I could see adding a background.. when something is hand drawn it's pretty much done as soon as you submit it.. to add shading or textures or shadow is to alter the piece into something else, It's a fun drawing.. and it's not childish is CHILD LIKE..good luck author

EDIT: It is a compliment, a Photograph can be altered but you can still see the original image, a Hand Drawn image becomes something totally different when you change the pencil marks.. just an observation.. (Like if you gave the Daffy duck a different Nose bill, it would immediately change the illustration, but if you give a photo a new nose, you can still see the original picture, one comes from the mind.. the other comes from real life.. old art theory project I had in college about Comic vs Real Life imagery)

EDIT: WHAT A BACKGROUND.. you weren't fooling around making that one.. woke me right up.. excellent add on to an already excellent piece

I didn't quite get you... Not that childish or child like, but "when something hand drawn...... into something else, It's a fun drawing.."

This is pretty cute

Answer to the title....'yes'. Good job, author!!

I bet you had a lot of fun making this.. I would look at suitable 'fun' background also - but dont go over the top - you dont want it stealing the focus of the image. The only thing I can see that may make it better [or worse] you seem to have some parts that look 3 dimesnional and then there are others that just look flat.. eg the body looks to have depth but the neck is flat. Not a lot you can probably do about it - just an observation.. Fun stuff

yes, you are scary

Good . Instead of black background and glow you can try a nice suitable background for this.

Thanks Aura ... When I uploaded the image, I was pretty tired and I wasted like more than an hour uploading the sbs( since my net connection was giving me so much trouble)... So I was really "so to say" confused and fatigued ... And at animmax and GK, yes I did thought the background was not suitable... Will try to change the background and also will try giving depth if I have time...

cool idea

goood job author. very funy

cool, nice work

Doesn't look like a flat wall, it looks like steps, and there would be snow on them...
Suggestion: to make the wall look flat give it all the same color as in your source pic.

Maybe find a nice grime or grunge texture and overlay it to your wall also??

very good use of source

good work

love the perspective.. and the visual bounce back really keeps you locked in.. good work

Thanks for the comments. I have made some adjustments.

Good work, nice job here the front kinda looks like steps but I like what you've done good luck

Snow looks bit flat gl

good idea

OHHHH!! i get it !! like it

funny characters

Very interesting, I like the man at the front most, the pink one is good, the green guy looks weird .

please don't take this in a wrong way, everything is bevel and emboss with you, you can achieve depth effects using other tools which will give a greater impact to your work. I'm saying this because you have great ideas and you can improve. Please take it as an advice.

pthree I never take most things the wrong way unless I misread them.. you are not being snarky or mean so I have no problem with it (Just learned how to use the bevel emboss about 2 months ago, so of course I'd go nuts using it .. gold star for you (though to say EVERYTHING I do is bevel emboss is a tad much, I actually do use some of my creativity.. a little)

it wasn't meant like that "EVERYTHING". I commented because you have potential, it's ok to experiment, I didn't knew you were just starting with bevel and emboss, I too thought at first bevel and emboss is a great tool.

it's all cool pthree.. high Five

for such a simple idea it really came out well, you really can't see if anything was done at all and that is very skillfull.. under high res I see lots of cuts.. but they could be the actual jewelry textures.. LOL.. very good job.. fun to look at

You're supposed to USE the source pic, not just slap stuff on top of it...

True - this is lazy in a way, but at least it's my own image..even my own necklace - I didn't go to Deviant for it..Hee Hee! ANd I have used the source in a couple of other entries, about to post one here.

cool

nice image very realistic work.....But CMYK46 is right....

This IS using the source. It may be a 'simple' use, but overall it is a really nice composition. The different textures and colors are what make this interesting. It's visually very pleasing. I personally like when I can see a thought process when looking at an entry. You know the saying..."If it fits...wear it." Nice job, author.

nice one, but don't use source image only as a background

nice

looks nice

American Gothic ... hehehe.. you need to add a pitchfork .. very nice .. and different..you SBS is very nice as well .. good luck

Very creative use of the stock image! Nice!

good attempt

cool

interesting, good luck

Lol looks like targets in the shoot range)) GL!
