Rhino tough haha! I would blend the Airforce decal on his belly a bit and give more vapor clouds around the deck for the amount of thrust it takes to get this weapon airbourne. Good idea Author.

Dawg, not sure what you mean by "blend the decal more", but thanks for the suggestion about the vapor clouds...I think it's a lot better now!

Kevin, read the description again. It's fine and perfectly on theme. I would just suggest giving the Rhino just a hint of Gaussian blur to make it seem to blend but other than that, excellent idea, unique and well executed. GL!

@Kevin: "The animal must be flying using their own power (eg. by adding wings, a propeller, ....) "...so what's wrong with rocket power?

Josh, the rhino is in focus, the background is blurred because it's the rhino we want to see! Check the SBS.

Rhino must be used to fly, as it looks so cool... hehehe!...
Nice entry, author, very funny!

Wow!! Wished I had come up with this idea. lol..
...heat haze....think you could add a little heat haze?...
I came across a chapter in the library the other day. They select and use the ocean ripple.

wow...now live power force...great idea author...gl

nicely done

haha love it!

Really well done! I especially like the highlights on the lower part of the rhino. Only suggestion would be to change the black point on the rhinos head to match the gun. Good Luck!

hahahaha lolll

Author what i meant on the decal is maybe duplicate it, set to overlay,
then back off opacity on the under layer a bit.
But you did very well with the vapors so it is looking much better
Good luck to you

nice work on the smoke and the over blending

Nice rhino machine

Congrats for your second place, Bob!

Congratulations, Bob!

i think this should've won

Thanks, Rick!

Try to soften the edges a bit & give the feet more definition...what's the water there for? Doesn't look right...

Thanks CMYK for great suggesstion. Made changes as per your suggesstion.

Kudos to your originality I think your burned corners in the background is not necessary but just my opinion.

EDIT:Ya that looks better. You should do well in this contest.

Thanks jawshoewhah for advice, fixed

I really like this image...good job, but there's a line (shift) just to the left of the 'ground ball'...might want to eliminate that...

Very nice idea, ants are really strong

Really love this! great work. Isnt one of the back legs in the wrong place tho? shouldnt it be behind the rock because its from the other side of its body?

Thanks

Congratulations!

Beautiful work, very few images actually manage to look like paintings or srawings, but you did it perfectly!

I like it too! Can you tell us how you did that? It looks almost as you printed it out, painted on top and scanned it back in.

Well I drew it out using a tablet, blocked in the colours then added detail, more detail, and then some more detail :L Have a look at the step-by-step guide.

Would have been good if you had removed the plastic imperfections.

I think that this is absolutely gorgeous work! love it

Good image! Simple but effective...

Good luck!

wow great mood

Really very nice.

Great mood!
