trip the light fantastic

What's the source for the background leaves?

In step 1 of the SBS, I've got the source labeled "fern". I used the pen tool within the lines to make copies of leaves of various shapes. Probably should have labeled it "leaves", but a fern-like plant was what I had in mind. Dang. I forgot to label the foreground leaves. I took those from the source labeled "branch".

fantastic work, author!
the one thing that I wonder is that with all that's curved, it seems odd that the lizard's wings are straight. IMHO, they would look more like the other critters if they were warped a little. high marks, tho, love it.

Amazing work! It's incredible what the human creativity is able to do with an image, PS and some ideas... Cool!

Beautiful image!! Good Luck =)

really nice, good luck

very nice .............

Very nice work author

Nice! the left leaf is to bright on the bottom, it should blend with the same shading as the big stam, so a lot darker

I like it.

Amazing work author...best of luck

Stunning.

Nice image.

Great work author.

The making of this character is great as usual and your style is easily recognizable. I just suggest one thing: you can do something different and better than that . Don't take it offensive, my friend, breaking the habit is the good way to improve, I think .

@Langstrum, thanks for that... will keep that in mind....

I feel that the reflections are not quite right perspective wise and need to be alittle more faded - but that's just me! No offense meant.

good stuff! maybe tweak the reflection a little bit

excellent !

nice

the vase is STUNNING

Have removed the bracelet. It just wasn't laying at right angle. If possible, I will redo it.

Nice job overall, but the reflection of the vase doesn't match the pattern, and it needs a shadow. Everything else would have a reflection as well. Try to make all shadows consistent with light source.

Very pretty. The black outlines on the petals make the flowers seem like an illustration while the jewelry looks real. The vase reflection is off; it should be a simple vertical flip of the vase warped to make the flip's top edge follow the vase's curved bottom edge (so the purple point along bottom edge matches up, for example -- see your SBS Step 6). It's odd that the vase reflects while the jewelry merely casts shadows -- and down for the pearls but up for the gold chain at that. [Adding reflections for the jewelry would be tricky. Put some jewelry on a mirror to create a model to work from.]

Wow... amazing work, author! I love everything, specially the vase... No, the pendant with earrings... no... no!... It's everything! And dot!
Just one little thing: if there's a reflection for vase, jewels need a bit of reflection too...

Beauty! I prefer the jewels

OK folks. I cut out the reflection. Excuses, excuses, but just got brand new trifocals and am having a really hard time adjusting. Everything looks out of focus. Really appreciate your comments.

Hey author, "My God" this is a wonderful work! Lots of layers, and the colors are outstanding. The vase is one of a kind. The jewels, are beautiful and look real. The only thing I see (Not wrong) but your shadows need to be darker. This is what I think. Do that, and your work deserve to be placed on the wall of your living room.....! High thumbs up!

Great work author...good luck

as usual a beautiful work from u................all the best .......

congrats for the gr8 work...

mmm, this looks like the turtle beach in Zante!

Pretty cool, but fix the weird square part left under between the rock and house. Also the rock edges there are a bit too sharp, maybe a bit softer with structure? Good luck!

Its a wonderful idea,good luck

Thanks for the keen eye wazowski! something went wrong there.

Very nice idea, and well executed.. great result. Well done!

Way better Good luck!

really nice view

nice and different thinking.... Gl

Very nice work author

Good job, author!

It's a different way to look the image. Very nice!

very fun image

a different entry .........all the best to u .........

very good thinking .. Good luck

nice idea

You may want to throw some of the line pattern from the source into the base of the picture.. or just make a gravel pattern using the red bricks... you know how picky so many of the regs are at not seeing the source clearly.. GREAT GREAT GREAT JOB!!!!! (only if you want or have time... hehehe... awesome work as always)

Train is pretty well constructed, but the front (cow catcher) is flat...it should be V shaped. Also, the wheels don't look like they're on the tracks.

Very cool!
