Nice work, author. I might have expected a bit larger shading from the helmet on the face, but that's a minor point. Good luck!

Congrats Daniela!!

Congrats for the nice composition!

nice choice of images and well blended

I agree with Alan, it's just that the bird is too obvious looking back over the shoulder. With other words, the hird's body is 180 rotated compared to the warrior image. What might work is to remove the feathers and put the head straight on the body (with some more tweaking..). Good luck!

Good overall tonality, a nice clean chop!

I like the stark realism look of this,.. very cool!

Author, I agree with both you and Wazowski. You because yes what you're saying is possible, but Wazowski because despite that it still doesn't look quite right, and also because I agree that deleting at least some feathers would help the illusion.

You could perhaps have subtly perspective-transformed both bird and warrior in opposite directions to match up a bit better...anything that fools the eye helps!

Congratulations.....nice work!

Congrats Bob!!

Congrats for the nice composition!

If the light source is at the top of the staff, the shadow would be behind him.

V. Nice work!!!

Great warrior

Well done, but I kinda miss a good pair of impressive claws for the mama bird. Good luck!
