"Only source used?" Wow...very well made, author. Just a shame that you can't really see the keys anymore. Would be nice if you could incorporate it somehow into the picture as you can't exactly recognize the source without looking at the SBS.

Wow...excellent work. Great job, author!

Um...sorry, but his head is still squished.

Nice one! Some of the photos are a little blurry compared to others but the overal image is good.

Haha! Well done and very creative!

I dunno...I don't like the sign. It's not entirely true. Sure, there are alot of idiots in the world but the whole point is that everyone's welcome into heaven if they're deserving of it.

Agree with CMYK. Why is he so squished?

WHOA!! Amazing job with the robot...and the abstract background is awesome. Well done!

Silencer...he will.

OH MY GOD THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!! AWESOME WORK!!!!!!!!!

I find it odd how some stray shadow is being cast onto the vase from the left as if it were a flat object...otherwise, you did an awesome job. Very creative and well executed.

Well, at least we have some strawberries now to counter the bloodiness of the other entries...

Good one! Very realistic and well made.

HAHA!! Brilliant! And excellently done...

Not bad! Unique and well-made. Good luck, author. I DO often tend to think of various colors when I play certain notes...

...I found the Garuda but I don't see the piano. Or the fingers. Or anything that could possily be asscociated with the source picture.

Oh okay, maybe it is a spider web, then. What I mean is that there's an incredible difference from the very sharp base of the arch to the very blurry top half that I believe is the texture from the tree.

FINALLY an entry that looks realistic. Well done, author.

EDIT: In high-res, you can still see part of the original face...

Aww!! That's hilariously adorable...great work!

Looks still quite fake...do as CMYK says, and also remove the shadow behind his head and fix the bulging sides of the neck.

Lol @ CrystleClear...I agree with author.

Plus, the top of the arch looks incredibly blurry...too much to ignore. And there seems to be a little bit of a transparency crack on the right side. I also agree with CMYK. But definately, nice effort and great idea.

I see CMYK's point, but the image is awesome otherwise. You can never go wrong with giant objects stuck in the desert.

Beautiful work....very beautiful. The shadow of the girl looks a little strange, though; would be nicer if it was cast back a little rather than just brushed beneath her. But otherwise your image is great. Nice work on the clouds.

Congrats on a well-deserved win!!!

ELVIS LIVES!!! And he's a scrawny grey-haired dude selling peanut butter and bananas. Cool!

BEAUTIFUL!! Very well thought and executed.

LOL!!! Hilarious work...
There seems to be a strange black blotch under the wrist, and the raised finger appears to have a bit of a burn on its tip. Fix that, and you're good to go.

Why are all these piano player entries slathered in tomato sauce?

You need to work on the keys. They're extremely distorted and two of them are welded together. IMHO, this would be much better if you just used the original position of the hand and texturized it, rather than having to do so much smudging on the keys.

Congrats, Erika!

Beautiful work! Congrats!!

Langstrum, I can say with all honesty that you've offically become a master at Photoshop. Amazing. Congrats on a well-deserved first.

Sorry, this is just too minimal use of source...

Wow...that's some incredible detail. Great work!

Oooooooooooo....

...kaaaaaaaaay........

A shame this didn't get a higher place...nice work either way.

Agreed....I'm sorry I missed voting on this...it's astounding!!!

Kind of minimal...but still a good job.

Congrats!

Congrats!

Congrats! Ooh oooh EEK!!

GRATZ on a very well deserved win.

Grats on the beautiful swan...so lifelike!

Congrats!!!

Beautiful work...well made!

Lol and I actually like the rainbow! Ahh it doesn't matter...great picture!!

AwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaRRGGGHH!!!! GAH!! GET IT OFF OF ME!!!
LOL so adorably evil... ^ ^ I agree with nick that some claws would add a nice touch. Great work otherwise.

W.O.W. That's all I can say. I agree with Langstrum...the anatomy here is awesome! Amazing work!

LOL! I second all three comments here...nice work!!!

EDIT: OH! One last thing: turn the pentagram upside-down. As it stands, it's a wicca symbol. Invert it, and it becomes the Sigil of Baphomet, the satantic pentagram.

Beautiful image...though you might want to try and see if the girl looks any better without too much glow (specifically the inner glow). Great work, and I love your description.
