Great idea! A bit more highlight on the skin where the wire is attached would match the rest of the skin highlights. GL.

thanks CMYK i added a bit of a highlight looks much better

Very nice work, really good concept!

Excellent work.....Just that the bottom part of the machine looks a bit bright then the rest of the part above, if you see in high res. Over all the concept is really good.
Good Luck

Wow, this is really creative and really smooth. I really like it! I suggest where the black wire goes over the shiny metal connecter piece should have a reflection in the metal. Just like the pink wire does at the bottom. But that is just a small detail. The overall image is absolutely fantastic

thanks for the suggestions guys

Great entry almost reminds me of the borg head in star trek

Sweeet!!!!

Great work! You've made her look wonderfully "manufactured," rather than real. Good job with the skin.

great idea..

Stunning and really well done!

The attachment on her head is simply perfect!

Fantastic work author...very very well done...

Very well done, congrats!

Very well done, congrats!

Congrats a stunning image

congrats!

thanks everyone for the comments and votes

Congrats.....

Congratulations on an exceptional image!

WOW! I really don't know what to say! Other than how awesome this is!!! Ok there's a lot more but we are only allotted like 6000 words!

Hmmm...sure wouldn't be clean & bloodless like this...no teeth showing either...but allowing for artistic license, IMO the skin should be color matched to the face. Good execution!

The face looks like Wax. Very nice though!!!

@ MnMCarta: Thankyou :P

@ CMYK46: My idea behind it was that it's more a mask... therefore no need for any other features on the body head purely for the fact the other features are on the part being removed... I did colourise the 'mask' to more a skin tone afer your comment, which I agree looks a little better...

@ taintedhockey: I'm glad it looks like 'wax' as it's meant to look like it's melting... thankyou

well done!

Oh my...

Superb!!!

Looks great now, author...good luck!

fantastic work, very creative

It looks like a character in the old Corman film that starred Vincent Price. I love it!

great entry !

Original, thought provoking and EXTREMELY well made.

Way to show off your talent..

Very well crafted and an excellent concept!

it is very good work

Lovely! Something out of the movie Eyes without a Face.

nice work

Excellent work and beautifully executed! High points for sure!

Good title for this, great play on words. Very nice work, author. And yes, I remember the movie FaceOff!

very nice work author...gl

Congrats - great image.

I totally LOVE the look of this and the bright colors. Absolutely, beautiful!

WB...better than most. SBS would be even better.
Oops, just looked at sources...2 premasked images? Oh please... .

i love this...

Very nice work.

Great Job.

CMYK, pre-masked stock from CG Textures is allowed. I once got a mod message telling me that ALL stock we find on CGTextures IS allowed. This entry is very well made author. Very good job on the colors. GL !

@ Lamantine. Yeah it's allowed, altough it's a bit lazy :P
Hah well I like the Image though !
GL

Nice image. Creative. Well done

for the trust ,it is amzing work

Great entry! Welcome back!

The "plates" on the side of the face look too contrived, her nose looks really big, and her neck looks too squished up with her chin disappearing.

Love the color work and the top of the head, but the overall effect tries too hard.

Oh I love it! This is great , nice and beautiful, nicee nice entry...

thanks a lot for you kind feedback. in deed, the premasked images are for lazy people, but believ it or not I really needed those two images 'cause I think they fit well in the overall image. Thanks a lot again

Well I didn't ment bad when I said it was a bit lazy
Just for the record I think this is one of the best entries till now in this contest!
(I must admit this is really my style)
GL

You haven't been bad at all. your feedback is useful and true :P thanks a lot that you like my image and i'm glad that we share the same artistic views. have a great inspirational day

Intensely original and well done image! You have created a thing of beauty! Bravo!

Congrats on third place!

Inventive and original, good luck

Very original and very creative. The color is very catchy as well. The only problem is that the galaxy in the background is kind of distorted. Perhaps you can get a different picture maybe? But in all very good. I like it alot.

Nice idea, good blending on the fish hues!

Thanks much for the comments guys. cmyk, I'm used to more critique than that from you. I'm happy you like what I did.
And taintedhockey...I didn't think the galaxy behind was of that much consequence to the overall of the piece, but maybe I will see if I can straighten things out a bit.

Very cool! Love that it isn't the cliche alien colors. Oh wow, until I read your description it didn't even hit me that she wasn't bald to begin with. Great job!

very colorful! GL!

Lovely work and I really enjoyed the story ... I, for one, would be happy to read the novel! Definitely one of my favourites!

Yep, we usually see aliens in grey, green, pale blue... your alien is unique and quite sexy!

Thank you arca...that is quite a compliment coming from you I appreciate it.
And erikuri I like to stray from "normal" ...thank you so much for your compliments!

Love your ALF story, and the use of the brightly colored fish is very inventive! Cool transformation work.

wow...those eyes are amazinggggg...well done

Well done with finding the right angle for the statue to match with the face. Simple but nice result. Good luck!

Edit: maybe you could remove a tiny bit of red from her face (or desaturate the red via hue/saturation), so it would match the statue skin color even better, but it's up to you if you'd like the result.

I love the image, and I know the background is from the museum source pic...I was just wondering if a different background might make me even more excited about this entry.

Nice chop. I agree with waz and cmyk, matching the face colour to the rest of the image would be great, but also a different background would give it a new dimension. Good Luck!

Not sure if I agree about the background, I think it's quite a fun image with the background its got... it's like Night at the Museum.... One thing I would say that lets it down for me though is you've kept the grain in the museum pic and not added that where you've used the source pic... either adding or taking it away as much as possible (it's achieveable) will help to blend the two images better and make it more convincing...

Just beautiful.

One of the best IMO! Great work ... lovely blending and well thought out image! High points from me!

I can image the scene: you are walking in the museum, looking at the sculptures, and suddenly the Nefertiti's statue say a word to you...

Great job author...i had similar idea but u made it perfectly...well done
