Needs more matching texture on the face, but good color match.

Great blending, but the difference in noise between the face and the clothes and hand is disconcerting.

Very nice blended, GL!

Very common idea but not bad. GL!

Nice Idea adding the clouds/stars blend.

The area where the 'hair meets the baldness' (I dont know the correct word ..SORRY ) is very sharp, try the blurr tool or low pressure smudge tool there. (left side is more visibe... I mean his right side) And the top edge of the head is flat(not tooo flat, have a close look ) , use the clone stamp tool or patch tool to add some texture there.. A little bit will do.. otherwise it's a good blending and good skin colors... and good proportion...

Nicely done mixture of day and night. Original concept!

great use of source.....good colouring and nice construction of camel ... good entry author.

Great idea & execution...GL author!

I agree with CMYK, but the idea is great! I like it!

Good idea, but fix & soften the feather edges.

Congrats!

I agree that you designed a cute character, but the problem is it's half realistic, half comic/painterly. I know that you're really active in giving critiques and I found them mostly accurate, but it's better to do your own works more carefully so what you said can be more convincing to other people. Please don't take it offensively, I appreciate your contributions

Nice mask - I agree with the crop suggestion

cool work.

This is a beautiful mask! Lovely colors. I just wish you had cropped the top off.

It is beautiful. well done.

This one looks so good!

cool!

Very creative

Very nice, GL!

cute

Oh!! I feel bad now, i had disabled animated content and I was only seeing one photo and some description on top. I thought you were slacking,the SBS is ok - my apologies.

LOL, it's like a Pokemon. Nice design author, but your SBS reminds me of the "How to draw an owl in 2 steps" tutorial:

You could at least make a print screen of the psd file.

Very cute. Needs a bit of highlight on the face area to give the body dimension, since the light source is from the right. GL author.

more.. Fast and Furious than cars.. but nice pic!

Doesn't say "funny movie" to me, but it's a good graphic.

If only they looked like that when I buy one lol.......... thankgod for the taste of them

Hold the onions on mine please. Very good job on the blend. Best of luck.

yummy!!!

Very cool realistic work author...blend is very nice, but perspective of the cheeseburger should be slight different, if u look at the position of the plate and the french fries, burger looks to much flat. I know its to late for changing now but could be easy done wirh perspective or distort tool...GL

nice work but i would like to work more on shadowing.this looks somewhat unreal but anyway overall good work

Good blend.

Congrats!!

Thanks, it's nice to be back, LOL. And, yes, I thought giving one deserved getting one. Nice update, BTW.

Wow, I've been away for a while but I see some artists have gotten nastier in defense of their work, instead of appreciating comments and questions. One thing I learned and appreciate about THIS site in particular: HOW you achieved your effects is almost as important as WHAT effects you achieved. Only a good SBS proves what you did. Smarmy remarks by artists against the importance of SBS may work on other sites, but not this one.

Now, for your entry. This nice effect on this beautiful woman's face would benefit from more vibrant eyes, as seen in many of Dragan's works.

I agree with the others on this one. It doesn't look like you did hardly anything to the photo.

in my opinion the dragan style, is not simply a sum of filters and adjustments, I think the choice of image is important to achieve a dramatic image and hard, and I think it is the case with his work

Where's the Dragan effect in this? Sorry, not seeing it even in hi-res. There are several tuts out there, though some are better than others. Many ways to achieve the contest effect, author.

Not much of an sbs when there's no commentary and just a single gif step.

great image, good luck!
