nice entry author
i'd like 2 add more shadow under elephant
but overall is good composition

Thanks, Kushpatel !

Nice work author! best of luck!

Not a bad blend, but a pretty obvious idea.

Elephino

The edges where you've extracted the elephant from the background are very rough. You may want to try using the pen tool for more control.

You also need to adjust the edges which are shadowed and highlighted, as your background has the light source from behind the elephant, which would provide a back lit "halo" effect, rather than a strong highlight on top and a shadow beneath.

Such a pretty image of a happy little elephant in a field, love the whole image and all the hard work you put into it, quite beautiful!!! The image is very wonderful and a lot of love was used to create it, GREAT JOB AUTHOR!!!

Elephant is too green, and you might have been better off using a real sky. Still time to revise.

Very cute, i would bright a little more the sky and add some more light on the elephant's head.

i like it... but can change the sky to a more cheerful one?

Cute and happy, GL!

????? There was a revision and now it's back to the old version? The revision was much better.

Cute...

beautiful.....GL!!

I'm sorry to put out my Hi-res version since some of the details quite distracting for my eyes. Like the messy cracks & saturated shadows. I would like to make you enjoy the result from the preview version only as the reason for every matte painting quite embarrassing to see the messy details, so I seldom create the detailed versions of it.

Hollywood matte-painters like Dylan Cole taught me before; it isn't necessary for some paintings to be seen in detailed versions, if we're going to produce it to a large-cinema-scope scenes, we would do the 3D matte paintings, because the best-preview-renders should be in hires versions of pixels.

*Cheers*

This is lovely. The only distracting part is the white in the eyes. Being of stone, the white is too bright and distracting from an otherwise truly enchanting image.

I agree with you about the Hi-Res version not always being necessary in order to preserve the visual illusion created. Best of success to you!

Thank you, MossyB. I would like you to travel to my SBS. There's a credit to you there. ( ^~^)v

I blurred & darken the eyes before posting this, but it seems the statue so lifeless, since the main idea was an ancient idol with a protection and regeneration and blah2... so, it would be nice if the eyes should remain a little bit shiny.

its lovely work author I really like the background, and I think we can see enough details to not need a high res anyway
goodluck.

Wow wow wow.... Amazing work, in every detail! Congrats...

I'm agree with Dylan Cole but I'm just curious, very nice worik, GL!

Well done...congrants

love the moss effect! Congrats!
