The syrup needs more realistic highlights, and some of the edges on the dragon could be cleaned up...otherwise this is great! (y0

Perfect! Really creative work.

Thanks to you both! CMYK46: I've tried to ammend the syrup, and i've cleaned up some of the edges - trust you to pick up on the syrup though LOL!

brilliant image I would love this in a frame

Very nice

very nice. I like the color choises.

That's one chubby Dragon.. love all the fun textures

I love the cartoony feel of it. Well done!

Great!

really cool the final result

Wow...good work

well done

Congratulations for 1st

Congrats!

Wow, congratulation on your first place. I finished my dragon almost the same time that you submitted this work (I intended to name it as Candy Dragon, then I had to change to Fire Dragon because of this one, lol)

congrats on win... well deserved mate

Congrats for yout first place, James!

Congrats! great work!

congrats =)

Congrats,very nice work!

WOW... the road is KILLER.. almost feels like you could lick it..hehehe...SUPER DUPER nick pic, you have so many wondrous textures that the text in the sign is a bit of a let down.. maybe make the word Entering out of the candy land font you used, rasterize it and make it white with a bevel emboss and drop shadow.. do the same with the Candy Land word (bevel,emboss,dropshadow so it matches all the magical textures you've captured... IMHO... ) Kudo's all around.. very fun image

EDIT... YEAH!!!!.. now the sign makes perfect sense.. GREAT JOB

you just ruined my Diet................. rofl.

Well done, You really brought the colours out well and made a very nica image. I agree that the sign looks a little tacked on but otherwise great!

Will work on the sign tomorrow. Thanks for the good suggestions.

I was thinking about doing something like this too. Oh, well. So much for that idea. Looks good. Good luck!

lol really nice i was going to do one like that but wasnt sure how to pull it off

Driven, you have pushed me into really working on techniques for embellishing text. I think it really did make a world of difference (after 3 hrs), and I thank you for the shove!!

Very good, GL

great result. Good luck

Great!

Congratulations on the end result, you little of the original photo but did a great job. This is a Matte Paiting original.

Congrats for your second place, Artgirl!

Congraaaaaaats!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the votes and nice comments all!

my house wouldn't be furnished for long then lol

Stunning. although, the picture on the wall looks too "3D"

my only nitpick would be that the highlights would be more to the middle of the sofa, but that is minor - I really like the textures. GL

beautiful realism

good work done
