Good use of source. Love those lemon eyes.

A not so chopped beyond recognition, if I may say.

Congrats!

Oooh cool! My brain went away for a few days and I missed this contest. Congrats my Angel.

Congrats.….

Congrats!

Good idea. Mountains need shadows, the figure could use more defined shadows, if not a reflection. Edges of the figure & globe could use some subtle blurring. I'm not sure about the texture on the model, but if you like it, that's your call.
PS: Good find on the mythology theme.

Excellent concept!

The face with chains look nice, though the texture also makes it a bit flat. You may want to add some highlights here and there so the face gets more volume (or darken here and there of course). I wouldnt mind to see the flames a bit more visible and recognizable. Good luck!

Thank you wazowski for your feedback, i made some adjustments with the fire and the colors,and i think it looks way better now

I love your entry but it needs one more adjusting, the planet in source 8 is someone elses photoshop work and you cant use it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/imaginedreality/170835601/in/photostream
also wheres the uncut photo of the girl? the on in the steps already has it cut.

I do love this image, the colors and the composition, the subject. its just fantastic great work and yes please do see this in highres its definately worth it.

OH THANKS ELADINE!!! I didn't even notice that, I'll get on replacing that planet right away! Also, I'll have to dig up the original photo too, I didn't save it unedited in the file I worked on. I may have to go back to the raw file and redevelop one.

And thanks Nator I might mess around with that a bit

I can just see this in poster format or in the postcard racks... you know those postcards with the special metalic printing? this would be so nice with that. beautiful work.

OH YES!! I know exactly what you mean about the metallic printing, that would be SO AWESOME!
Thanks again for your help! I ended up using the same moon picture used for the middle planets, to remake the one in the corner. I think it looks much better now anyway
Also I added the original pic to my SBS.

@ Nator, good suggestion, I made her a bit more "glowy" and added some more smoke and little glowing particles!

People should check out the hires before voting. It's really a treat at high res. Nice work as usual author!

Thanks pixelkid!! And yes I feel like this piece doesn't have the same impact in the smaller image as it does in hires
