Very impressive, I wouldn't like to meet this critter

Nice evolution, but the light reflection doesn't work with the sunlight shining from behind the creature... Better to ditch that back entrance, and make an opening above and to the right, so that the lighting is consistent.

Very cool and well crafted work! To be honest I perceive the light as coming from above, right and just in front of the creature, not behind it. So it looks correct to me.

Light spreads, this works for me. Great concept and painting, author!

Light looks fantastic to me..., but I really don't care about the light, I think the manipulation and overall result is just fantastic! Great Job author

Thanks everyone! and I do see what you mean Mossy, but I had the light just coming from the top right. Having the bright white corner just sorta threw of my composition so I put that rock in front of it. The beams of light were coming in front of him for a while, but I just didn't like what that did to the shadows. Also for all we know there is another hole up above to the right that we just cant see! perhaps if I have time I'll do some tweaking thought

Great, great work!!! Impressive!

Why thanks you!!!!

Yeeeees, the Evolution could play very eccentric tricks

Congratulations!!! Great work!!

thanks

thanks

Congrats!!

Super duper congrats!!!

Congrats

congrats for 1st. Really great work.

SUPER DUPER THANKS EVERYONE!!!

Funny image, but I'd really get rid of the different clouds background. It's too recognizable as standard clouds render and imo wont support your own creations. Good luck!

EDIT: background looks better this way, imo

CUTE!

Will see what I can do with the background, Wazowski. Appreciate your advice!

How Cute!!!

ooh... another cutey! ... only suggestion, make the wings less sharp and a better blending to the bodies

super cool funny image author...great usage of the source image...best of luck

Funny & original

Awesome!

Adorable - love this concept! Love your colors for the 2nd background.

The early bird catches the first wasp, he-he-he

Yuk! I don't think I'll be early then!! lol

Thanks for the kind comments everyone.

Congrats!!

The bottom part looks like a science fiction movie or a Discovery channel program about burrowing wasps. Nice effect.

The top part doesn't really blend well, the colors are too cool in tone for the warmer wasp images, and the swirly, smudgy bird tail looks out of place and distracts from the overall "monster" mood.

Interesting image, puzzling title.

this image will work, provided the style of both the top and bottom is the same

like fantasy world

Unique, love it

Congrats!!

thanks spaceranger

very pretty and refined.. GOOD LUCK AUTHOR

it's almost perfect.... but it looks "incomplete" to me.
the legs look out-of-place, suggest you make it into something like cobra, eel

I know who did this even before I vote.....and I didn't mean it in a good way

Amazing structure of this creepy thing, especially the head

Awesome, dude!

But the other legs is on the surface of water...

Mirror the wing on the other side.. it would make it look like he's gliding and going COW A BUNGA!!! hehehe (just IMHO) .. when you have time.. polish the debris in the high res... can't really see it in low res, but it kind of slaps you in the face in Hi Res..

GREAT JOB OVER ALL.. awesome!!!

haha, very funny. Nice work

flip the entire wasp in the direction of the surf-board

Thanks for your comments and suggestions. I made some changes and cleaned up. It's still not perfect but I still have time.

Aheman- Thanks for the flip
Drivenslush- My wingman

ooh... much better

Yippee.. I got my Wings!!! err..My WING! hehehe.. very good author and thanks for taking my suggestion

Cooool
