nice piece, but i just don't get the concept... but really well done!!!!

It has a nice mood, but since the guy wears a mask, maybe the atmosphere should look a bit more poisonous.

Really cool! Too bad about the air quality. I also feel like there's a reason he/she must look over the shoulder. This would have been a good one for the Post-Apocalyptic contest too.

Love this, so mysterious = )

I really like this ... I don't know why but I do!!!

Disturbing to say the least. GL!

Fabulous piece of work author...love the feel on this one so much...best of luck

Congrats Matter...

still my favorite one. its beautiful. congratulations little one.

Congrats for 2nd, nice

great use of source

cool idea GL

I just wonder about the model,....dont you think that she should be bit smaller or that flying thing in a higher position or ......aarggh.....maybe it is just my eyes that are wrong to see the compo,.......but one thing for sure it is great work,.....

I didnt think of that, the model, but yes I will try to make different adjustments this week on this, thanks dek !

looks A LOT like a book illustration!!! Kudos!!! author.. good luck

Good image. The tentacle behind the figure makes it very hard to judge the shadows but for sure the dark comma shaped shadow to the right of the figure on the ground needs to go. You're on your own for the rest.

Hey author, great work, my gf loves it.
Tentacles' shadow should be united with the main shadow which should be a perfect elipse. Because of the angle of the light you won't see the projection of the upper side.
Imo, it would add a great effect to make a shadow of the bubble as well, use this as reference:

thanks guys,and greymval thanks for the advice!

interesting!

It definitely looks better, good job!
I don't wanna be pushy, but you should know that the shadow for a suspended object equals the length of an object when light source is above.
So the dark elipse should be same length as the ufo, and the light elipse same length as the diameter of the bubble ( which is an energy shield, right? ).

ooo,,,
you are right againnn I spend a lot just for these shadow

I love it. I love the concept, i love the execution and i love the title. Really well done author

Wild! GL!

Very cool surrealistic image!

Author, here's a good link on casting shadows.

I know there are others, but I can't find 'em right now. Good luck!

Love the illustration look. I personally don't get the title.

Shadows continue to be a problem. The figure's shadow seems to be cast in a different direction than the UFO's. A line drawn from the center of the UFO's shadow through the center of the UFO itself doesn't continue on through the center of the light source. The tentacle shadows don't blend that smoothly into the UFO body's shadow.

With the strong back-light source, the front lighting of the UFO (and especially its underside and the tentacle connections) and the side/slightly-front lighting of the figure seem unnatural.

cmyk: thank you for the link , it was usefull !
dan: the title cames from buble , if you look at source 3, the sky is in the buble but I blend it at hard light mode and I losee the shape of the clouds, I think I will change this too
for the shadow you are right, but I know now what the problem was
the proble is the shadow of the girl in originaly source , I manipulate the photo ....but I didnt manipulate the shadow og the girl!
I think that if I wash out a little the shadow of the girl and with the right perspective for the other shadows that will be much better!I will try.
Thank you again all, I learn a lot from this entry and this is good!

Very very nice work author...i did not saw previous edition,but this one look very good...best of luck

Congrats on second !!

Congrats...so cool work...

Congrats for 2nd, nice

thank you!

Congrats!

have you met my brother?... LOL.. great idea
just love fighting about butter LOL

SBS is mandatory for source only images.

Nice idea, but work on the shadows, and the one under looks flat at the head area. Good luck

Nice concept

Thanks for all the comments. Thanks hoore10 for the fav.

It's a great idea but I think the border is not necessary.

add a small shade/shadow between the glob and thumb... see the basket ball for source for refference.. Also it will be a good idea if the glob is inside the waterfall... (just an idea) good luck

It looks like the arm starts to fade towards the bottom, is that effect intentional? The arm also has some visible white edges, especially as it gets closer to the globe. Good luck
