Nice idea, keep it up!

Hi there author, yes it's me here as well. Nice image ; )

Nice image but agree with reflection. ; )
On the entry page below the actual entry slot is choices for Hi Res and below it for step by step how it was done.
After entered look under mystuff and contest

Very nice!

All it has to do is start moving!! Nicely done! ; )

Ditto on this one, you are trying every 3d prog. I would love to know which works easiest. I'm fooling with 3d model and diving into blender so maybe one day I'll be brave enough to enter here. ; )

Bravo I agree on seeing you work your butt off and learning as you go, keep swinging it gives incentive to us who are only considering 3d stuff. ***** 5 stars too you. ; )

Don't forget the sharp line by the lowest lip!! ; )

Very neat use of source! ; )

Very nice look and feel. ; )

Very nice piece!

Nice idea but the steam need some more blurring, edges showing! ; )

Nice idea but the liquid looks solid! ; )

Vey Nice! ; )

Nice idea. But agree if they were facing each other the idea of struggling with ageing would be more apparent. ; )

Nice background but the eyes on the ball need something they look so dead. ; )

Nice idea and put together nicely, one suggestion, consider darkening the contrast to help carry across the emotion of the struggle!

Funny idea!

Nice idea but agree about the boat angle, to see that much into the boat you would have to be farther above the boat or it would be leaning a lot towards the viewer

Nice details!

Very nice! ; )

Very nice! ; )

Nice classy piece! ; )

Very nice idea,But 1 suggestion, raise the line where the water and wall meet, now it distracts from the fountain, if raised it would look like the back wall ceiling meeting behind fountain and not distract from main focus point. ; )

Good idea but you need more depth and heigth on the tunnel. ; )

Very nice idea, but he should watch those rough edges. ; )

So he can never use the peace sign?? ; )

Nice idea, Rotors could be bigger and more visable. ; )

Really nice idea, pretty, reflections do seem a little strong. ; )

Neat idea, there is never enough scifi images. ; )

Nice idea!! ; )

Very nice, it came out nice, but the eyes could use a touch to make it really wow! ; )

Very Nice!

Really nice on rider and ridee as well as ground, but the clouds do take away a little from the rest. ; )

Neat idea but could use some more details. ; )

Very nice image the tire spots bugged me a little though they seem to down play the rest. ; )

Nice idea well put together, but think about some details like shadows and softening background for depth and what is it standing on?? ; )

Something to remember a reflection of cabinet won't be showing through the big bowls reflection. ; )

Nice piece but no floor surface does seem odd?? ; )

Neat idea but think about having the eye focus on the main focal point (the glass) with shadows and softening focus on things further away and closer. ; )

Nice pieces but the shelf needs to be reflected on floor and try slight difference in shading of shelves surfaces and shadows on background piece they would leave. ; )

Really nice piece just a little dark on my monitor. ; )

Nice background and wings are sharp and crisp, face soft, think about using spherize for sharper rounded images. Suggestion only! ; )

Nice idea. Missing a post though. And watch reflections. ; )

Nice idea but missing the 3rd post. ; )

Neat idea but it does seem a little dark to me. ; )

Nice construction from original. ; )

Now I'm new here but what I don't understand is why usually everyone yells when there isn't a step by step how I did it. Then other times not a peep from the same people who usually toot the horn loudly??? Newbie wondering??

Here is but 1 tutorial on making nice glass balls. http://www.lunacore.com/photoshop/tutorials/tut009.htm

Funny idea, Maybe think about softening lines and edges of Snowman because of defusion of glass layer?? ; )
