Interesting idea, but too dark...figure is hardly visible against background.

For me no problem that the statue is dark, i think it fits perfectly with the Tron concept. Something that cóuld do with an improvement are the neon lines. You want to make a hi-tech outfit, but imo these lines should have the hitech eel. Which means smooth tight lines and not wobbly as they look now. I guess you used a simple brush for that, while the use of the pen tool (with the option "stroke path" ) can be thé solution to make cool non-wobbly lines. Check here to read more abouth using the pen tool http://www.tutorialchip.com/photoshop/photoshop-pen-tool-basics-part-1/ (scroll down for the use of stroke path. Btw the 2 pairs of eyes are a bit too much for my taste, or at least the red dots are a bit hard to define as eyes. Good luck!

This is hilarious and very well done. Love the imagination behind the image. Thanks for the laugh!

Good grins here, author, and well made image. GL!

This is soooo funny!! Well done author

very nice work author
little fav for you man good luck

Congrats...should have won!

Congrats!!

Nice Congrats

hehehehehe... super great use of own photos.. AWESOME

Great job!

I would have liked to have seen more of the character rather than a close up of his face... it's not really capturing the sense of bringing the character alive, but that's just my opinion...

Cute, but not exactly on theme.

I like the close up ... I knew who/what he was immediately so it worked for me ... chuckle, giggle and chuckle!

Quite good blending and interesting idea. My nitpicks are the light comes mostly from left sides and a bit from right side based on the body (that's not direct light), but on the face the light comes from the right side, so you should adjust the light on his face to be more uniform (increase the light from the left side). Also, the eyebrows are white but the hair is still dark (maybe it's still acceptable since he can colorize his hair lol). The last thing is the stroke around the body and face is still visible in Hi-Res, you need to clean it more (make some hair for him, so the head won't look like cut and paste). Hope this helps and good luck!
PS: if you're able to make the folds on his body skin as the one on his face, that will be great!

Thanks for the suggestion langstrum. Added some hair and used some dodge and burn on the face and neck. Also removed some of the sharpness which caused the halo around him. I hope it looks better now.

Wow...excellent work. Great job, author!

Looks great! Just have the wall behind him show through the glasses next to his face.

Holy blue suede orthopedic shoes! Hey that "cigarette" looks hand rolled. Could it be... nah. Very convincing image, I expect the tabloids will be running it soon. Excellent work!

Fantastic work author...every single detail look so realistic...u did really really god job here...well done

Congrats!! Nice work!

Congrats! You earned it!

I'll respect of every soldier

haha cool idea

Nice mood. I confess that I feel like the wimpy-edged crosses in the background look more vampirish than an homage to the fallen, however. I think crisp, military edges on the crosses would be more compelling.

great

Nice one, it's a great tribute for all those heroes that lost their lives in any war.
