Congrats ! So amazing !!

I missed the contest, but saw this on the front page. Beautiful work! So much patience, so much detail. This is going into my favs. Congratulations on placing first!

This is beautifully done, nice use of the source. My only minor suggestion would be making the plate a little bit smaller so we could see a little bit of bear tummy. THat and it would be nice to see the front bear smiling now that he is all full of love :P

A really nice job though, well done.

edit: nice (and really quick) change. Thanks for taking on the feedback!

nice job

Very creative use of the source well done, I really like the depth of field you have created.

This is so sweet and well done. I love their hearts filling up with love and the smile on the completed bear.

Truly spectacular and lovely image ... would be wonderful framed and in a babies room! Excellent and creative work ... and you have to love the hearts!

I like what youve done here, made your own stargate . Nice one.

Really nice use of source! Good luck!

A really fun image, I like it , perhaps you could work on the shadows of yourself and the stargate, look at the shadow of the table you are sitting at for direction and length, good luck

Thanks for the comments, and good observation Madamemonty - I've made some changes, looks better to me, shadows can be tricky! Feedback is appreciated.
Edit: Learned something new and tweaked this again.

Love the attention you have paid to the detail ... like the picture of Amelia on the wall and the goggles are perfect. Great work!

Yes indeed arca is right about the attention to detail, the shadow on the wall of yourself is a nice touch. Very nice!

Very creative

great humor and perfect execution...well done author

Congrats for your third place, Pearlie!

congrats

Thanks for your votes and support, this was a fun chop, I really got into it!

Congrats Pearlie, I saw you share the same interest with the mechanics things as me . That's the great job with many details, you should spend long time for searching the sources and put them well together.

Congrats!! Nicely done!

congrats for the 3rd place....

Congrats...great entry...

congrats!!!

Well done. Once I was trying to help this praying mantis that was sitting on the side of the street. I got a stick so it could climb on it, and as soon as I put the stick in front of it, it opened up it's wings, stood back on his hind legs, with front legs ready in attack mode, and hissed at me louder then a snake. Holy cow, I jumped back so fast, and my heart almost jumped out of my chest. I didn't know that they could do that. Then I was laughing my head off thinking how funny that must have looked. I decided he can take care of him self, lol. =)
Great robomantis!!!

very handsome (and Emik's story is hysterical)

nice job

Thank you for the comments... and Emik, what a funny story you say

Looks like a cross between a Praying Mantis and a firefly! Umm... I guess that is why you called it Robomantis (silly me)!

Great story Emik! I would love to see one in person ... but not sure if I want it to hiss at me!

Ummm can I just say wow, cuz WOW! Very nice job and very creative, and I love the coloring. You are very talented

Thanks, I don't usually leave comments that long, but had to share as your awesome robomantis totally reminded me of that day = )

nice work done

very very nice work author...good luck

Thank you

super, good luck!

Really nicely done! I see a face there, maybe some glowing eyes to go with it? Up to you, good luck!

Good creation! He looks like he is challenging the moon! Very Don Quixote-ish!

Cool hydraulic legs there! Nice work, author. Yes, agree with Arca!

Clever title

cool thing author...good luck
