lovely ......

Wonderful job wings are beautiful along with everything else

Flawless.

Totally awesome with great composition (Rule of Thirds) and enviable complexity in construction. The little dragon is the weak point IMO. I wish the coolness of its tail extended to its body which seems more cartoon than realistic. Also, the dragon appears to be lit from the left while she is lit from the right.

Thanks for the suggestion Dan. I tried to make the dragon less cartoonish; added some texture to the wings, sharpened the whole dragon a bit and added the same glow as the tail (plus lighting on Libellule's face to match the glow). I also messed with the shading a bit but as her hand is not in shadow below the dragon I did not darken that portion of him, that was my reasoning for his lighting, with the glow added it is not so crucial now (I think). Hope you like the changes. Thanks again

Beautiful job, love the wings!

Lovely image, but the dragon is almost invisible.

Thanks, CMYK ... dragon is now enhanced a bit more. I didn't want him too strong as he is not really the focal point of the image but your suggestion had merit. Almost took him out completely as he seems to be causing a lot of trouble (which I guess is natural as Firetails are known for being mischievous little creatures)

The image was designed to be 16X20 and at that size you can see him quite clearly . Thanks again for the feedback.

I think the dragon is now distinct not distracting but still adds foreground drama.

Thanks Dan!

Absolutely gorgeous work, author! Love all that you did to the model, especially her face.

congrats

truely beautiful entry.. congrats on 2nd

Congrats..... beautiful image....

love it!

not orange enough...

dun understand it ... this just made me smile and smile

need to improve the white mouth of the dog

Sweet and great SBS ... thanks for including one!!!

This came out pretty well, except for the dice. The colors have blurred and now over dominate the shape, so that the pips are hard to make out.

Perhaps make a selection of just the dice, and then "fade" the color depth effect of the section (Edit>Fade effect IMMEDIATELY after making the change), to better allow the dice to look more natural.

Great

Thanx MossyB I'll keep that in mind next time.

great fun art work... and lets face it you cant go past chocolate..

oOoOh too cute

I give you credit author for being able to find a use for the most obscure parts of a source!!

cute....add some textures to eyes and mouth (inside) -- perhaps "add noise"
as it will add to the completeness

i especially love the texture for the creatures you've used... looks so natural (organic) in hi-rez.

Ahah nice one! The choco one looks perv! I bet lime is a female in this work

Love the two of them....it seems they have been pals for a long time..... good luck!

on second look, reminds me of "Sesame Street" 's Bert and Ernie .... hehe..... nice

What a handsome couple ... great work!

I don't think they're couple, they're like father and son. In the future, they will look like Po and his goose father in Kungfu Panda LOL
