Dats a lotta fun

It's a lovely piece of work but I don't think you are allowed to use the background flower because it is an illustration.

Beautiful

Great chop, great source finds

@Drivenslush, @JadeSKyfall and @Robvdn, thanks for your comments.

Congratulations. Very nice work.

Bravo Sandrine. Composition amusante et très bien réalisée.

Congrats for first place on a very very magic picture !

Thank you very much for your comments. It’s nice to be back after a few very busy months.
😄

Congratulations.....

Great idea, but the blending needs to be more subtle!
Edit: On second look (And author, good entries always merit a second look) maybe the eyes could be a touch more red or green to separate them from the background. GL>

CMYK46 thanks for the comment this was my first attempt at a blending like this. I will play with it and see if i am able to improve on the blend.

PS: The title alone is a definite plus...good luck, author...waiting to see the revision.

Haha I tryed to do something like this and failed miserably >.< So congrats! xD

Thanks Becca i tried and failed at first too was actually trying to create a similar effect for one of the other competitions got so frustated with it i gave up. Keep plugging away i guess the motto is.

good job im liking her eyes. i dont get the title india is in asia right

Bompy i believe ur right it is but as i said was drawing a blank on the title thats the best i could think of. If i have any enlightening moments i will update it.

the writing in the background makes me think of an old spell wrote down like some kind of ancient magic is happening

Good blend !
India it's already in Asia, but i guess you meant like India meets Japan or "my mom & the tiger" (lol).

To put more of India in this picture you could make the Kanji's fade into Hindi writing.

here's a source, if you care:

Good luck!

Good job, look quite convincing. Maybe you should change the shadow below his head a bit, because it's not round like that. GL

Thank you langstrum, I agree. I'll try to fix it within the next couple of hours.

Maybe just liquify the tip of his nose downward a tiny bit. Good concept to turn him around!

Good idea too, pearlie. Thanks! Will work on it.

Fixed! How is it now?

Hmm, quite better but not desired to me. The shadow should be more or less like that around his neck --> \/. About his nose, it's still not realistic, you can use the bloat tool in liquify to make the center of his nose tip (whatever, I don't know how to call) to be rounder. Just find an photo and observed the real nose than you can figure it out

Great feedback--much appreciated. I think I have an idea what to do now. Thanks again.

Pretty good, nobody thought of turning forward the man!

Okay here goes...attempt number 3. Altered the shadow again and fixed the nose (hopefully). How is it now? The bloat tool didn't work as desired so I blended it with another asian man's nose.

Good idea, but do something to alter the symmetry on the face, so it doesn't look like you just flopped it...otherwise it's a good image.

Thanks, CMYK. What would you suggest? Adding some assymetrical details to the features? I already did a bit of work on the hair so that it doesn't look too mirrored but I'm not sure what else to do. :/ This is my first try at attempting something like this.

Author, just play around...remove some shadows, etc...it shouldn't be hard to alter the symmetry.

Okay I get what your saying now. I fixed it up a bit. Any better now? Again, thanks alot for the feedback.

Yes, that's much better...good luck!

Thanks!
