very manga wanga tanga

Outstanding! Great reconfiguring of features and recoloring. I do find the (awful lot of!) sparkles too flat/same plane because they're all the same size, however.

The eye on the right (as viewed) is misshapen rather than round in the iris area and the side edge by the head. But a nice source image to work with.

Congratulations!

Congrats!!

Dang, the most frightening Popeye yet!

I would love to see how you manipulated that image. It's truly awesome!!!

It's a bit too dark and the torso should be defined... otherwise well done.

It's a pity that the mouth has maintained its liquify look.... I'd say it's the only thing that's stopping it from being a great entry.

this is terrific (his winky eye is missing) but I don't think that detracts in any shape or form... it has a great portrait angle and would look GREAT FRAMED!!! good luck author

Congrats!!

Congrats!

Light on house & balloons is from upper right. Shadow should be cast accordingly. Otherwise this looks good.

Better, but the shadow is smaller than the house...and don't you think the balloons would have shadows too?

Much better. Good luck, author!

Author when I'm having trouble with how to do a shadow I Google image search for pics which might have examples of real shadows in a similar scenario/landscape/light setting, in this case maybe a tree with a large canopy, something like this perhaps

Congrats!

chubby butt!

Congrats!!

It would be good if there were some characters in there with her. At the moment it just looks like a girl with lots of flowers and not a feeling of Alice in Wonderland.

hey that looks much better author

Very neat take on the contest

Very cool! Nice work.
