high res please!!!! I really want to see this up close... go to MY STUFF and MY CONTESTS and re upload a HIGH RES image (it will get you higher votes as well

Looks like there are some shadows missing - high res would be good.

Well, I'm just 14 and I'm kinda new to this =P

Hi author! Not bad for 14. I just wanted to give you advice... don't take to heart comments people will leave. Alot of people are excellent artists and they give lots of opinions and suggestions and it might feel like your being picked on. . And some people are far more picky and blunt then others. Take anything people say as creative critism. And if you agree with their comments try changing your picture and reupload it. If not... just enjoy your work and learn from others work .

Haha thanks for the advice, Hopefully my future entries will be better. =]

Funny idea . Masking is not bad, maybe on top of the car could be a bit more smooth. I'm not sure how you made the selection, but in case you use a mouse you can use the pentool to create a path and turn that into a sweet mask. Elephant itself needs some shading. Make a new layer above the elephant layer, make it a clipping mask, fill it with a gradient black 100% on top to 0% down and put the blending on overlay. And then see if you like the effect or not...otherwise play a bit with the blending modes. Idea is that the elephant gets some shading on top of his back, so it looks more he's in the car. If you give the poster in the background a little bit blur, it will fit better with the rest.
Good luck!

very cute and funny

That elephant is mad small... also ice is definitely right. I'm 17 and kind of in the same boat as you; for example, I don't understand 75% of the things wazowski told you in his comment.

Very cute! The elephant is too dark. Try to make it lighter. GL

Well lets just say that the elephant is umm.....A child? xD

nice idea, like it! Some shadows under the elephant would help, but I like this nonetheless

way to go! I think you did great, especially for a 14 years old

Nice work!

Lol i like it! maybe make the paddle and boat darker

I like the burnt building and fire very much...the foreground subject doesn't belong...it's too bright and clean. This image would be SO MUCH better without it...no offense to your son...in my opinion.

Hey, no offense taken. I agree it doesnt belong, (neither does a teenager rowing a elephant down a lake in real life), but its just a fanatsy picutre... I would like to think they have real boats to escape with in real life, hehe

cool pic! i think he would be a little fatter though

Woah! Looks GREAT!

lot of work in here... and it looks great! I would personally change the eye - now it is to distorted, but overall a great entry!

Interesting........good luck.

great idea!! very good

please post a step by step guide.. i'd really like to see how this was made!

An sbs would be GREAT.. nice image.. g'luck

Funny, and a good blend!

Now this is a good image... I like this a lot/ Great job!

hahaha looks awesome great work, just theres something with the trees above the elephant that looks odd..

simple and superb result

pretty.

XD came back to fav the entry, i just love elephants XD

this one made me laugh out loud! So good one!

this image is nearly flawless and i think that this is one of the best in the contest

Quite funny . I'd remove the wire in front though (because right now both ends dont fit well. I'd say better remove than show that they dont fit). Good luck!

good job at cutting him/her. trees look fine--the sun is shining on them. wires look fine too.

To the left of his tail and to the right of his feet, the wires are disjointed... Not that noticible in small size( unless the viewer is hawkeyes), but is more prominent in high res... Fix that small glitch and this image will shine more... This is rather a small flaw, but it ought to be fixed... Apart from that cool image

Hahahaha! now thats definitely a frdak show!!

Very cute! And good blending!

great stuff!
