Excellent work, the sources were mean`t for each other

Nice Image, you need to show your other source though, looks like a 3d rendered head with a layer of motion blur.

Great work author

Very nice image, not sure whats producing the light but hey thats all part of the mystery

Hope that roof holds up, could have a disaster on their hands! well done Author

nice, I like the light rays

Well I like it, if for no other reason than the "find the monks" game you incorporated

Nice image, well done author

congrats sweetie

On receiving this I think The Mont-ster might simply change his password. Then he`ll send in the big boys (lchappel & Nator) to kick ass...he`s very gangster ya know! ..... nice one though author!

I love it .... these sort of slightly morose & extremely creative entries don`t get the recognition they deserve on here, I hope this is an exception. Well done author!

It wasn`t an accusation, tutorials are there to be used an learn from....however your image is so very close to the tutorial that it should atleast be mentioned if for no other reason than to give the author of the tutorial recognition for "their" idea.

Nice, but fairer for the voters if you mentioned this : http://innerseduction.com/space-explosion-photoshop-tutorial-022009/

Personally I`m not as offended by this as some, however I dont think it looks like an ass, IMO it looks more like 2 chickens eggs.....which luckily if adapted could create a less offensive "crack" image. Fresh eggs at dawn but one or both is cracked? or dawn emerging from a cracked egg ? just a thought

I agree with erikuri, a string or chain would have been a nice addition, but nice overall image

well done, top 3

Sweeeeeeeeet! one of my top 3 ! well done

ROUGH TRANSLATION = at the level of the stomach I worked with the texture of the lawn using a filter then I played with the threshold, and the levels..... and for the jeans balanced its colors, in the matter of the flower I have selected only half and I carried out a horizontal swap and copied the right leaf and to finish I used the tools density more and less to put relief...... Geexman: wish I had someone so coool to help me beat the system! hehe ( it was a ROUGH translation though)

Love it

excellent job

Love the mood, but I have to agree the shadows need work, the bottle and pills seem to be hovering. Very Nice image though

lol ... let me get this clear, I asked if you had illustrated it, you lied and said yes & offered to fake an SBS to prove you had. Then I produce the brush you used for said illustration. You admit you lied but blame me for not pointing out your dishonesty sooner? ... yeah I can see how I could be at fault here.

I noticed the same thing as Erikuri, good advice

nice but I would have definatly given it the full droste effect, good luck

sad yet sweeeeeeet!

I love the mood on this, not sure about the amount of blur on the background compared to the model, yet it does make him the focal point which may have been the intention, nice entry

hehe I recognize this girl , nice entry and good source

superb entry! definatly a favourite of mine

Thanks for going to great detail to show your "illustration technique", Judging by your SBS you "illustrated" this specifically for the bra to fit the girl? but I cant understand why in high res there is an the outline of previous bikini straps, this usually occurs when you use the magic wand tool to remove colour then the fill tool to replace it with skin colour, the straps also dont feature anywhere in your sbs. Also from steps 3-12 you seem to have coloured between her legs a small patch of scarlet which looks the same shade as the outline I mentioned. Just to add insult to injury you claim to have Illustrated the palm tree, yet I know it is brush 1144 from this brush set http://www.brusheezy.com/brushes/1312-Complete-Tree-Brush-Pack, this breaks the rules as a brush set is a source.

Very nice indeed, I`m guessing you illustrated the palm tree too?

Excellent work, high votes from me for not using 3d renders!

very sweet, and you do sweet sooooo well

I love this entry, should definatly place high

Fantastic entry! Best of luck

Love it !

well done, its a winner for me!

Very nice work author, it deserves a good place, well done!

This is Great work! well done

Needs the blending work as already suggested, not a bad effort though

excellent image

Although the fix hasnt altered the overall look, IMO it could have stayed as it was, the extruding part of the snakes head would have simply been drawn on the right hand side of the road (avoiding overlapping the grass of course). Altering the perspective of a normally flat drawing and making things jump out from the ground is what makes these types of artists unique. Nice Entry btw

Congrats, great work!

congrats bad boi! knew it was a winner!

Excellent job, by far the most realistic! GL & well done

Had a feeling I knew the author on this! , crisp, clean, weird and wonderful, I love this and love your work!

Love it! This has to place high

lol, I see why it has no mouth, all the hard work went into the arms, top entry for all the right & wrong reasons

hehe, cute & nice contrasts

Lovely colours, reflects the childlike fantasy

very beautiful
