Nice idea. Maybe you should ad some fog in front of the godess too to cover her feet (I personally don't like how the feet were cropped). But that's my oppinion. Good luck.

Animal House Toga Party on Neptune?

Of all his stock, this one is my favorite. I could just never figure out what to do with her. You did and you did it beautifully. Adding it to my favs. If I could add it twice, I would.

it is amzing

Wow it's so pretty..I love this kind of work...high vote and fav

Beautiful image, well made SBS...mucha luck, author!

very nice piece of work !!! love how you've made spilling water ... GL!!!

Thanks everyone!
Derdevil, the water was the first thing I saw in my mind when I looked at the contest source, imagining "waves" from the curves of the power supply. It took a bit of work to make it look more organic in form, but I'm happy with the way it turned out, thank you for noticing!

Yeah..cool thinking.

I think that the water was an especially subtle and creative use of the source image. This is a really wonderful piece of art!

Fantastic Work........ Love the concept. Good Luck Author.

Awesome Work!!! Love the SBS, certainly a teaching tool for me! I am learning as I go through experimentation and I don't have photoshop so this entry just amazed me. Then to see the SBS...all I can say is WOW! Good luck, truly a fantastic entry.

The concept is nice and the SBS is very helpful.
Adding it as one of my favorites. Very nice job done.
All the best for your future works.

Beautifully done. Your SBS are very informative. Good luck!

beautiful view, love the ancient Greek mood, good luck

One of the best and surely a winner for me. Instant fav here author.

Wow, it looks great. It reminds me of Aquarius image and the effect is brilliant. Two thumbs up - well done

This work is beautiful, and good

Good job showing something recognizable from the source in an artistic way.

Appealing, but the slightly colorful background, particularly the pink roses, grabs my eye before the water maiden's muted tones.

Although the roses may grab your eye before the maiden, I doubt your attention stays there, since the maiden is in front of the roses...This then pulls your eyes to the maiden, her hair and the pouring water, which then makes your eye go to the circular pattern containing the source image, which is echoed in the water, directing your eye back to the background roses, and your eye begins the journey again...Notice that the pale roses (which match the maiden's dress) are at the bottom. The roses were deliberately rotated to place the colors that way...

That's the concept behind the composition, and why I selected the roses as well as the pink tones - to keep the focus from settling upon the maiden with the background as an afterthought.

beautiful

Really nice work, author, good use of source image. I especially like how you made the water.

Great clean work....should of been top 3 in my eyes.,

Without a HI RES it is very difficult to see the work.. (the edges could use some blur/smooth work for a tighter image.. and the little owl would cast a shadow) all IMHO but a very nice result

Thanks, it's my 1st one so I was being a big baby about putting HI RES..lol

It's very bright for a night scene. Hi-res would be good.

ok people.......Hi_res is on.

Overall not too bad for your 1st at pxl, welcome to the site

Nice, I love it!
and i must say
If this is really your first your going to be Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much better now...GL author.

thanks bryonics! It really is my 1st try at photo shop.

and thank you CMYK!

Congrats on placing so well with your first entry!

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! That's very nice of you. I love the one that got 2nd. way cool.

I can say no words, Mr. cintiq,......just fav from me and full vote...

Umm... you just said the words, Mr. dekwid.

Thanks for your compliments. Just posted this while I'm finishing this one today, not so detailed ofc... Tired of tight schedules. But, I can't hold anymore to post... maybe it's called post-gasm?

JUST PERFECT!!!

Very nice work, but there are some questions about the lighting.

Not perfect, theo... Nobody perfect, rite? And... Noentry perfect too.

IMHO, I still need to tweak the legs, the upper phoenix-like armor, the non-blurred middle-part armor, err... there's so many things so little time. I just don't want to be late to post this girl here... she's ready for battle.

"Do you require aid, human?" she said to my ear while I creating her.

EDIT: yeah, the lighting too... I'm aware of that, I try to paint it over with clipping mask, but it will become dark, desaturated, I frustrated & well... I apologize for being lazy-ass...

gold for this .

Golden thumbs for you, guys... Appreciated so much!

Thanks, Roon. Your works gold too.

Wonky anatomy. Arms, legs and perspective. The cornucopia on the shoulder is visually out of place.
Really nice concept, but somewhat sloppy execution.

"...Not perfect, theo... Nobody perfect, rite? And... No entry perfect too."
That's a poor excuse.
This is not a competition site to make excuses. No entry is perfect, but generally we try our best with our entries...

Author, you also don't need to tell us the software and drawing tablet you use for your entries. This gives away your identity too easily.

It is very beautiful colors are great and the background is beautifuly done and the armor...... wish I could do that. The only 2 things that throw me off about this piece are the left arm (the arm with the hand grabbing the spear) and also the left foot it seems it looks like it's missing the shoe and foot. It's been a while since I been at this, and commenting n stuff

Other than that I think this is a wonderful piece

I apologize about the identity "software + hardware". Changed.

Yeah, ofc it's wonky coz I'm rushing to do this just for several hours. IMHO, I'm trying to put this idea first of all. Okay the execution was sloppy. Fine by me. I'll do the best for next time over a week absolutely just 1 piece of stunning design. Since I'm doing this by speed not accuracy & dexterity. If you want my perfect resume, it can't be done in two days of rushing things together.

So bare with me, would you? Please?

Thanks, DigitalDreamer for the input. It's not missing, it's just too narrow for my eyes too. I'll add depth if this contest got enough time to spare.

I think it won't be anonimity in your entries as most of them look the same techniques, and Mossy is right, you do not have to mention the time you spent and the programs you used to make your works, as you have done in all your entries. Well, it is you, the artist who decided what to say and what to post. I am just giving a point of view. Yes, it is beautiful again.

George, thanks for your words.

Time-spent & stuffs like that were NOT to bluff, boast or something.

Really, I'm not comparing pxleyes to any other forums like CGSociety & CGHub.

But.

People out there were add the time consumes + products to recall & honor their valuable times. I learned this way & by doing like that; I really know what I'm doing, not wasting a single time. Speed is the priority of my works. I almost see the clock every-time. Yeah, some people may say it's utterly useless, freak, idiocy or something.

For me, this is who I am.

NP author I checked out the SBS and seen it their just maybe the way the angle looks idk I'm no expert at this stuff hehe.

No entry is perfect lord knows mine are always in need of some tweaking here and their lol, and of course no one is always perfect 100% all the time unless you get paid to do this hehe. While speed is great to have on your side some times speed can ruin the quality of ones entry even if you know what your doing because some members here do vote for quality and execution rather than prettiness and good ideas. You are who you are, don't feel so responsible for it :P We all have our own ways and style of how we do things.

something wrong for the hand? Look like missing? Maybe too close for the body! Try to get more on depth of field! More better feel!

Stunning ! I say no more

Very nice image.

Superb!

beautiful work

You are quite talented, author - chopping, digital drawing AND storytelling - you could produce entire books! I know how it is to get an idea, then try to crank it out in time to upload for a contest. Would love to see this tweaked and then hi-res. Overall, great job.

great work!!

Very well created super hero

Congrats!!

Congrats on your entry Author! Well-deserved win! I like missy comment on MossyB. I hope he internalize that.

Thanks, everyone. I went a lot of terrible times within this creation & couldn't change the picture with the suggestions. Also right now, I'm a bit down with some matters. Maybe I'll had the time-off from Pxleyes.

Thanks for the great time, everyone. Cheers!

@bcabilan; thanks for your kind words, man. But it's not "he", but "she".

This is really good... Best of luck...

Not bad!

Oh, she is something like a female Zeus the Thunderer

At Cornelia : Actually she s more like Storm from X-men.

beautiful

Love that blue lightning! Cool image, author.

Congratulations!
