very nice,.....poor little fishes....especially the one inside the boot

hahaha i love this!

very nice work...gl

Cute and creative! At least the fish inside the boot has a place to hide itself, who cares the smell?

Congrats on the first place!

congrats for the 1st

Congrats for your first place, Gino!

I really loved this work!!!!
Congratulations!

Hehe, very nice idea! My suggestion would be to reduce the saturation of the yellows and reds on the boots, the colour cast clashes with that of the background image. Good luck!

Pretty clever.. I know the boots aren't meant to fit, but they're still a bit TOO large for my taste. A bit more work with the colours and stuff and it'll be very good.

Haha good idea

I changed the color of the boots. I hope it is better now. I would like to hear your opinion. Also I have added some shadows over the belt and the sword (may be more visible in high res). Anyway, I like the size of the boots and decided not to change it for now. Thanks for your comments and suggestions.

How about increasing a bit the contrast of the cat's image? I think its colors are a little "rinsed out", comparing to the boots and hat. But it's a very cute entry.

ahahahah very cool

Thanks for the suggestion erikuri. I have changed the contrast a bit and I think it really is better now.

fantastic author, can i have him

Much better now. I still disagree about the boots, but I won't punish you for having your artistic freedom with that. The fur looks better with higher contrast and the shadows too. You could give a very slight burn tool or something for the belt edges and if you could make the sword blade just a bit more sharp and clean looking, it would help too. Good job with the improvements..

so cool...

Very cute and great use of the source!

Thank you all! Still a bit nervous about trying different things.. the support is very encouraging

Really beautiful... It doesn't seem parts of a whip!

lovely.... high votes from me author...

the branches look a little cartoonish right now. you could try overlaying a tree texture on the branches to make it look more realistic. though, the mood is nice

this is really wonderful nicely done author

I love the look and feel of this image. It is so dreamy. Definitely a work of art.
