Cool! One thing though, as far as I know laser beams lose energy and dissipate, not come to a sudden stop!

IRONCOW says:

I would have to type so much to say all that is wrong Im sorry. The rocket and the zeppelin seem to have light from different sources and almost no shadows? the rocks to the back left have light from the top casting almost no shadow, yet the rocket ship has a massive long shadow? the rock to the bottom right is casting in between ? and the moon in the back has light coming from behind the camera so making every shadow in the image wrong ? They are all wrong !

IRONCOW says:

This is good but like all the other entries the border and outline is far to sharp, blur and or a outer glow to make it look printed and not so Well photo chopped.

Beautiful on both accounts! I think a touch more contrast would have better showed the warmth of the wood.

good image light source seems to be coming from the front or slightly to the side goin of the reflection on the rocket i think the shadow looks like light source is behind the rocket

Funny one. Suggestion: since the other alien is in the rocket, he may can do with some shading, just like the astronaut in the original rocket source. Good luck!

Poster edges and paint daubs is two of my favorite tools. I would have created two layers, one with poster edges, and one with paint daubs. Then I would have erased her inner skin on poster edge layer reviling the creamy paint daubs layer and leaving a poster edge outline. Just a thought.  Looks good! And it looks like a tarot card.

wazowski says:

Good association, the girl certainly fits well for a Mucha theme. Perhaps I'd make the outline a bit thicker so there's a better link with the circle in the background (and if you'd like also add a few thinner lines on her arms, hair, etc). And if you réally want, you may want to change the position of the words a bit: instead of overlapping them, let them fit in the leftover space (blue background) of the image, so that text and image all become one. Up to you. Good luck!

Mmm, some more about the text: I see in original Mucha posters that the text is also behind women and other images, so that may be an option too

I think what he was trying to say is, actually its bird's back where warrior's front it. The bird is looking 90 degree to right. But still, this is awesome work and quite believable in my opinion.

kcinsti says:

Author, I agree with both you and Wazowski. You because yes what you're saying is possible, but Wazowski because despite that it still doesn't look quite right, and also because I agree that deleting at least some feathers would help the illusion.

You could perhaps have subtly perspective-transformed both bird and warrior in opposite directions to match up a bit better...anything that fools the eye helps!
