Very nice depiction. good luck!

Being stuck in a 16 foot wine glass wouldn't make me very happy...

especially if it was full of wine... giggle snort...
HIGH FIVE MISSY

yummy!! My theory is, they got in there somehow... they must know a way out...LOL!!

looks nice.

That's a reflection/shadow on the glass, not in the glass, uhhmm right? I like it either way!

great job author

love the mood in this one

Okay, it looks good, and even though you're allowed to reacreate it from scratch, it just feels like the point of a source is defeated. I like it though.. good luck.

Ponty, actually this entry is a test. Discover this new rule few days ago and I want to know what are mods and PXL members reactions. Is something new and can be revolutionnary for the site.Just curious to see what will be the opinions.

Edit...if the mod will not remove it on the next half of hour

You used the source as a template, but you didn't manipulate the source image itself...

Well i like this and also your concept of taking the source image as ref and creating a whole new bike... Also a little off topic, is lightwave same as 3ds max??? Just curious cause I wanna learn Lightwave just for fun lol...

Edit: Just a suggestion, if you had made it in gold and silver type... You could have used some texture off the source... And hence you wouldn't be accused of not manipulating the source at all... I just want this entry to stay... It's cool...

you worked hard and did a good job. Even though I don't like that something can be re-created because it takes away from "manipulation", you are right in what you have done according to the updated rules.

CMYK, agree, use the source as template. Is not what the new rule proclaim ? Maybe the english is too subtle for me. LOL, not maybe, for sure. Arkncheeze, sorry, know nothing about Lightwave. But if you ask on forum about you will receive for sure an answer. Is easy for me to use some maps from the original source. But this is not my purpose. I want to discover what are the exact limits of the new rule.

OK, let me be more clear: There is NOTHING of the source image in your render. It's distorted and crude compared to the source, and you didn't use any part of the source pic in your final image.

i aggree with ponti. The rules sais its alowed so theres nothing to argue over really here... o.o; I cant say i aggree with it tho...

Author.. all you had to do is throw the finished image into photo shop and place a head light or the seat on the bike... just tweak it a bit, it will save you a ton of head aches (and the work is very well done) but I understand both sides of the arguement.. but it's good to discuss and figure out how to approach these wonderful new ways of manipulating art.. (melting the source into the background could work as well.. just an Idea )

real awesome!

very sweet pic.. if you isolate the mouth and put it on pillow emboss it will go inside his body (try the other effects as well) he's realy cute.. GOOD LUCK and welcome to PXL..others will be along to help you as well..GREAT FIRST ENTRY

cool

maybe add the pillow emboss to the red of the mouth, the arms and hands are looking flat, maybe do some shading on them to give them a rounder look. the bite mark in the half avocado should match the tetth of the one eatting it. Good luck and nice idea!

nice concept....I think u should use inner shadow on mouthh....instead of outer bevel....GL

lol that guy looks funny Gl

Cute Image...Work on the depth of the arms..Welcome and Good Luck

good work

welcome to the site and gl!

try to add some shadows under the bite, it seems like the two bodies are getting insied each other, good luck

very nice

haha, that's good! you can try maybe to add more realism to the facial expressions, as the mouth and eyes, to make it "alive". now they look glued there...but awesome idea anyway! keep it up!

text on the image is spoiling the look

gl

I kinda agree with gopan, yes. The sweet text looks a bit aggressive (on the other hand, if you did that on purpose to tell something contradicting like ie Bertolt Brecht does, then it can be interesting ). You may want to get rid of a tiny white border around the edges of the statue. I possible way to do that is to select the mask or object (ctrl+hit thumbnail in layer), then invert, then select-modify-feather with radius one for example, and then or fill the mask with black or just delete what's outside that image. Maybe not the most delicate way, but it can help. Good luck!

thanks wazwosky for the tips.

fonts can be better.....GL
