(LOOK AT HIGH RES PEEPS.. and see that the bunny is holding the umbrella very clearly)... hehehe..this would be a wonderful world peace symbol LOL

Wonderful entry...Good Luck..

Nice composition. Sweet. Not sure if those puddles are working here. This looks more like a beautiful illustration and I thought the contest rules were to make it look as realistic as possible. Like a capture.

EDIT: Looks great.

way to cute

Very nice work -- the idea, blending and final results are all top notch

nice work!

pixelkid, those puddles weren't really working for me either, but I wasn't sure what to do about them. So I went back and played with the opacity and brightness and I think they look better now. Thank you!

Be patient LOOPYLUV, the entry has just been uploaded 10 minutes ago

very cute

very sweet !!

Lovely work! Yuo draw really good, sweet characters :P

HeHe......excellent work.........

excellent work here author.. high scores..

Though I truly love the image and respect the work you've done on this...Contest guidelines: "Make your image as realistic and believable as possible!" This really doesn't fall into this guideline. Great job though!

wow, that was very nice of you guys, thank you so much for your nice comments and favoriting, Pixelkid, i'm glad you loved my work, and actually i believe that my work fits goal of the contest perfectly if you have seen the previous version of this contest on late PST you would know that winning entry was made by the member Philthy had a style and technique similar to mine

great job i like the sand you made ... GOOD LUCK

GREAT!! very cute!! one of my fav

this image ROCKS OUT

lol...love this!! I was wondering, perhaps we should be able to see a little of the water line at the other side of the bowl....? .)

This one is nice, but I agree with Mayechung there is no waterline. And the bowl could use a little bit more work, some shine and the edges....but great job.

thenks guys for your nice comments, thanks alot for Sander and Mayechung on their suggestions, here i added some lights reflection on the bowl for you, as for the other water line on the other side, it would ruins the perspective, try it urself, bring a cup of water, close up you head, and look at it right in the middle

Edit: LOL@Mayechung: i did not say put your face in the cup just make your face as close as if you were looking at my bowl

My eyes crossed!!! lol..lol...)

cute image. well done! but i wonder what will happen if the fish ever getting hungry great job! great SBS

SUPER DUPER HIGH MARKS.. just beautiful.. and soooooooooooooo Sweet!!!!!.. the shadow work is AWESOME

This is sooo cute! The seal looks so blissful, holding this little penguin... Have I already mentioned, how cute it is?

ohhhhh how cute they are

Very nice image do have a little suggestion tho the seals flipper is very blurry on the edge you may want to sharpen this a bit ( same as the edge on the penguins body)

Oh My God, I love it! That is just absolutely adorable! I felt like squealing when I saw it! Nevermind I'm sitting at work around other people. LOL. Good luck!

So cute, very nice work author . Listen to RickLaMesa .

It's an AWESOME image, but it feels like the fin should be a little bigger. I'm not saying you shoul change it because i saw how much work you put in it on the step by step guide, it's just my point of view. Good luck!!!

too cute

love is in the water

Thanks to all for your useful comments! Thanks Warlock and RickLaMesa! I've taken your advice. Looks better!

nice! i like it!

very nice!!

Nice !

awwwwwwww

good entry

amazing friendship!

I don't know why, but i really like this one. It makes me smile!

how so cute, good job author

Edit: i'm afraid this entry is off theme author, sorry to say that, its cute but contest goal says:Select 2 or more different animals that are naturally enemies , i never heard that seals and penguins are enemies

cute

relly, seal is too sweet to eat!

Orientallad: It's sad that you have to try and 'strike back' a comment to this entry just because I stated the truth about yours. Here's something to educate yourself with...scroll to bottom of this link. http://www.antarcticconnection.com/antarctic/wildlife/penguins/index.shtml Please stop being so immature. There's no room for that here.

thanks for the teaching link, i said my opinion on your entry because of your unnecessary second comment on my entry which i'm wondering why have you removed it?!!!

Congrats!!!

Congratulations for 3rd

Aaaaah... I still love it! Congrats!

Congrats!

Congrats.

Congratulations!!!!

ROFL ROFL ROFL that's all I can say lol... I don't care about the blending and stuff, but this is really funny... Like GolemAura use to say, "Where's the humor bar?"... Lol nice job

ROFL great work author very funny

Very funny idea well done -- great work on the mane and fur -- (Hind quarters of the zebra ollk a bit odd)

Excellent choice of animals and well done...but you have different light sources. Zebra is lit from behind and the Lion from behind. Also, if the lion has that bright of a highlight, you might want to have the ground reflect that too. Just some suggestions. It's really funny.

alan2641.. i'm sorry i didn't understand what's odd.. pixelkid, i thought about the light sources and i think i could get away with it if it was midday (noon?). i've lightened the lions head before so that would fit better, but i should work on the zeebra's head and back i guess.. but later, gotta go now! thanks for the comments everyone!!

very nice! I like it! I might be mistaken, but shouldn't the lion be bigger? anyways, I love the idea! and funny too

cool thats pretty good

Excellent lol, really good work, loving the humor

awwwwww very sweet and on theme

lol....Great job

hehehehheeh

Great piece of work!

ROFLMAO! That is just so great!

andrej2249, i though it would be, but i've googled it before i uploaded it just to be on the safe side and i've come across this http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FdxcVL126Qo/Rgh_pmrrrPI/AAAAAAAAAEM/YxS7rhYatXE/s320/LionZebra.jpg so i guess (if not) a zebra can be bigger

i like this zebra looking so fat. but the light is wrong in this picture. Its on the back of the two animals, comes from left front at the zebra and from right behind in the lion, but outside of a studio this coulndt be. there must have been more light at their both bellys if you wanted to do this that way. the ground should have the same lightening as the animals.

thank you for the comments. i've changed the lighting on the animals. the light on the lion's back is toned down a little, and i lightened the zebra's head to match the lion's, and fixed the rest of it's body. i think it's a lot better now. and anatole, why the bellies? doesn't it seem more logical that if the sun hits them directly above them, their bellies would be in the shade?

too funny...nice work

awesome execution, looks real

this is so funny

What a scene!! good

very sweet! the fat zebra looks very funny

thank you all! i was going for the "fat" zebra, while the lion would look very undernourished because this one is not much of a hunter

excellent

ha ha ha, really cool! good job!

lol

the cutting out looks a little choppy but good blending with the numerous pics

it reminds me Eeyore and Tigger from Winnie the Pooh

Congratulations!!!!

congrats

great congrats

Just MAG KNEE FEEK.. . and all around marvelous... You really capture the comic mood with a bunchload of believability.. just awesome HIGH MARKS!!!

Rofl It's just great... Love the expression on the shark...

very nice mood

This is great! Right on theme too!! Small suggestion that might really help...the shark has a stark lit underside, but the dolphin doesn't. Choose which is better to run with and make them both similar. This will help the believability. Good luck!

great job!!!!!!! i really like the image

Very nice job as well as very funny -- great expressions

lol I like the way you think.

good, .....lighting ........I am not sure.....

LOL

Right on wonderful

enemy is escaping in top right corner!

Congratulations!!!!
