really nice work

Boy, am I drooling or what?

Well looks like it would be tasty, nice work ,liked the other better but oh well those darn rules.

MMMM pudding

Great

This is wonderful. I really like the highlights that give the surface such a wet and shiny look. Great job!

wow, this is mouth-watering.....yum

Fantastic

Congrats on 1st, roon. Such a beautiful entry!

Congrats.... I want to eat it....

Nice Job Congrats

Super work I really like this, it looks delicious! The only thing I noticed that I think would make this much better, is if you changed the table it is on, only because it looks like it's made in a different painting style then the ice cream is. Also the reflection should be lighter, so that u can see both the checkered table and the glass.

nice work on ice cream

I think this is much better, and thus will get much more love from me at voting time = )

Really nice, the chocolate drip looks very real. Glass and reflection looks good, too.
I want some!!

Great work author!!!! Yummy for sure!

Nice looks good .A little shine on the light side of the cherry's would give it more life like feel.

the shine must have been lost when I saved it to jpg the first time. I think I fixed it now...

better g.l.

mmmmm this look so yummy...best of luck author

Nice..dont like the background colour.

ibmaxed - have a suggestion? I was thinking black, but I'm not sure

Yummy! Great drawing, GL!

beautiful

Congrats, James! The glass is wonderful!

Nice Job Congrats

author.. looking at your teacup/service platter design.. I think you should research MOORCROFT pottery.. you already got the feel for it and Ms. Bishop would be an inspiration to you (Not to mention if you learned about tubelining you'd probably have a blast with the idea.. when I sold the stuff I'd hold a vase in my hand for two hours, just marveling at the wonderful textures and feels (this piece reminds me of that)... Great job on this.. good luck!!!

wow, I feel so small looking at this great piece of art. The plates are my favorite = )

The service ware is very very well done , nice sharp and crisp, but the cake is a bit blurry in spots.very nice entry over all .

Thanks Glockman I tried to clean up the edges some (assuming that is what you were talking about )

Driven - that is some cool stuff, I'm going to play with those ideas some, it would be cool to see a dd drawing contest for vases soon

Thats why I stay away from contests that you computer skilled people like. But I am slowly getting better.

Glockman, I got my first copy of photoshop in January this year - only got it because I bought my laptop form a guy I worked with. you say skill, I say luck. I have been drawing with pen and ink since I was a kid, but I have no idea on painting or color theory - I just look and if what I draw looks right then I'm almost happy

Thank you for the comments though, some day I want to be really good at this

I made a mistake with the layer style. I did it the hard way the first time, then re-did it with layer styles the second - I added a step to the sbs that shows how I got the same results as layer style - using the magic wand tool, and a whole lot of patients...

Nice work, perspective is a bit out on the tray.

Yum, indeed! Looks like real

Whoa! This is jumping out of the picture onto my tastebuds. Nice work!

And congrats again. The swirls make me want to dip my finger in there and steal a taste.

Nice Job Congrats

love apple pie

Great entry, I like your style very much! GL!

very very nice delicious work...gl author

This is beautiful. I love the color combination with the blue plate and green tablecloth. Vanilla ice cream has just the right touch of color to not be too 'white'. The slightly darker edge is brilliant.

Thank you for your votes and comments!

omg.. looking at this is like eating 20 caramels and some one asks me to take a swig of evaporated milk..... OY VEY..

(oh.. very awesome image)

Funny I never thought about healthy yummy treats. Great work and original here so far =)

woow i see some butt here ???

haha, I didn't notice that....

yes yes nice
