Okay, it looks good, and even though you're allowed to reacreate it from scratch, it just feels like the point of a source is defeated. I like it though.. good luck.

Ponty, actually this entry is a test. Discover this new rule few days ago and I want to know what are mods and PXL members reactions. Is something new and can be revolutionnary for the site.Just curious to see what will be the opinions.

Edit...if the mod will not remove it on the next half of hour

You used the source as a template, but you didn't manipulate the source image itself...

Well i like this and also your concept of taking the source image as ref and creating a whole new bike... Also a little off topic, is lightwave same as 3ds max??? Just curious cause I wanna learn Lightwave just for fun lol...

Edit: Just a suggestion, if you had made it in gold and silver type... You could have used some texture off the source... And hence you wouldn't be accused of not manipulating the source at all... I just want this entry to stay... It's cool...

you worked hard and did a good job. Even though I don't like that something can be re-created because it takes away from "manipulation", you are right in what you have done according to the updated rules.

CMYK, agree, use the source as template. Is not what the new rule proclaim ? Maybe the english is too subtle for me. LOL, not maybe, for sure. Arkncheeze, sorry, know nothing about Lightwave. But if you ask on forum about you will receive for sure an answer. Is easy for me to use some maps from the original source. But this is not my purpose. I want to discover what are the exact limits of the new rule.

OK, let me be more clear: There is NOTHING of the source image in your render. It's distorted and crude compared to the source, and you didn't use any part of the source pic in your final image.

i aggree with ponti. The rules sais its alowed so theres nothing to argue over really here... o.o; I cant say i aggree with it tho...

Author.. all you had to do is throw the finished image into photo shop and place a head light or the seat on the bike... just tweak it a bit, it will save you a ton of head aches (and the work is very well done) but I understand both sides of the arguement.. but it's good to discuss and figure out how to approach these wonderful new ways of manipulating art.. (melting the source into the background could work as well.. just an Idea )

real awesome!

the feel is really quite beautiful.. good luck.

cool idea. I can just picture myself taking a nap on a couch in that room. good job!

wow looks realy homy and realistic good job author!

Author, you dont respect an important rule of PXL.”DON'T ask someone for dinner in someones entry. Keep this private!” Sorry, just kidding. I think this is a masterpiece of Photoshop. Congratulations.

i love the warmth in this image! great work! the reflection is pretty cool too

did i hear food? nice entry author. a great use of colour and source.

Fantastic job and the sbs is great too!

Nice mood, I like the colors. But please please recheck the reflection from the merry go round. Right now the reflection continues under the table, which is not possible. Also, compare the reflection to the one from the other objects. The further away, the more blurry (well, a bit) it becomes. Would be nice of you could make it like that for the merry go round too. Good luck!

Beautiful. Don't change a thing!

awesome mood, wonderful composition

cool effect!

Awesome feel to it..

How beautiful! If there is still a place on the couch left, I'd like to have one. It feels really like just waking up on a sunny afternoon in autumn. The mood is just great Good luck!

wooow really really nice!

I think we have a winner

Wow! Really magical!

cool and interesting!

Very nicely done, but what is that dark bun-like shape near the horizon left of the flower? That's kinda distracting. If you remove that it will help greatly...imo.

wow.....its soooo beautiful....My eyes popped out.....

very nice chop Gl...

Beautiful....

Lovely fantasy world. I like the way yuo sued the source

very nice

Nice composition.

Very nice work

I love the butterfly! Good luck

looks pretty good. but i don't think that's enough to win the contest

gl...

Put some more effort into your SBS (More descriptions and add more steps ) and this would make a great tutorial on isolating and changing color.. who knows.. you could make some GREEN with your GOLD .. .. good work

You just need to select the clipping mask and paint with the colour you want

what elficho say! good luck!

just colors

simple

good luck

Good Luck

OH my... LOL.. toooooo funny.. might want to darken the white coins a tad.. just for visual sake..the skull in the crotch is Priceless LOLOLOL

coins r too big.......same for sword.....

good luck

Nice idea good luck!

she has it all

lmao. just need to play with your sizes a bit more. good idea though haha

She is a petite lady, therefore the scale of of doubloons and sword seem large
