Very sweet idea! Great blending and shadowing.

Cute, good idea

i agree its a sweet idea and all so made pretty good, but i think the shadowing needs a little bit more work
the veg slices still looks floating
beside the soft low opacity shadow that there is now, there should be a darker more thin hard shadow line just beneath the slices

good luck

looks very real author, great job!

cosmetic masks already? cucumbers do better, i see it on my wife

Congrats for 3rd

Congrats!!

Congrats!

awwww someones not a happy camper! But this picture is awesome!

Good match on the lighting...maybe just slightly blur the edges on the hands, and GL.

excellent lighting.

Very innovative idea... love this!

thanks,
i will try to blur it a little bit

Very funny and well done Best of luck

Fantastic piece author...extra points from me for unique idea...gl

Great idea! Giant's offspring could be dangerous when playing

I love the idea of playing around with a tilt shift!

Great job! She definitely gives off a "frozen" vibe.

Interesting, but the icicles are made to different scales, and the ones beneath the eyes would curve to the proportions of the face.

Could you make some parts of her hair looking frozen by placing highlight here and there?

my original thoughts on this contest was ice man from the marvel comics...however, i can't seem to find any tutorial that even comes close to doing what i want to do with my entries.
i have been reworking this piece a bit, and will upload the edited version as soon as i have it done..likely tomorrow morning, as i'm at work and can't do much with it here.

WOW!!! This for sure is going to the fav box!

thanks MnMCarta

I did update the image...added a few things.
any other suggestions or critiques will definitely be taken in to account, as i'm still not quite sure its exactly what i was wanting. :P

awesome job!

You said you want her to be like Iceman ? Like this : http://xmendiaries.ibelgique.com/encyclopedie/characters/images/iceman03.jpg ?

Don't ! She's too hot for that ). I would insist on her hair. Check this: http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/149283-bigthumbnail.jpg See the contrast between the highlights & darkshines ? You could experiment with that, but it's already an awesome entry. Stacey will be proud

great job......

Cool effects, the eyes look so sad

Thanks so much everyone!

I agree with all the comment that imply you should have put more ice effect into her.

Now I'm surprised to see it's you. But I think you know which one i really like

Still an impressive shot! GL!

Nice work author...gl

Super impressive,, very realistic and definitely one of the best in the contest. Lovely

Congrats on 3rd!

Congrats Jade...

Congrats!!
