Nice construction from source with good sbs. Agree with anoop about head distortion.

Nice work, well constructed.

Good idea from source. Nice job.

Congratulations.... very nice work!

very good..idea and work. bravo

Really good concept...IMO would be even better in muted color, but still sweet.

Thanks for the comment's I changed it to where it had a little more color, I liked both the black and white and the muted color idea too just couldn't decide but the muted color seems to give a more vintage feel . Thanks cmyk

fantastic pics ! I can see the winner

Nice blend. However, this character is simply way too gigantic for the scene. There is not enough distance - implied or actual - between her and the closest car in the background, or balance between the size of "yellow lines" in the street compared to her shoe next to them, to justify the degree of disproportion. I'm not suggesting she should be humanly proportionate, just not so gigantic for the surroundings. A very easy fix would be to re-size the background larger.

That may be taste, but this is technical: the shadows are cast in the wrong direction for the light pattern on the legs - all you have to do is look at the real shadows in the original to see that the light on the legs is coming from the front, not the back, as your added shadows imply. To fix this, you can darken the front of the legs and brighten the back of the legs. Or you can try flipping that background.

Ugh! The dreaded "flatten layers" Oh well. You're welcome.

Congrats, it was close!

Congrats!!

Congratulations!

Thanks guys

Beautiful background texture and very nice colors!

That's all freehand?!? it looks like a medieval painting...well done author...very intersting take on source image

Thanks Guys i meant free hand without using any source and going by memory I tried to find a resource to go by and usually I do but could find a bird with enough detail and facing a style so just "winged" it :P (pun intended)

Lovely image, GL!

Congrats!!
