GREAT FACE! though his tuchus needs some work.. it's a bit boxy and unfinished, ( I think you could use that wonderful head flipped/manipulated to make his bottom more real) but still a fantastic chop, I LOVE HIS FACE!!! good luck (IMHO of course!!!)

I think it's perfect!!! Good luck author!

Well guys thanks for your opinion and comments!

OOOH WOOOW!..LOVE IT!..
instant fav..GL author.

Oh, we can recognize him by far...
Nice drawing and painting, author!

Congrats!!

I really like it author good job

i really like it2

The level of detail in the full res image is unbelievable! IMO, this is the best entry so far! No disrespect meant to others with entries

thanks

Great work and detail ... would love to have seen a different background ... or maybe he could have been landing in water that way your GREAT reflection could have been still been used but the image would have had more "story" to it ... just food for thought, I know I am late and there is nothing to be done now but just had to share my idea!

thx arca

very good

excellent job and brilliant result... good luck... I don't really think you need the lettering since it's in the title already... unless you used the letters to balance out the brightness of the fairy.. just a really nice job all round

EDIT.. I figured that was why it was there... GOOD LUCK!!!

Thank you demi, Drivenslush. @Drivenslush: yes, you're right, I use that for balancing the brightness of the fairy. After finishing, I realized that the light of the fairy is a little bit too strong, so... ^^

Nice image, GL

I love the drawing portion of this one, I just wish that the source and drawing fit together a bit better, but it's very nice.

Thank you Clinge and annabat. @annabat: it's true, they don't fit well, I tried some ways but not desirable. Hope that I can fix them before the deadline.

Yeah, have to agree that your painting and the source/rest of the image don't blend very well. The source looks just blurry and noisy now, you could try to keep some clarity on the source even if filtered. Your Pinocchio is awesome btw.. gonna check this out later for voting.

add a bit color to source image parts and u will have great final result...good luck author,this is very nice work

More works on the source, including the coloring like erathion mentioned, were done. Thank you very much Widiar, erathion for your suggestions.

Great work!

Beautiful! Pinoc looks so cute here

good job

Congrats for 3rd place !!

Congrats for your third place, Langstrum!

Congrats

Thank you very much, I'm trying to do better ^^

Just looks like a realistic tattoo...

I don't think enough has been done to make an immediate impact. (I have looked at the sbs and can see what's been done btw) - I think if you make it more obvious then it has more potential!.

Parts of the hair, shirt collar, left eye, nose and mouth are from the real picture so, you dont get that detail in any tattoo. But thanks for your comments, much appreciated.

I can see you added parts to make it more real but at first glance, it doesn't look like it's been changed. You might want to try adding features protruding away from the original tattoo (an arm on the side or extension of the collar) to make it look more like it was coming to life.

I don't want to add anything, I think it looks fantastic. It is coming to life, thats the idea here, thats whats happening, maybe its not as far along as you would like but it's happening, deal with it. It's a great idea, it looks great, it is great, despite what anyone says.

Good work, although, I have to agree with JamesD, try give the face more realistic parts, as if its coming out to life...GL

nice work

Great job with the texturing!

I don't think that I want to taste it Really a good job with the texture! Just one small thing: The right paring (I hope that is the right word) of the peeled banana looks very blurry. Maybe you can try to fix that? Good luck!

Very funny!

Congrats for our second place, filantrop!
