonderful work

SO PURDY!

Thanks everyone!!!

aweseome effect : its such a cute creature

Thanks you!!! Funny how you can take pieces of a totally NOT cute animal and make it sorta cute
and
@Akassa, there is definitely more detail towards the top. Partially because that is where I want your eye to go, and partially because it got really late last night and I knew I wouldn't have much more time to work on it, so I called it done

Thanks nator!! Took LOTS of painting to get the light to look like this

That is a great work....love the creature. Great imagination! Good luck author.

Thanks!
