This is very lovely!
The only real visual discrepancy is that the woman is blurry when compared to the butterfly wing and the leaves around her, and the edges of your elements are too sharp.
I would suggest you use a small Blur Tool brush, with the "sample all layers" box checked, at about 20-30%, and go around your edges to soften them, and that you apply the Blur More Filter to the Wing and the leaves to make them less dominant in the image.

Really nice concept!

The idea is great, the only thing that missing is mood. Try to play with the adjustments layers specially Gradient Map, Solid Color with different layers mode.

thanks mossyb you are always a great teacher.. thanks for the comments.. it helps me improve.

thanks dreamboy i will try it next time.. thanks for comment..

Idea is great without any doubt...Dreamboy is right u should create some more layers to achieve moody feel...Also u could flip the girl up side down to get real position for the transformation in butterfly...If u have time made some changes for better score...Best of luck

thanks erathion.. truly i learn a lot from this site.. thank you guys..

Very nice concept ... agree it could have used a bit more "moodyness" but you are certainly headed in the right direction. Sorry my comment is so late!

thanks arca.

I really really like the concept, however I think the artist seems a little harsh and out of place. But, overall, I like it a lot.

This is a great concept. Perhaps if you reduce the highlight on the artist's left shoulder, arm and forearm of right side, he'll fit in a bit better. Also, I noticed a strange line in front of the ship...

Thanks for the comments - I'll see what I can do about the artist

Awesome Idea

thank you zainemma -


I toned downed the artist, better?

Very nice personal work...best of luck author

Really like that you did something personal ... and good luck in your new life and career ... and in the contest

Such a personal image. Best of luck to you in 'your new beginning'. GL

hahahahahahaha...so cool....they are damn funny, especially guy with the big forehead....GL author

nice work author....GL

Crazy! Wild! Strange and definitely new!!!

OMG - I must say, this is one of your wildest chops ever!
Did the fleas need to flee? Or were they too grumpy when the new dog came to the 'hood? The things you do with body parts..... love the larva idea.

Beautiful and expressive!

Very nice...you catched that very moment extremly nice and moodful.

Very, very nice job.

This image according to me is a winner....SUPERB my dear author I am really amazed to see this.

Awesome and inspirational, great idea for the contest too = )

Very strong entry...best of luck author...GL

Well portrayed concept ... what you are trying to express comes across very well!

Love the rope and the blowtorch! After a few hours working on a piece, goodness knows I want to either burn it or hang myself!
Well drawn, very creative!

hahahaha yes i guess u can see it that way , it all supposed to be tools for work
(lasso selection and burn brush)

Creative :

working so much at the moment, that is what my contest entry looks like at the beginning and for the last 6 months... at the end as well lol.

Creative idea author...

love the overall firmness of the image, almost waiting for PBS to make it into a tutorial and own show.. LOL

attention to detail is superb. I especially like the way the "heat" rises off of the flame of the torch and "distorts" your palette.

Excellent touch, author.

Made me smile. Nice job!

Super cool work author...best of luck

great idea .....

I agree with Mr. Big ... great attention to detail ... I love the cartoon/graphic feel to this ... your lighting is great and the concept is fun!

Nicely done, and yes, that's what I saw, too, Mr. Big - the heat maybe from the burst of energy for a new chop idea.
