More on theme that I have seen but it looks more statuesque, rather than an armored animal.

Idea is nice, but as jaws says, I'd use real animals to take away the statue effect. Also, things would be more clear without the very dark sides (at least here on my screen). Now I know that's also in the background image you used, but right now the lion kinda fades away in the darkness, while he's supposed to be the subject. Good luck!

Thanks for the comments guys ... ok i made the dark areas more clear and now is more light ... i hope i ll have the chance to change the horse as well.. i ll be traveling for couple of days and i dont know if i can fix it before the contest finish... again thanks for the sujestions

nice work....

Good Luck!

nice idea

thank you

A kendo fighter! Excellent blending of images!

When you say Tiger I assume you mean Leopard?

He's not really armored ya know? He's just locked up. It's a cool image but not sure about exact theme match though but that's just IMO.

Thanks guys...loool i just say the Tiger is actully a leopard..thanks locksmagic.... and jawshoewhah did you see the sources images...its even writen that is "kendo armor" but yeah you r right..it looks like he is locked up

here comes the champion....!!!!

Good combination and very well constructed. Nice job!! Best of luck to you!

not bad

Good effort....

no shadows, and can't see the pipe through the glass, nice though

nice work

Good Job. GL

a baby avatar? lol

SBS would be good...

Very cute idea! I'd reccomend doing a bit more touchups around the boy as he still has a bit of a white outline. Unless that's on purpose...? Gj anyway, and gl.

I think I tried to make it look like his skin glows...but it does look like he needs a touch up here and there practice practice practise

niceeee....will look good with dark purple hair

I agree with Nator, type doesn't work and detracts from the image. BTW on behalf of the great apes of the world, a gorilla is NOT a monkey.

nice, but did you use the photocopy filter or something like it on Kong ? I don't think he needed it, it gives him a newspaper cutout look. Nice masking around the railings mind

Really nice idea. The text and the filter on the gorilla spoil it a little.
