WONDERFUL!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

(PSST! DRAW the background items.. I think some of your sources aren't allowed (illustrations and premanipulations).. don't think will it effect the finished image at all .. Great job)

hey thanks for the heads up, what source in particular are you talking about? I'll certainly fix them, I don't want this to be taken down! I put far to many hours of work into this for it not to compete

SORRY EVERYONE! I seem to have used some illustrations in my background that I will need to replace. So if my entry disappears for a while don't be sad, it will most certainly be back!!!
Thanks

Any thing premanipulated can't be used.. you'll get it, and the Mods should be able to help you as well.. GOOD LUCK!!!

yeah they took it down once, but I didn't realize they had done it. Thought I just clicked the "publish later" button when I uploaded so i put it back up on accident. So I'm waiting for them to take it back down for me. I'll have time to make new background elements tomorrow

Don't worry, You'll get the hang of it LOL.. Great work!

Fantasic job, especially on her face! Love the background, too, and I'm sure you'll get that worked out.

Thanks! everything is all worked out now. Other than a couple textures I created all the background elements right in photoshop, so I no longer have to worry about my sources apparently I need to freshen up on my rules every couple of months!!

HEHEHEHE!!! NOW It's PERFECT Great Save author!

The textures are still artwork created by others...You can only use "natural" texture images.

In the mod's message they sent when they took it down they only said to change my other sources, so apparently these ones are ok to use.

hahaha you were right Mossy! Shortly after I commented back, they took it down, AGAIN! heheh now this image is 100% created in photoshop by me with no use of any sources other than my own picture for a reference, so I think I should be safe now

It's a stronger image now. Great SBS, excellent Pen Tool work. Best of success!

beautiful image author...best of luck

A wonderful gift for your sister, very well done! Everyone has problems with sources at one time or another but you dealt with the situation with good humor and a positive attitude. I agree with MossyB the end result is most excellent!

Thanks a lot! I have always been a glass half full type of person

fantastic work gl author..!!

I know now why I was bemused by this image.. BRENDA STARR (make sure you use STARR not STAR.. LOL) old comic that I LOVED... .. very awesome finish author.. such a wonderful image

Hahah oh wow! Totally!! You would have thought I was inspired by her, but I sadly have never heard of that comic till now. Very cool

Congratulations!

Congrats !

Congrats again Robert, this is really beautiful

congrats...

That looks fantastic author!

The cloud render is a bit too high contrast, it detracts from the cool "paper textures," but a nice effort!

nice work gl author..!!

great work author

Very fun image, love the ai and ps combination of effects.

Many thanks to all for the comments and favs

Congrats

congrats...

Beautiful effect, but the text is too hard to read and distracting from the image.

nice work gl author..!!

this is fantastic author..love it

Very nice work, author. The type following the same curve as your penwork is a very retro element, and the floral elements and grunge effects, especially the dot pattern, brings me back to the 'old days' of printing.

Many thanks to all for the support

Congrats !

congrats...

cool..author best of luck

Funny, author, I thought this would be the tutorial that you would choose!
The shadow beneath her leg is a bit too large, and the shadow on her right shoulder contradicts the light reflection on the hood of the mustang, but the color tones are spot on. Nice work!

I don't see her shadow...if you look at the shadow under the bumper the light source is obvious. (From upper left). In the source pic the model is lit from upper right.

Better.

Great job, author! Especially love the cut-out shape and type work, and the background textures. Good find on the model, fits the car perfectly.

Fun concept. Howeer: Her shadow does not connect her to the car; she looks pasted on top of it. "Mustang" could be lower (too close to the top edge) and it and "Sally" could be brighter to stand out more.

very retreee O O O.... (GOOD LUCK!)
