Unfortunately you are not allowed to use premanipulated images in your submission (unless the alien is a real photo which I'd doubt . You will have to create your own aliens and replace these I'm afraid.

Sources look OK now...try to work on the shadows, and good luck now that your image is "legal".

good good

good attempt author.

you weren't supposed to use aliens... the idea is not bad, though

very clever! I love the look of this, good luck!

Good idea...try to fix white edges on painter...
EDIT: Looks great now, good luck!

oh i like this, its like billboard one

sharpen him a bit

nicce job

Nice idea and result

i like it

good idea author, so far it is definately standing out in the group

This is awesome! Very creative!

Very creative idea!Well done!

Excellent idea...it would be even better if you could somehow make the unpainted areas...not shiny or less so.

Thank you very much to everyone for your very encouraging comments. Pixelkid, thank you for the suggestion, i tried decreasing the contrast of the unpainted side of the lips and i also used the burn tool on some of the highlights. I also tried using the Channel mixer to try and achieve the effect that i thought you were looking for, but in the end it really didn't look great. One area was just too washed out and didn't fit at all with the contrast of the rest of the image. Either way, thank you very much for the comment

very good idea and good work.gl

Funny concept nicely done.

Absolutely Extraordinary!

SIMPLE YET VERY EFECTIVE,

Really nice work, well executed. Good Luck!

Great idea...but with the ladder resting against the chin, the painter would be bending backwards to paint the lips. If the ladder was resting on the lips with a shad from the ladder that defined depth, it would be perfect. I like the high gloss lips that aren't yet painted. You've established a great neutral look in that area. Good Luck!

COOL BANANAS

Once again thank you all for your comments. Stowsk, i understand what you mean, but the reason that i didn't worry too much about that is because from the source, if you look at the shadow on the chin it becomes clear that the chin is protruding quite a bit, and seeing as how the chin can't be seen in the source, i thought that it could be the way it is.

Congrats

Wooo!!!

Good to see this again. Good Luck!

Just as funny as the first time...good luck!

nice!

Sry dude but i think i saw a tutorial with this kind of image... It was about this perspective and brush painting... Anywayz good luck :\

@justine8787: Dude...don't be sry, don't be sry at all...I welcome all comments! Would love to see that tutorial!!

Nice touch

Really nice source image! Nice composition...far more effective as you have it than in full color.

Beautiful!

neat

Pixelkid is right. It is way more effective as black and white image You found a very good source. Good luck!

i first looked at this and thought you photoshopped in the hand and the paint. Still it looks very nice, goodluck author.

Interesting idea, good luck!

I like this idea....made me chuckle, but a higher res image would have worked better...i think.
