Good, I really like the smoke!

kakarot, I'm sure that's a brush, quite abundant out there. However, author, you did a good job on the fire as the theme of this contest

Nice done!

I suppose you have to post the link of the smoke...

Im curious on how you did the picture. Do you think you could add it to the sbs????

for the picture, just draw a grey rectangle, and draw a face using, dodge, burn, and smudge, I add a white frame... I use polygonal lasso tool to "tear" the picture.. add some shadows, and highlights... Quite simple...

excellent!

Great use of tools!

Congrats!!!!

beautiful work !

This is nice! The candle and flame are well done, but the candle holder could have a bit more blending. the difference between the lights and the darks are a bit too much. The candle wick is kind of on it's own as well. Over all nicely done though.

I like the melting on the candle! Good job!

Not to bad, perspective is a bit off on the candle holder, candle and flame looks nice. gl

Ken, you are quite right about the perspective, I just couldn't get it quite right.

Author try this,Raise the dark line of the upper base ring leaving only a small bit of the blue and show more blue on the bottom 2 thirds of the same ring, hope it helps.

Thanks Ken, Hope this is better.

Much better !!
