added a (wannabee) shadow
resized the hat
made the flag more visible
(cant flip hat because i merged it :( ) (5 years and 3417 days ago)
No SBS and I'm too lazy to look at the undescribed sources to try to figure out what you did. I really like the colors, but I think moving the moon more to the right might yield a more interesting diagonal composition, plus more and longer shadows would seem to be in order. The distorted, giant horse head with the unusual human-skull snout strikes me as being too small a portion of the otherwise-essentially-realistic image to convey surrealism (beyond the admittedly strking impact of the strong contrast in the foreground/background coloring) besides being more odd than spooky as required by the contest description IMO. As for the 'deadly fog' in the title, the horizon is crisp and the purple clouds look like dust from the apparently crumbling towers, so I don't see any fog. (BTW what's with the white edge on the top of the towers in hi-res?)
Nice idea. IMO hat is a little big and needs to cast a shadow.
The silo work on the hat needs some clean up. I agree about the need for shadows also. The sentiment is nice.
You need to post sources as required by the rules and guidelines.
besides the above comments, you should flip the hat cause of the light source. and the stars on the flag in the sky are barely noticable
thx for comments, try to work on it
shadows won't work because i cant :p
you can't what? do the shadows? create a new layer below the hat layer, take a black brush with 0 hardness and start painting beneath the hat where the shadow sould be. then lower the opacity to whatever seems natural and convincing. then you'll have something.
@ elficho: thx, i thought u needed to use al lot of filters etc..
good one
Howdie stranger!
