Hi Pxleye members. I'm still in the beginner level on this site and try my best to make the best images I can, but I get a bit disheartened that I rarely ever get comments, whether good or bad. I would really love to learn more because art is what I want to do in my life. Comments are really greatly welcomed

This is an extremely good piece for a beginner ... a few little things I noticed. There is a bit of blur on the base that the Teddy is sitting on - just up from the bottom. Joining of the legs could be a little less "smudgie" and there is a bit of redundent cloning by his neck on the left side (my left as I look at him ;D). Shadows are not quite right but I have problems with those myself so not sure what you could do to fix them ... and the base look a little like it is "tilting' forward.

I know that it is too late to fix anything now but thought I would let you know for future entries ... sorry about being late but I was sick and just did not have time this week to get to it before

These are all pretty minor problems; I had to look at it in Hi Res to catch them. As I said at the beginning, it is a wonderful image and you have done a very good job ... keep up this way and you are definitely going in the right direction! Bravo!

Very good SBS as well!

Hey, thanks so much arca. I really appreciate it. I did notice the blur myself, and don't know at what point that happened, but it was too late to fix then. I do need to learn more about shadows. But again, thank you for the advice, and I'm glad you like it

You did a good job on the making of the teddy bear from stones. You will learn more here at the contests.... Just be patient, it takes time to be a master....but you will.... good luck.

Cool mossy teddy

Thank you both! I appreciate it. I didn't mean to come off as impatient, and I understand that practice makes perfect. I just wanted some advice instead of feeling like I entered for nothing. Advice is why I enter so that I can grow. But anyway, thanks again.

Very nice work author...great construction....gl

Keep it up author! You're doing great best of luck

Congrats for your third place!

Hey! Thanks!!! I thank everyone who voted for me and fav-ed me. And congratulations to the others!

Congrats...

Congrats!!

Congrats!!! I knew this was a great image!

this is fantastic work,and yes i agree with Nator,u don't need type at all...

what brushes did you use?
i think you might be missing credits.

I almost used this exact stock image! Good luck.

Ok I went back and removed the text, made sure only stock brushes were used, I didn't even us the ones I made, and it's one stock photo and my photo texture and all is included in the SBS and HR attached....

Thanks all for comments... and it is funny how the same pictures are used over and over again especially from DeviantArt... lol...

I notified the artist... (but didn't get feedback yet..... hopefully she likes it)..... I did get an email with further links to her work... lol.... maybe that is what she wants..... but all is in accordance with Pxleyes guidelines and that of the DeviantArt, Artist.... Thanks again all for the support!

Great work. There is so much going on yet the composition makes the image very easy on the eye. Nice sbs too!

coolness!

Another masterpiece, love your illustration and borrowing of parts! Pretty cool work - did you count the layers? LOL

This could not be better than . good luck

very neat work author...best of luck

Amazing work, full of delicacy.

Another master peace

Many thanks to all for the nice comments and favs!

very good

wow!! awesome!! I didnt expect it was u wow u added the tatoo too!! looks so real

Nice image, very different from your normal style, dabbling in the dark arts I know it to late now maybe for future ref. not so sure the two different color eyes are working. And the tattoo is far too sharp for you source choice. Maybe blur the edges and a simple over lay would have worked better.

Love this one
GL

She looks so sweet... Does really have any blood thirst in her soul?

Interesting tattoo. Any personal meaning or just something to add to appeal?

Or the fact that I think 1 in 4 people on average have one now days?

Unique idea and congrats for not associating with a previous design. GL!

Thank you very much for the kind words and support, Josh! Nothing personal with the tatoo, I created it especially for this vamp girl- to fit her mood and colors

What a sporty looking vamp.

Many thanks to all for the nice comments and favs!

Congrats!

Congratulations for 2nd

thank you all

Congrats
