Some areas seem a bit over stretched, but all in all it's a fantastic image! Very creative and wonderfully made. Great job in capturing the festive atmosphere.

Thanks for your comment, Ponti. I spent a lot of time researching Chinese parade dragons even before I started this project. . I really think this is pretty close to how most of them look. I can't use all the references in my SBS, there were so many, and also not on sites where I would free to show them in my SBS. All in all, this version is my own version of all those I found.

Simply fantastic!

Nice and unique work, love the colors too

nice

very pretty image author.. good luck!!!

Very realistic your blending is terrific and the idea is exceptional. welcome to pxleyes

Creepy! I'd try to tone down the white highlights a bit.

Overall this has some really nice blending, only nitpick would be the bellybutton. At first I thought it was a tattoo, which would mean the highlights might be to bright. After reading your title, the highlights really do work. Good luck!

Try to make the navel appear. It's a nice creation, author!

my only criticism is that the stock images central line doesn't seem to be where you have placed the source image... the overall look is good but it just feels lop sided somehow to me... good luck anyway...

jamesD thank you for your comments.I was just oping if you could be more specific with the comments.I did not understand itId want this t look better

Great idea. I agree with james. The image appears a little flat on the pot, maybe you could warp it a little to make it look like it's kinda going around the pot. Good luck!

oh no..i cant redo this..i have merged all the layers

the only thing is that i see the pot design below the face, too much opacity, or mask the underlying layer, it doesnt look to realistic...

unique nails, but imo the shadow on the nail is too sharp. Maybe blur it bit

Thanks for the comment!

very nice good idea

Very good!!! Looks convincing!
