Perfection

- nice idea- animal looks a liitle flat

Oh, but you are...and you're pretty distorted, too...

I kind of thought the distortion gave this image character. Good luck author.

sad, interesting , creative... thought provoking. Lacks a few skills to create an awsome image , however nice image over all.

It's never too early for Christmas spirit! Very nice composition.

I think the beard is too white but it's very good, very original and amazing result!

i agree, your whites are too white, perhaps try a light gray and then add some fin detail with a small brush, but very nice final result.

tooo crowded

Agrees with other people's comments, plus it lacks some definition. I would suggest more detail to the beard and hat andthat might make it less white.

Well Done!

Nice entry author.
