The neck area looks kind of wonky - The really dark shape beneath the head makes it look like the head is floating, and it doesn't look at all like a shadow...Nice job on the background!

Very good

The general mood, the colors and theme is nice, it's some details which could make the entry more finished. That's imo mostly the hair, that looks a bit too roughly drawn compared to the more clean rest of the images. Pay a bit longer attention to it, perhaps you can add a blending layer (with mode multiply) to make the dark parts a bit darker so the hair looks somewhat more smooth. Or just use a tinier brush to get thát detail which make the image more like a whole. Same story would be for the strings. Perhaps here and there the edges from the suit can be a bit softer too. But for the rest I'd think that Tim Burton would like this .
@Mossy: not sure, but maybe the dark shape you mention is not necessarely a shadow but some kind of necklace?
Author, good luck!

Other than maybe make the right side of the head the same shape of the left (since she's staring strait out) it looks like her head is deformed but other than that, this is still one of the best entries I've seen. Fix that and I think you just might have a winner. GL!

I tried to fix the most critical parts, really thanks for you guys for making me know.

with few little adjustments this could be a fantastic image(mostly the hair)..but having said that, i really like it..the mood is great..goes to my fav's..good luck!

I really like this image! I couldn't really tell what was on the right side of her untill about the 5th look. Also not sure why you added an sbs with just one background image?

like the concept very much..., good luck author

love this, good luck!!!

Gruesome little thing isn't she. Has a very doll-like quality to her which makes it more impressive considering the scissors and the clothsline! Love the concept!

congrats on a well deserved 1st place

Congrats for the first place !

Congrats, this is really creepy

congrats very nice work.

congratulations...

Congrats!!

congratulations...

Congratulations darling, you deserve it!

Nice reconstruction of the forehead, but in high res the neck is badly blended into the body, and you need to continue the strong highlight on the shoulder where the head was. This could be great with a few tweaks...GL author!

Thanks for your advice CMYK46, i try to change that...

hope it's better now.

Looks much better to me, author!
(If I could be permitted one more small nitpick, maybe blurring the sharp edges you've created would fit better with the rest of the original image, but I love your concept and choice of source material...good luck!).

GREAT JOB!!!!!

wow!

whahaha Amazing job.. This guy needs a very small pillow and a very big bed.. Great source and great execution! GL author!

Thanks to all for your comments !

GOSH! impressive!!!

no good blending! neck is way too bright!

Shiza you're wrong. Why so negative?

Dont worry author, Shiza is annoyed for being caught cheating in another contest...... its very nice work..I cant fault it

Nice chop....Confusing light on this image. To justify the wonderful contrast on this image is to lose the light source (spot light, camera?) in the right hand corner. Get rid of it. That corner should be the darkest part of the image. Looks great otherwise.

The light in the upper RH corner does not match the highlights on the skin, I'd suggest losing it, and I would tone down the neck lighting to match the rest of the body, but overall a nice job!

Top work author...this one will be in top 3 i am sure...listen to me i am pxl prophet...just joking...

My fave, great creation, and love the B&W here = )

Yikes, this would make a great image for a steroid ad! Well done, and the B/W works well for this.

Congrats!!

congratulations...

hahaha nice job!

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the work is great the idea is so much greater... GOOD LUCK

OMG - good one! That's a loooong swallow!

LOL! VERY creative, good job!

Now that was creative! GL!

You have a knack for this kind of retouching, author! Nice job!!

Very very cool idea and nice work...gl author

It would be really cool to see two of these birds necking ... quite a twist on the usually

Congrats!!

congratulations...

That human sure does look a lot like a cat.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!!! (I love ginger cats.. they are so sweet!!!) and I want one for Xmax.... X 10) great job author, awesome job on the fuzzy edges, that can sometimes take hours

Hey jaws ...contest does say human or animal and I think it is an animal I wish it was a real animal ... I want one too. When your little kitty has a litter let me know! I want one... are big headed kitties smarter than regular head sized kitties?

Fantastic work author...i know that she is big headed cat bit on the same time she is damn cute...i would like to have one cat just like this for my self...well done man

in reality, if this was a REAL cat it would fall on it's head ... A LOT

(hours of entertainment on America's Funniest Videos LOL)

YIPPEEEEE!!! what fun !!! (Though I would like to see some of that hair draping down the back of her right side, it looks like it just stops right there (Unless her hairdresser sucks, then never mind) great job author.. very awesome and on theme

loooooooooooooooooooooool very nice

be carefull author there is on the left side a little problem, you forgot to ersase

Right now this is good but has the potential to be great. Right now it looks like you upsized the head which is the main focus part of the image. The problem is that the face is now pixelized and the body is not. I would've tried to downsize the body not upsize the head. Also some more smudging and blurring with the hair could do wonders. I would suggest blurring the body just a smidgen to match the head now. Good luck author.
