maybe a winner....great

What a cool idea! The heat from the bulb provides the lift! Great image, very fun. I'd love to see the sky full of these!

Oh thanks!!! and Mossy great idea, I might mess around with putting some smaller ones in the background when I have some time

Perfect!...

That would be cool, but I meant I'd love to see the "Real World" sky full of these!
If you add more to your image, just don't "cookie cutter" use the same one, okay? Better to leave it be than detract with clones...

Wonderful work! This just yelled "fav fav" to me!

very steam punk... woo hoo... excellent work!

Stunning work

absolutely awesomme ...

Very fun and creative steampunk approach to this contest.

I don't get the mixture of taut cables (clearly supporting the gondola hanging from the balloons) and flaccid cables between the balloons and the gondola. And the small balloon's connection point to the gondola is very odd.

The horizon line of the balloon bottoms is down (albeit different horizon lines for each balloon) while that of the gondola is up.

Notwithstanding the title on source 4, I find the ship more wreck than steampunk.

Fantastic work author, my fav !

Nice mood! I'd maybe add some stars to the sky, but I like this!

thank you Mossy sometimes I love the darkness of the night,It reminded me of a place that I miss always,at my village,no electricity other than lighting of the lamp with kerosene fuel,I live in the village until I was 9 years old...you're right,add some star will definitely look more beautiful..

is that a moon on the top right? gl

yes deki..that`s a moon.

sooOOoOOooOOOOoOOooooo COOL!!! great job! and upload a hi res..

EDIT: YEAH! Whisker fix great job author

Hi Res just for you Driven slush....

This is utterly delightful!

Excellent work!

Hilarious, love it!

Great entry!

But IMHO there's room for improvement... the stripes on the cat can be blended nicer (edges are to harsh) and a lack of a decent background which can be solved by a very blurred forest source or something like that. In short... I really really do like the head (don't even try to touch it anymore, it is perfect the way it is now. If you do: I have my ways to find you author ) but you can give the rest of the image some more attention.
Sorry if I sound harsh, that's not the way I intended it, trying to offer critique to improve this entry.

robvdn: HARSH! NO! great feedback that i find very helpful... THANKS> you have covered everything that i struggled with.... Did not think of a forest background.

Critique for improvement... THANKS AND HIUGS for the help.

Thanks to everyone for the great feedback and comments.

made some changes.. love to hear what you think..

Ummm...now you've lost all major reference to the tilted bulb contest source...Just having it as the bright spots on the flowers is a minimal use at best, making this a nice CBR, but a bit of a topic stretch...But it'll probably still win, because too many voters couldn't care less about the amount of contest source when compared to the "wow" factor.

thanks MOssdy B. Took a stance with a happy medium.. I put back the source background , keeping in theme MORE.

Fixed blending probs with the stripes.

great work!!

What should i say...Instant fav here...
