I prefer it to the other one. It's clearer and less confusing. Nice work!

Now it's not anonymous! I'd personally like to see a version with texture between this and the first one. I think the mods may ask you to choose one over the other, but that's up to them...good luck.

A rerun uh

Nice job to show the 'limbo' stage of death.

More lightning needed, but good luck!

what is the brown color in the floor? is it a shadow or blood

Interesting composition and use of color.

I'm a bit confused.. shouldn't the angel be 3d.. I mean I went through your SBS and it was very detailed, but the angel viewing the picture is flat and distorted.. or was that the idea.. also, the head is missing the top pieces.. I appreciate the amount of work in this, I'm just confused as to how I'm suppose to see 3D.. or it could be me.. my eyes aren't the greatest.. good luck on this.. (can you blur the edges in 3d.. that could be the reason)

EDIT: Thank you Author.. always good to learn something new

GolemAura, agree, final result is not at all spectacular, could be made in 10 min Photoshop.The principal purpose of this entry was to clarify some basics about 3d work,SBS is maybe more important than the entry.About giving volume by modelling with polygons or spline cage is another complex chapter in 3d max and could not be covered in a single SBS. Sorry if that disturb the quality of this contest. And yes, can blur on 3d ,see steps 17 & 18

neat

SBS is all Greek (Or geek?) to me...but I don't think much of the final image, however it was created.

for this design, 3DS Max is required?

just looks like you put image in a frame... along the lines of an OOB image almost. But nothing really looks different to me compared to the original picture... might just be me sorry.

very nice entry. Original

this is a very wonderful concept...and I'm only saying this because my friend is a hairdressor ... the hair starts and stops in its pattern.. NOT A BAD THING or anything that needs a great fix.. but hair that abuptly stops and then continues is a bit of a visual kerfuffle.. (all hair in the minds eye should continue from the scalp) but this is a fantasy piece so it really doesn't matter, thought I'd mention it because I know HE would LOL (It something he told me about recognizing women with extensions, he's a real nitpicker)

Cool idea and well done i like it good luck!

Lovely creation..........G/L Author.

very nice

I really like this one! But I think the hair looks a bit odd because it fades at the edges. Try making it more solid. You can even try making some locks stick out a bit. Everything else is great!

beautiful

I do like it but don't love it, you are very skilled at photoshop but for this particular entry, I can't see musch effort put in to, the 4 sources used all have blurred edges, hands are in strange shape and there isn't much creativity in the use of the source. But overall, the image has a good mood and good luck.

very noticeable

Really lovely image, well done author, it's all awesome!

i like it

Beautiful....

Nice work. I personally would love to see more of a reflection cast in the water.

great

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats! Very well done.

congrats!

congrats!!

Congrats on 2nd!

Congrats!

finishing is good. instead of bluish color you can try a different hairstyle or something.

Very NICE Blue mood.. I only suggest removing some of the Blue from the back ground and lips just to make it more subtle..when you blue the WHOLE picture.. it kinda makes it too obvious... a subtle DE-Bluing of the background and lips (Not a lot on the lips... you don't want her to look like a lipstick commericial) will make it less obious that you blue toned the whole scene.. but thats just my opinion.. good LUCK

EDIT: Ugh.. family in town and I'm up to my neck in drama (sorry, forgot to say your MODEL IS DROP DEAD GORGEOUS to the bazillionth power.. a face like that is a treasure.. ) just thought FYI

very nice result; like the blue tint

very nice. good job author.

nice colors

cool

I think she is a bit too blue in the retouch

Pretty looks a bit like Whitney Houston

v good work the blue give the pic a dreamy look looks perfect idea by me

nice
