Looks good in Low-res, it's the most realistic image in this competition. I just 2 suggestions for you: (1) when you make the water splash, you can refer to the real one in the source that you used. The splash on the sea is blurred, not as clear as the one you made. From that distance, we almost can't see that splashes. (2) the composition: actually lower halve of the image has nothing to do, there is no information there. If the tail of the monster is seen on the bottom left of the image and you crop more tightly (the right side), your composition will be better.
Good luck, author!

Looks good, and has an awesome BG source/mood. That tail is a bit strange, but you ran out of time, so it's understandable.

excellent work author............ definately my favourite in this contest I love the colours throughout the pic, its blended really well.

Definitely a winner! Composition and mood are both perfect

Congratulations! Great entry

that fisherman looks extremely relaxed considering his predicament, good job author

Edit,...the monster has grown a tail and she is playing in the water....hehehe....

sea monster is very well done as is the blending of the various elements

Hey , nice bit of art here the water is very well done, the face is a bit contorted,the white marks should be moved to the left a bit and lower the mouth on the right side just a tad also. just my opinion . but I like this a lot. good work author.

This is adorable. Very good job Author

I like it a lot!!! Funny and well done!

great , Love it

I don't get it (good score).. just don't get it

I just made a description for fun it started like an Aztec submerged site hauted by a monster who's the reincarnation of an ancient leader - and from there it evolved.

nice nice

unless you were thinking Montezuma's Revenge? that would make a whole lot more sense

I don't know, I was never good at making titles. But of course I can change it if anyone gives me an original suggestion . Montezuma's Revenge sounds good, but it's taken.

(montezuma's revenge is Diarrhea author.. ) oh lord.. why do I try

LOL, that too! Thanks for stopping by !
Edit: changed name to Diverhunter so it won't be associated with the crappy video game

love the colors the lighting and the overall construction of the monster, good luck !!

Thanks nanaris & andi. It feels good to know, that there are people who get and like my entry and that my efforts are appreciated

You've done a good job on this. I think it might look a little better if your creature were more the tone of the water like those divers are. Just my 2 cents...nice work.

Thanks for the comment, i'll give it a try, but i especially made the creature white so it stands out more, like a big shark.
Made a slight blend adjusment, you can see the before in the SBS. I can't guarantee you ll notice a difference since it might also dependsof your screen.

great work author!

I really like what you've done author! Good work!

This entry was dedicated to Drivenslush for helping me get through my laziness. I managed to instal Ps3 and create this entry using multiple psd files so that my laptop could handle the memory. It was fun, thanks again Drivenslush.
