Congrats for your third place!

wonderful idea and good work. Love the way you made the background. I agree with other about the cigar in the nose, but hey, who says one can't smoke like that? I know people they shove the tobacco up the nose, so why not a cigar? The cards on the table are huge compared to the ones they hold in their hands. But the overall image is terrific.

It looks more like the cigar is shoved up the alpaca's nose than in its mouth lol... Also 1 of those alpacas is cheating as both have an ace of spades and one has an ace of hearts, which is on the table.

Great job on this. I love stuff made from scratch...that being said...choose which alpaca you want to keep and change the other's lighting. Right now, they are both being lit from behind...choose one and darken the back of it and lighten the front.

EDIT: Looks

Good idea. Yeh the cigar does look like its in his nose lol. Also the cards have perspective issues. Good luck and well done!

Good eye CMYK.. i didn't think about the legs, i thought that the chairs should have a small shadow under the chair itself... good luck though, great creativity!

As far as I can tell, they have no legs and one has a cigar up his nose...
EDIT: Aha! Legs!

Nice image love the flames your indian would also be backlit a small amount from the moon

very nice image.. the high res is wonderful

Nice idea, i'd like to see a brighter version, but good job!

it looks ok

haah that's a pragmatic sbs!! Nice mood but I agree it's dark

COOL!!

I wouldn't send a horse out on a knight like this

cool like the moon

good

Nice idea But: did u use Magic Eraser to erase some of the castle and the blue sky?.. Cuz the edges of the two are really sloppy, whereas the trees tops on the right are VERY blurred. May be u could fix these minor details and get much higher marks! Good luck autor! (some crazy lightning wold 1) look good (do they ever look bad ) ); 2) be a good excuse to add some dramatic lighting effects to the castle itself plus bring the whole thing back to life from the Darkness

It's good. Although you might want to touch up your chops. The rain is all fine and dandy, but the trees and the castle especially have some sharp edges. Try to soften them up a bit.

(Please view second half of comment (UPDATE))
dark darK daRK dARK DARK..... >>>>>>>>little dark (can you tell I think it's dark?) under high res I looked at quite closely.. kinda sad you can't see all that detail.. please lighten a bit... I know there is a lot of work in this..I just can't see it.. (Could be my eyes.. my computer is very new so I know it's not my puter).. good luck author

Author.. Must just be me.. I actually have that setting on my computer and I went in and did a full test.. It could be Florida Lighting (I loaded the image into my ps and I set the dodge tool on midtones and 100% and pulled out a HONKING HUGE BRUSH and went over the entire image in a rapid pulse... HOLY MOLY.. wow.. it was like opening a Christmas present filled with fireworks.. all the worked appeared in one big explosion) very beautiful work author. must be my eyes..

very nice. good idea author.

nice

Change of background? That's it??

Oh throw some gumballs in it.. you know you want too... LOL.. very nice author..way to get the ball rolling

Good Idea...Not sure the lighting is right...Maybe more of an orange highlight...Good Luck

Gosh.... Kinda agree with animmax though about the paw. And not sure, but it's a tongue there outside the mouth, no? Shouldnt it be a bit more coming from under the mouth? Would be funny to rotate the eye from the lower hedge hog so it looks more like the eyes from this emoticon . Good luck!
