i like how you made the lace transparent so the legs can show through

Congrats again Lucie very well done

Congrats again, really fun job!

Congrats once again, well done!!

congratz

i knew this was the winner congrats

Thank you, everyone.

very good..idea and work. bravo

Really good concept...IMO would be even better in muted color, but still sweet.

Thanks for the comment's I changed it to where it had a little more color, I liked both the black and white and the muted color idea too just couldn't decide but the muted color seems to give a more vintage feel . Thanks cmyk

fantastic pics ! I can see the winner

Nice blend. However, this character is simply way too gigantic for the scene. There is not enough distance - implied or actual - between her and the closest car in the background, or balance between the size of "yellow lines" in the street compared to her shoe next to them, to justify the degree of disproportion. I'm not suggesting she should be humanly proportionate, just not so gigantic for the surroundings. A very easy fix would be to re-size the background larger.

That may be taste, but this is technical: the shadows are cast in the wrong direction for the light pattern on the legs - all you have to do is look at the real shadows in the original to see that the light on the legs is coming from the front, not the back, as your added shadows imply. To fix this, you can darken the front of the legs and brighten the back of the legs. Or you can try flipping that background.

Ugh! The dreaded "flatten layers" Oh well. You're welcome.

Congrats, it was close!

Congrats!!

Congratulations!

Thanks guys

IMO the remote is too small compared to he scale of the couch, and the spider doesn't seem to have a shadow corresponding to the light source.

I knew it -- the damn thing has legs and walks away by itself (LOL) -- great idea

very creative, good idea, bravo

Congrats once again!!

nice idea -- the shadow makes the foot look a bit floating maybe bring it in closer to the foot -- should give the impression the foo is closer to the edge of the building. Also a bit of cleanup or blur on the edges of the legs and feet

Yes, shadows. Using a regular Photoshop drop shadow effect is a good place to start, but does not work well to cast realistic shadows on different level surfaces. :\

The shadow under the left foot would "fall off" the edge of the wall and bend downward and curve a little to conform to the shape of the surface. That particular shadow would be darker and "sharper" at the foot and be a little blurrier or softer toward the toe because of the distance from the source/foot.

For the right foot, see how the original jug's shadow starts underneath the jug itself before stretching left. The right foot, too, needs a very close/narrow shadow under the boot itself, then stretch left, like the jug's shadow. Be careful not to make the shadow too "tall" or too far under the bottom of the boot or it will look like it's floating.

Hope this helps.
