Good work. I suggest to make the ground between him and the castles more blurred, I still can see the discontinuous area right under the castle. Good luck author

Based only on the 2d elements...... nice job.

Jaskier, congrats!!!

Congratulations!

Thanks for Your comments and votes.

Looks like something from The Golden Compass. Great detailed work!

very nice work...gl

Fabulous work author,final result is simply amazing,i love it...IMHO u could made some edges a bit softer,mandibular part for example...tail is master piece for it self,background too...very well done author,i love this creation of your...

Very cool!!! I would expect the back side of a crystal fish to be somewhat visible, however. And while this is purely a personal artistic choice, I think green seaweed (rather than more crystal) would provide more variety and contrast while focusing more attention on the fish.

Good job! Maybe add some fins?

very nice work with keeping the translucent look -- good job building the fish as well

nicely done, great work.

Now deal with it before it consumes you.. giggle snort

Thanks to erathion, DanLundberg, CMYK46 and lchappell for great suggestions. I have made changes.
Also thanks to others for your nice comments.

Very cool. I wish I had the patience to do that! Good luck.

wow! Awesome fish = )

nice work

Beautiful! It reminds me of those sea creatures that live in the deep; they are like this, translucid and sometimes, colorful.

Absolutely stunning sweetheART brilliant work ;D

Beautiful work..,

Very well done, congrats on your win!

One of your best . The anatomy of this creature is just awesome! I suggest to do a bit more lighting, especially the side highlight, and darken the center part of the creature (which should be in the shadow area), so it will look more 3D. Also the shadow on the ground is not really accurate, but it's difficult to explain, it should be distorted more and straighten along with the light direction. This image is very potential, good luck my friend

fantastic entry, & I agree with langstrum .... slightly darker shadowing on the body near the back leg will make it pop out nicely....very well done author!

a great entry.am envy by ur creation...it really nice..

I do like how you take the source and create stunning new images. Not sure if the creature is a touch too sharp for the background? The blood is blurred but in the same focal plane? I would also tweak the shadows that are not touching the feet close enough. Still very very well done! Keep up the good work.

amazing! great colours!

W.O.W. That's all I can say. I agree with Langstrum...the anatomy here is awesome! Amazing work!

Wonderful work author . Some lighting and contrast work will boost your character

Great job, but there are a lot of parts with jagged edges and/ or white edges that need blending and smoothing. Also, one of the tube things on the creature's back is in front of it's face, and they don't look convincingly attached to the body.

I am very happy that it's you my friend., it's a brilliant and clever stuff.., hat's off for you..,

very cool work!

Thanks a lot for the nice comments and great suggestions guys,i made some changes,damn slight changes take me 3 hours........Again thanks for very very and helpful advices...

Simply fantastic! It seems it can walk on 4 and 2 legs as well. The anatomy is perfect (according to our imagination). and the crystal... the glow of the crystal is very realistic, it looks like a real gem for me. Amazing work, I'm sure it's top 3! GL!...

Great job......... wish u high marks ........

well done !! great work .. good luck

excellent perspective, amazing floor work, high marks to you.........

AWSOME ENTRY......!!!! WELL DONE AUTHOR....!!!

I'm probably missing it, but where does the source image come into play? Great job, btw. =]

Source image is used for some body parts of the creature and for the crystal...all is in SBS...

Oh my goodness, lol. I'm so sorry. I read the guide, it was amazing. You have such a beautiful talent. =]

Nice

Very nice! The floor is a good construction (minot thing; it's little pixelated). The shadows on the ground are all 100% vertical, but for example on the left paw the light comes from the right top, so the shadow should be pointing towards the left bottom, not straight down. Overall the creature is a very nice construction!

I want the crystal so I must get into battle

nice

(from the movie ALIENS)

Bishop: Not bad for a human.

Hudson: Let's just bug out and call it even, OK? What are we talking about this for?
Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Hudson: F#ckin' A...
Burke: Ho-ho-hold on, hold on one second. This installation has a substantial dollar value attached to it.
Ripley: They can *bill* me.

Ripley: [referring and looking into the empty doll head] Look, no bad dreams there.
Newt: Ripley, she doesn't have bad dreams because she's just a piece of plastic.

hehehehe

Congrats! for 2nd

Neb, didn't I say this work would be in top 3? Congratulations!
