If I was to sum it up, I would have to say this piece is "TOP SHELF" very impressive.

I love those brushes! Are they plain chalk with hue& scatter settings or did you made them ?
Also like the color pallete of the BG, and hair is not bad!
Minor persp. & anatomy issues, but a really nice entry overall.

Fantastic drawing and painting and nice usage of the provided image...best of luck author

fabulous!

Fantastic, GL!

I agree with mircea about the depth. The shield could use a lil more texture, maby a scratch or something, but it´s a great image and work

Very hot lady warrior... this is crazy genius... Best of luck!

Congrats!!

hey congrats

you have to post your original uncut source of the girl.

I doing it right now.

I in the process of adding the steps. Unless theres another way it publishes the photo and then I add the seps. I'm new to this so I may be wrong.

no, you did fine. i must have jumped the gun on my comment, sorry for that. lovely chop...Thats YOU author?
awesome costume if it is. and beautiful dog.

Thanks! Yeah its mostly costume. However, my dog is naturally ghostlike.

Your work gets me thinking......had a thougt of what it might look like with the bkg in color.The angel would really be the focus .It would give me the feeling of it's more REAL. as if you really captured in pixles a real experience. The costume is very believable good job on that. Wonder if the halo look over the wing would 't look better over her head. I 'm not saying to change a thing. My mind just seems to daydream and wonders at times. I was just sharing.......GL

Great Job author, very Creative and beautiful entry!

Thanks for the nice comments. I like your ideas JB. You certainly have a creative eye that notices the little things. I'll have to play around with your ideas and see how they come out. I appreciate your insight.

Nice work author, good luck!

Thanks, some days I really need the luck.

I used my own photos too! Nice touch! GL!

great work author...very well done

love this!!

Looks good, but the nose should stand out more.

To nishagandhi: Thanks a lot
To CMYK46: Thanks and indeed it bothered me too... Work on it straight away!

*Edited version uploaded* Now the nose stands out more and the whole images has more contrast. (I used burn tool and dodge tool on a lot areas)

very cool work...gl

thanks !

Great idea! And fantastic photoshop to make the idea become alive! GL

I'm glad you didn't know. This is very well done!

Well done. The only nitpick I see is the veil, since it looks a bit too plastic, at least for my tastes.

wow...what a great work...love the effects...well done author
