outstanding.... Good luck author....

good one

Very good work author...one minor minor suggestion,the black spot above the eye is too big and ruins a facial expression...Good luck

Thank you for the comments
@erathion: made the spot smaller. Is it better?

It is author...u really did great job there...one of my favorite in this contest...gl

Nice job. Would have been more realistic if you had used real dalmatians for reference on the spots.

Nicely done, but I agree with CMYK, about the spots...

CMYK46 and erikuri, thank you for the advice, maybe it would have looked better to use real spots, but I tried and wanted not to use other sources for this one

Good blend. GL!

congrats Giulia!

thank you Oana

Congrats for your second place, Giulia!

Congrats!

Congratulations for 2nd

thank you!!!

Congrats........very well done

Congrats!

cool! but you could match the toes with the hand maybe. also, add the stitches part in your sbs

thank you for the comment and advice elficho, you were fast :d I was still working on the SBS, it's all up now and the non-matching colors...they are on purpose, to emphasize the disembodied theme. anyway, thanks again

urple .. voting quickly to get away from this entry (very good btw) just very hard to look at.. good luck

Really nice idea here, the toes could do a bit of darkening i reckon, but good luck!

Good and creepy!

Really creepy...! Love it...in a strange way....! There is still some slight hollow around some of the finger-toes.....! Maybe fix that by defringing or bluring edges....and it's perfect! Best of luck!

Very creepy, in a good way

Frankenstein would love this! Creepy and good idea!

Creepy and fascinating at the same time! Good work

surgeons take toes to replace severed fingers, pretty good job recreating it!

ACK! That's so awfully creepy! I can barely look at it!

I have to hand it to ya great Author is a creepy one for sure

Nice ., i've seen a little similar idea in a movie ' Æon Flux ' ; Love the Stitches.,

bhaha creepy

HAHAHA cool!!

no chewing on your toe nail :P.. nice work

very nice

wow, love the idea!

Very Nice, GL

GREAT IDEA . I LIKE IT. . GOOD LUCK

Very nice idea indeed and good colouring!
Just one thing... I think you should toggle the "n" and the "a" in "sensatioanl"
Good to see something from you again. I suppose you ran out of excuses?

Thanks for the comments!
Lelaina, I made the changes, you have a good eye And yes, today I REALLY ran out of excuses

i like it

Nice mood. It seems people were good to children in the old times... nowadays (in my country at least) free entrance only for children till 3 or 4 years old. And a teen of 14 pays adult ticket!

Very clever idea. Well done!

very nice work author...i like different approach to the source...best of luck

Pretty well done. Tiny suggestion: you added shadows for the horse and the guy. But there where the 2 shadows hit each other, it's like the one adds more shading to the other (it's darker), wile -I assume- there's just one light source. Therefore there should be only one shadow too (so the shadows shouldnt overlap each other but just be one). Good luck!

Great idea and execution (shadows kind of looks outlined), but really great take on the subject.

Thank you for the comments!
waz, you're right... now that I think about it. I should have done the shadows like you said, but it's late now
Thank you anyway, I'll know from now on

good and nice

Congrats for your third place, Giulia! See, having no excuses isn't a bad thing

Congrats! for 3rd place

hi,.....congrats,.....very nice entry....

Congrats for your third place

Congrats miss Giulia...

Congratulations!

And your blog is excellent!

Oh, thank you very much for the congrats!!! I missed this, finally to have a chop and get comments ♥

And erikuri, i'm glad you like my blog :P

Very nice and very interesting to see your new entry ^^. I just have a small suggestion of erasing the black strokes around some fishes, this can be seen clearly in the HiRes. Best of luck to you

I really like this one. I especially like how you created the ocean surface (being viewed from below) and the ocean floor as well. langstrum is right about the fish strokes, but again, only on close inspection. My only other nit-picky critique (again, only noticeable in hi-res) would be the pearls by the oyster. They seem to be floating instead of lying on the ocean floor. Maybe some shading or scaling? Just a thought. You have a great command of lighting. Impressive work overall.

thank you for your comments, I will try to fix the fish asap Thanks again, much appreciated!
EDIT: I tried to get rid of the black strokes... I hope this is better

nice job but i think it will be more realistic if you put the algae in the side of the image or if you cut the trunk but still nice idea

beautiful

Outstanding!

sheeesh... thank you guys for the comments and Favs

Good job!

Grrrreattt job....

Nice idea to turn the tree into a sea- weed

good work

The focus is all on the right of the piece.. not that that is a BAD thing.. I'm just thinking how grand this would be as a Xmas Card with the Merry Xmas text in the floating dark area on the left.. for the contest I understand why the text is voided...good luck on this author..

neat

I know that I saw this image before on the pst site Nice job

Nice!!

This would make a beautiful Christmas card...very pretty, love the Snata and the tree
