So I guess after you unlock your phone, then you retrieve it from the window you just threw it through? GL!

Thanks for the laugh... i really needed that... Good luck

Yep the expression is priceless, imo green blood would work too...good job

lol hilarious good job

Was it Professor Plum in the kitchen???

Nice creative thought. The blood puddle looks really good...I have a suggestion...possibly remove one of the light highlights on either drip. It'll keep it from looking repetitive. Great work.

LOL. great idea. very funy . good job author!!

Great suggestion PixelKid. Tried to change the small drop a bit.

Good idea......... nice execution......G/L Author.

Very funny.. I think your knife shadow needs to be a little smaller and shifted more under the handle.. love the expression..

Good idea, but he'd look like skin where he's against your finger...

good job

very original

Cool idea still needs work tho on the little guys legs "edges"

wow that poor camealon must need some prosac.. good job

CMYK: I have been trying to get the finger color like you said but so far it just looks cheesy. Will continue to work it and hopefully have it worked out before the contest ends.

good idea.

WOW!! i love this image!! excellent idea!! god job author!!

brilliant idea it also required alot a time and paitience well done author u have the rare idea which no one had from along time

That's an adorable idea!

coool blending love it!!!

Nice idea.

Great idea

Wonderfull idea! I guess some blur and light effects could be added to the iguana to make it look colorful. not transparent) good job anyway!

you did very well

Well done!

cool work...gl

The sphere needs to be round for a true effect.. (I've sold tons of those things out of my old gallery) Roundness will give it more realism (glass blowers seldom if ever make an ovoid crystal ball) but if you want to keep it ovoid I have no problem with that either.. I'm just thinking of keeping it real.. good luck author.. FUN PIECE

EDIT: Much better author.. really looks better.. I know it's tricky.. especially working with sphere.. if I could.. I'd put a sphere in every piece I entered

I thought it was a circle! I'll see if I can round it up a bit.

Edit: Round enough for ya?

It's floating above the hand...

CMYK, that was kind of on purpose. I'd love to say, to give it that Mystical Magical feel, but really I couldn't get it to look right sitting in the hand. Besides, it give it that Mystical Magical feel, don't you think?

Edit: one last attempt and I think I got it in the hand. I think I'm gonna stop there.

Nice

hmm.. something doesn't look right.. ok. the thing is that it looks like it's in front of the hand, not in or above it. if you still have the fingers on a seperate layer, put them behind the ball layer and play a little bit with the colors and blur maybe. just so it'll appear that the ball is somewhere in the hand area

good job

Nice, but I think you have to play way more with light and shades. Especially around the hand, I'd expect more shading there. Check this tutorial otherwise http://www.lunacore.com/photoshop/tutorials/tut009.htm. Good luck!

Very nice, good work

maybe make the edge of the crystal ball more defined

Congraaaats ... Nicely done!
