Good luck with this entry.....

Wow, nice chop! But please include all your sources used, unless you made the planets yourself, an SBS would help. GL!

yea made the planets myself... but i will make an SBS so there isnt any confusion

I think this is glorious, the depth is amazing, love it, good luck author

thank you both for the comments

Who are you? The E.T. with dreadlocks?
Amazing work, author!

hahahah rastaferian alien. thats awesome! nice chop, and concept. Thumbs up!

Thanks for all the nice comments

very cool idea. ya, mon.

excellent...... Love it.... good luck author.

Creative and cool idea. The hippie wardrobe on the alien is very odd, however. (Why not apply some effects -- e.g., filters or different blend modes with duplicate layers -- to the hat and scarf separately to see if you can come up with fashion more 'alien'?) And there is no drama as the tones are pretty even across the image. I think your SBS Step 2 is compelling but Step 3 is bland, flat wallpaper IMO which translates into a flat final image (which then isn't particularly understandable without the explanation of your title).

lots of fun texture play here.. good luck author

great work......... all the best to u author...........

thank you all for the comments!!

I commented on your SBS. It explains how you made them but if you wanted to, put a few more steps into the SBS and try to pass it off as a guide, they might just buy it. I was just impressed with how well you make your background and would not mind knowing specifics.

That was a compliment BTW

Added a New SBS that goes more in depth.. Hope it is useful.
Thanks jawshoewhah for the tip

Great idea great work Author nice sbs for sure and ty for the brushes link.

Fantastic work author...High marks from me and good luck

well done, top 3

I like the mood and the originality ! Good luck

I just saw your guide. Much better! You should try to submit it as a tut. there were a couple techniques you used I was not familiar with.

Definitely one of the most unique entries. GL!!!

Congratulations!!!!!

Very good use of source!

original idea, i think u should used some glass in the window

Nice to see something a little different. I might nudge the background up a tad so the little boat in the distance doesn't look like it's sitting on the window cross piece.

thank you all ... I think it's a bit better...

interesting idea

nice view

very nice!

Good work.

tnx

I love this! Great job.

Are there birds flying? They're upside down...

lol! oh my!

Cool...one of the best...gl

thank you!

nice work .. GL

I agree with Nator, type doesn't work and detracts from the image. BTW on behalf of the great apes of the world, a gorilla is NOT a monkey.

nice, but did you use the photocopy filter or something like it on Kong ? I don't think he needed it, it gives him a newspaper cutout look. Nice masking around the railings mind

Really nice idea. The text and the filter on the gorilla spoil it a little.
