Source links are not working. Very neat scene, good luck.

Yeah..my bad..fixed..thanks Akassa!

moody mood mood mood.. lovely

Nice composition, but I'd tone down the bright light on her left side, since you've emphasized the moon beams coming at her from the back. Or move the moon over to the left, so the illumination is more consistent.

Nice Congrats

Very funny!

by the looks on them faces i guess jupiter let some air out hahaha nice

hahahahahaha...great funny composition...title fits perfectly with the image...GL

my original title would have gotten me ejected LOL

lol

Very funny composition, good luck!

Wow, awesome!!

Nice work

LOL - nice job AND nice job!
turn around and say that......

Well done image indeed, but very minimal use of the source. You basically could have used any image of a rock for this.

thanks CMYK, all steps has been added now, nearly 65% of the sourceimage has been used, for clarification and further info please see my sbs.

Sorry, I'm only seeing minimal use of the source (some rocks) . The rocks could have come from anywhere.

It's nice, but more suited to the drawing section than Photoshop, to my eyes. Your "subject" is not the source image, and the majority of your image is painted, not photoshopped. Had you used source images for the lion and the person, it would be a chopped image. This is more a painting with a wee bit of the source image added as accent...

Mixed manipulations would even be a better category for this type of work.

great work author, dont worry about comments from people with only 1/2 your skill

WOWZA...YOU ARE THE SMUDGE TOOL MASTER!!!!! Hours and hours of great work, wonderful SBS.. good luck author.. (it's kinda funny you used that one itsy bitsy hair brush ) really made me smile!!!

thanks alot insanewayneOO, sometimes i feel discouraged by some people's comments but u gave me my confidence back

wow!!!! nice to see u author!!

great effort with great result, good luck!

Skill level has little to do with the ability to see...
You needn't "worry" about ANY comments, it's whether you can learn to see and improve from other opinions that is the purpose of comments...

It's only the petty minded (and "insane" that feel they have to insult others for voicing their opinions...

Beautiful illustration work, author! You have the light clearly in front of the human figure but it seems the lion's head is a bit too bright. If you were able to darken the lion's face and front it would solidify the lighting a bit more. Really nice work!

Lovely concept and drawing. A little low on the original source but your work and expressiveness adds so much it is hard to fault you for that. Lovely work about a difficult and troubling situation. I hope you are safe throughout this hard time and hugs!

Nice work....minimal use of source, great illustrative work...agree with MossyB

Thanks a lot guys for you comments and for giving my entry some of your time and concern, special thank to my old buddy pixelkid for his comment.

well pixelkid, the face of the lion is brighter for some reason, you may noticed that the back of the guardian and the side of the lion are being lightened by the secondary source light which is the sky in that situation, the body of the guardian is dropping a heavy shadow on the lion's back legs because he is standing right above them and totally covering them, then i made the shadow fading away in it's way to the head of the lion, because the shadow of guardian's body is not extended except to forelegs of the lion, that's the why you see it's face lighter, hope i'm not wrong

wonderful drawing skills.., great.., I agree with you that some comments may have discouraged you.., But we can't blame the other members for pointing out that you have used minimal source. I am trying to say that, with this kind of skills you should have used the rock textures for making the lion or the costume the guardian. ''just a suggestion, may be for your future works.., I think i am not hurting you, my friend.., good luck

Congratulations amazing work

CONGRATS!!!

congratulations...

Congrats Author Loved the SBS by the way

Congrats!!

congratulations...

thank you guys for congrats

Moon wouldn't be in front of the clouds.

You're right I've decreased the opacity down a little bit and also masked out some of the moon.. Hope this improves it. And thanks for the suggestion CMYK46 it's appreciated

Love the concept here!

I know it is a little late (Christmas just takes too much time away from Pxleyes) but I do find that the rain is a little overpowering.

Also, when considering composition it is a good idea to check out some info on what is called the rule-of-thirds or the Golden Section (slightly different theories but same principles) ... here are some links with info on both - Golden Section http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyLjT8sodlw and Rule-of-Thirds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiYHT-JvoqI). If you have any more questions feel free to PM me
