superb entry author !

Ha. I guessed before voting! I was SO right!!!! Nice job, author. Your use of sources is amazing. It was fun to look at the list of sources and see how you used them. Brilliant.

the matchstick eyes are very disturbing!!! I like that good luck

I just now saw this...haven't been here in a while. You're on fire...Stowsk! Way to go! Love the perspective change! Tricky and well done!

congrats!

Congrats!

Congrats!! amazing chop..

Congrats Stowsk very nicely done

this is a nice pretty piece of art but imho it should be a little more menacing looking. Again, just my opinion

well done,

nice panning

Love this! Excellent combo of elements.

Very nice

Congrats Stowsk! Really liked this one!

Great work!

Congrats!!

love it, creeps me a bit, it actually made me think of that old movie "The Birds" glad im looking at this at 4am and not 4pm lol

Yeah baby! Brilliant stuff! Love the detail and shadows. Agree with CMYK...great mood! Author...it's nice to see more new entries from you!

Good mood & color.
EDIT: On second look, I think the dirty glass would create a slight shadow on the face, but that's just me being fussy. I'm still really likin' this.

A nice, more subtle, smile.

Creative construction of the face, gl!

Oh yeah! Glad to see your work again, author! Excellent color and lighting! The care you took with the details like edges and highlights are simply awesome. You portray true emotion here in a clean, concise and dramatic way. Top notch as usual!

like the idea a lot. her mouth looks very pasted on compared t the rest of the work... i am sure that you selected the mouth out and only effected the rest of her face, but this gives it a different look, that almost takes your attention away from the rest of the great work on lighting such a disfigured face. On a personal note, i am not a fan of the added noise. it looks sharp and very unnatural under any circumstances. Great work, good luck!

Very interesting concept! I especially like the blue highlights...they add a lot.

One for the book...Great work! GL author!

super!

What can i say about this..mmmm....STUNNING!!!! GL

This has a real 'DC comics' look to it. Very nicely done! Love the grain look...especially in the lights and orangish light in front of him.
