Lovely work, romantic colors!

beautiful!

thank you!

Nice idea!

Love the idea! I do find it a little over saturated but I will have to come back and look at it again, could just be my mood and after seeing the previous submission the difference is a little striking. I would also suggest some slight ripple lines to give the swans a sense of movement, they seem a little static right now.

Other than that it is a wonderful composition and well thought out! Great concept. I am going to come back for a second (and possibly third) look before voting though as I think this image will just get better and better each time.

i will definitely add some ripple, thank you for the suggestion, i knew something was missing!

Beautiful scene author...best of luck

thank you so much erathion!

Very pretty work. Love the tones. :0

The nose horn gets lost in the dark background. Perhaps lightening the barn just a bit to better emphasize the contrast?

Ummm...I don't see a nose horn.

@ Mossy, I can see what you think is a horn, but if you look at the high res, it's actually part of the background, not atached to the horse.

Nice original job here author. GL!

actually there is no nose horn..thanks for your comments (:

For such a hardcore picture its also very soft. I really like the mood of this, and very cool horse!

nice work...gl

have u draw this?....its very nice...:-O

I would have voted higher had this been a "colouring in" competition. Full marks for managing to keep within the lines of the illustration though
@silencer32 No they didn`t draw it (but they want you to think they did!)

I agree with Geexman. Methinks your SBS is very misleading...it doesn't matter if you got the person's consent, you basically just copied and traced all the art. Not very orginal. Sorry... With your skills, you could have made a really nice entry here...you should try again.

who wants to see the SBS file, it's uploaded here:

...maybe i'm not verry original but ....however you say!!!!...although I don't see why should demonstrate that ?!!?!??!....quat erat demonstrandum!!!

just like an ideea!!! ....reading my step 11 from my SBS.....for mode and maybe some loosers who complained !!!!!
and cosidering that:....source 1 is not a reference....just a source with under licensed 3.0....!!!!

i just want to till you that your work are very good and ,and i wish for you good luck and i'm try to study your sbs

The point being made is that you have simply coloured in another illustration and your SBS is structured to mislead. Whilst "losers" & "mods" can see that its legal, the fact is that step one shows the line drawings alongside your "colouring" giving the effect that you have drawn it! .....SO why did you originally name source 1 as "reference" if not to mislead and why not show the illustration source as a whole?

i posted my sbs...who want to understand...uderstood that..maybe next time some people, understand that , not everyone steals!!! and first reading with carefully what is available and then accuse!!!

Your entry seems to be within the rules and guidelines however I'm not the moderator for this contest.
I do agree with our fellow members Geexman and gamemastertips, your SBS was misleading whether that was intentional or not the inference is the same. Those comments while of a negative nature were not worded in a vicious or derogatory way yet you felt it necessary to refer to detractors as "loosers" which I assume means "losers". Had you responded in a simple academic manner I would have respected your answer more.

@spaceranger......i don't say who is the looser here...i said about those who complained..... for example: hey teacher....teacher !!!! ....John made me stupid!!!...am I , or not...!?

very good author, like the idea of difference. Contrast in colouring is brilliant

I actually think this is clever and well done. Good luck.

Its strange the things you can find on this internet thingy ....this kinda makes your step one even more deceptive (oh and this image isn`t licensed to adapt upon) - http://piotsh.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1dkjk2.

i now that link geexman.....but in my sbs and the same PSD file i showed how i did...if you don't believe me ... don't belive that!!!...simple!!!..do you insinuate something?...tell me directly!!!!!...similar but not the same....and over all this it's the same source....anything else?...btw...what did you say for this link....http://piotsh.deviantart.com/art/Nicolai-Puppetmaster-154446782?????
here is a similar example:
http://crazychelie.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2a35c6.....http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-picture/4a2e561e17876/Crazy-Lady.html
here nobody said it would not be original or stolen...why?....do you want another example?...just saying...i have another!!!!
PS

if you show one work of mine that I stolen I agree with everything you say or do ..... but until then stay quiet .... life is too short to make a heart disease!!!..and another thing from now one pls!!!... ignore me.........Mr. Originality...wich you are!!!

Author, Geexman's recent post had nothing to do with originality. The point being is that the coloring is blatantly identical to http://piotsh.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d1dkjk2, and the copyright is for "no derivative works." No one is saying that you cut and pasted the entry, it's just the fact that the coloring is pretty much duplicated.

@gamemastertips....You geexman's lawyer? or the second Mr. Originality?......i have a doubt about you, i should add quotes....

the edges are not good and you need to work on the line in the glass, were you removed the beer

gl

Absolutely brilliant sweetheART love it lol! ;} happy hippy hugglez

ahahah nooo not another

wow! It's Sloth's sister I think you need to work on the perspectives of the eye and nose. Even the most violent of arse whoopins wouldn't make a person look physically retarded. GL!

LMAO

Maybe she got hit by a mac truck bumper..........."Jaws"........since this a photoshop contest and not photography, I'm fine with it.......besides
I'm trying to get familiar to CS5

Not convincing...

try the content aware for dissolving the light bulbs.. (its a BLAST.. and you could use the Puppet Warp to move the eye down a bit) it's a little tricky but OH SO MUCH FUN!!!.. good luck author (though I do know it feels like you are starting from scratch)... hehehe

Thanks for the tips Drivenslush......I did make a few changes

excellent.. boy do I understand learning the ropes on a new program.. I bought a drawing tablet and I finally got it hooked up.. and it still scares me to death LOL.. much improved author..

I like the bloodshot eye, but the cut on the lip could use a little work. Good job, though.

Getting hit by a Mack truck bumper works for me...in that case I can believe it...a cool addition might be to wrap her head like in a zombie wrap.

Hit by a truck? Only the face?

Everything else is clean, makes it not so convincing, but it´s better now than before the changes.
