Wow, nice chop! But please include all your sources used, unless you made the planets yourself, an SBS would help. GL!

yea made the planets myself... but i will make an SBS so there isnt any confusion

I think this is glorious, the depth is amazing, love it, good luck author

thank you both for the comments

Who are you? The E.T. with dreadlocks?
Amazing work, author!

hahahah rastaferian alien. thats awesome! nice chop, and concept. Thumbs up!

Thanks for all the nice comments

very cool idea. ya, mon.

excellent...... Love it.... good luck author.

Creative and cool idea. The hippie wardrobe on the alien is very odd, however. (Why not apply some effects -- e.g., filters or different blend modes with duplicate layers -- to the hat and scarf separately to see if you can come up with fashion more 'alien'?) And there is no drama as the tones are pretty even across the image. I think your SBS Step 2 is compelling but Step 3 is bland, flat wallpaper IMO which translates into a flat final image (which then isn't particularly understandable without the explanation of your title).

lots of fun texture play here.. good luck author

great work......... all the best to u author...........

thank you all for the comments!!

I commented on your SBS. It explains how you made them but if you wanted to, put a few more steps into the SBS and try to pass it off as a guide, they might just buy it. I was just impressed with how well you make your background and would not mind knowing specifics.

That was a compliment BTW

Added a New SBS that goes more in depth.. Hope it is useful.
Thanks jawshoewhah for the tip

Great idea great work Author nice sbs for sure and ty for the brushes link.

Fantastic work author...High marks from me and good luck

well done, top 3

I like the mood and the originality ! Good luck

I just saw your guide. Much better! You should try to submit it as a tut. there were a couple techniques you used I was not familiar with.

Definitely one of the most unique entries. GL!!!

congrats on 1st...

Congratulations!!!!!

nice one ,good luck

My only nitpick would be maybe trying to incorporate more of the shapes on the original source. As far as creativity it's very nice.

EDIT: Ah better, you can see the source pattern in the background. Perhaps maybe some more of a little bit different shade but that's just IMO.

BRAVO!!!!

wow - love it, very creative

Pretty. I like that it's not a mirror image although the repeating shapes at the same horizontal level give it a mirror-image-like feel in spots.

beautiful work ............... all the best to u author .............

fantastic and beautiful........

Cute neklace. . . . . I like it . . . . Gud luck author . . . . .

Looks like one of those wood puzzles - very cool

Great shape author...but add a bit shading and maybe some colors...now look a bit more flat...good luck

Thanks everyone for the comments/suggestions and Erathion its because I am trying to give it the 'made of wood' effect so not much color. And its a thin shape so looks flat.

Best of luck

nice job

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats for this beautiful work!

Congrats!

Congrats on 3rd!!!!

congrats

nice construction... congrats....

Congratulations!!!!!

Thank you everyone for liking my work and for the comments.

this is lovely. the only thing I would suggest is to burn the tan parts and the part of the flower that goes over the beveled edge to make it look like it also is beveled.

I agree with k4583. Stems and and leaves need more work...

i like the layout from sbs better

good work ...........

nice having it coming out of the frame.. good luck author

GL

Beautiful!

nice

congrats...

Congratulations!!!!!

Creative in a Rorschach-test kind of way. Instead of duplicating the bird, why not find a flower in the lower half of the source and make it a 'hummingbird finding nectar' plaque?

.................

wow, your cloning skills need some "brushing up" lol... looks good, but its really patchy! try masking in a new wooden texture, instead of this one.

agrees with bbdesign

congrats on 5th place...
