nice feel

Nice work - but if thats the light source why is there shadow on the hands?? Maybe try and colour match out the shadows?

i will give it a try

Looks better already!

love the texture feel... very good work on this author.. over all tones are wonderful

just another update ... added some blur on the fingertips and lighten them up. Also I lighted up the fire. (sry for my bad english)

Very interesting & creative work!

cool, very mystical. I like it

cool

Very creative work . Correct spelling in title ("fo" --> "of"

Superb!

creative work!

very imaginative

Pretty cool guy! Try to blur some sharp edges & blend the limbs & body better. The 2 claws against his body are transparent.

love it

Nice work - I admit to not seeing the source in there till I looked at the sbs.. corrections as already mentioned.

good work. good colors. some sharp edges are there, correct it

well done

very good in use of source image

fantastic creation & very creative still needs a little work here & there mostly on the edges

I don't know what to say you have a really productive imagination lol amazing creation for sure

Really nice work! Excellent color and composition.

Very nice i love it!

very nice

Very very nice, at first I thought this was origionally made for the grasshopper contest as its got the same colours and all that, but this is really excellent work, nice one

This really is an amazing work. To think that you pulled this from that little street sign is just mind boggling. I love the colors and textures that you used on the creature as well. If I had to nitpick, I'd say lose the outer glow on the creature and lose the staff entirely. Sometimes less is more, and I feel that you don't really need either of those two elements. If you keep the staff, though, I'd at least fix the cap at the bottom of the shaft. It blends in with the creature's tail a bit too much and, until I viewed the hi res, I didn't even know it was part of the staff. Anyway, awesome!
