Very William Blake, GOOD LUCK author, great twist on the theme

Great concept and well done author.

Looks good in low res, filters are too obvious in high res. Nice work anyway.

yep, looks more digital then painted

The whites of the eyes of the center figure are a bit too bright, and both he and Gandalf are lit from the opposite side of the rest of the image, which contributes to the "digital" look.

OK ...
CMY46: I think I have sorted out the filter issues
Glockman: Have attempted to make it look more painted than digital
MossyB : have fixed Gimli's eyes and face orientation/overall lighting

Thanks for all your comments

nice work author...gl

Great idea, but the blending needs to be more subtle!
Edit: On second look (And author, good entries always merit a second look) maybe the eyes could be a touch more red or green to separate them from the background. GL>

CMYK46 thanks for the comment this was my first attempt at a blending like this. I will play with it and see if i am able to improve on the blend.

PS: The title alone is a definite plus...good luck, author...waiting to see the revision.

Haha I tryed to do something like this and failed miserably >.< So congrats! xD

Thanks Becca i tried and failed at first too was actually trying to create a similar effect for one of the other competitions got so frustated with it i gave up. Keep plugging away i guess the motto is.

good job im liking her eyes. i dont get the title india is in asia right

Bompy i believe ur right it is but as i said was drawing a blank on the title thats the best i could think of. If i have any enlightening moments i will update it.

the writing in the background makes me think of an old spell wrote down like some kind of ancient magic is happening

Good blend !
India it's already in Asia, but i guess you meant like India meets Japan or "my mom & the tiger" (lol).

To put more of India in this picture you could make the Kanji's fade into Hindi writing.

here's a source, if you care:
