Haha this is great. Very creative! GL.

Funny stuff!
Only one thing: he's left glove needs to be flipped.

wonderful leather jacket conversion... awesome!!!

Yikes, erikuri! Now I know why that glove looked wrong. Thank you for your sharp eye.

Superb image great creativity top job author

Sweet chop, those crow feathers add just the right touch.

very nicely done!

Thank you for your votes and comments.

There's a tutorial similar to the apple and lion, if you used that tutorial be sure to credit it.

I suggest rotating the wings a little bit counter-clockwise to match with the shape of her body.

Good luck!

no i have not used any tutorial,i can manipulate objects which has an sphere shape like that but,simply i found apple the best to use!!

good luck

If u watch high resolution,there u can see few minor issues...First one is white halo around the biggest stone (upper left corner of the stone),and u have small blending problem.Try to create few more color adjustment layers to achieve better blending.Any how,this is great image and very cool idea,fix that things author and u will have great entry...good luck

I think some reflection of the horse on the pond is needed.

nice

GL

WOW!. I though it was a real picture until I read description. Author it is amazing work. Fantastic drawing skills. My fav too

simply...WOW

what?! no way! that looks so realistic! bravo, amazing work! no offense to the other people here on pxleyes, but this is the last thing i would expect on here... goes way beyond my expectations of the work on this site. incredible!

........................................................ what an excellent work.........

I am forced to add one more comment..... please write a tutorial about it.....

Why so scared? And do you still ask???
My God, it's a perfect work, my friend... And I agree with Anoop 'bout the tut! I'd like to learn how to do something alike!
Just one thing: and what is that stuff in her nose? Irk...

Thank you, my friends, for your kind words and favorites. I surprised myself because I was scared to try this kind of work (I tried several times before but always took me a week or more to finish). The realistic portrait is much easier in BW and I used a reference to study the face structure, skin texture, etc. so basically I didn't create anything new and I'm sure if you observe the reference and do the detail carefully, you can do better than me. I'll try to make tutorial for that but maybe by making another one, not this one. @Erica: the thing in her nose is the rest of the viper (tail), it intruded her through the nose, through the mouth and now finding the way out... nightmare, huh . @ricky777: glad to know that you're still here, have a good time, man.

Amazing, great work and congrats langstrum

that's a lot of sources and very good for covering your rump on any trouble with them.. horrific situation you have created.. just like sophie's choice.. good luck

very nice mood

nice mood. good work!! edges you can make more brighter(see the light source)

This is really nice, one thing, there seems to be a bit of a perspective problem with the guardian/ knight, i don't really think that really effects the overall mood (plus there's no easy way to fix it.) nice entry, good luck

awesome work

This looks pretty real, but I think it would be even better if the knight was holding a sword up in the air (pls don't shoot me)... also her arm on the left looks a bit thick, almost like a man's arm, I think. Overall mood is awesome and great use of source. Good luck with this.

SUPER WOW

WOW!! Great!! very good job author!! i like this

a lot of work and very well done GL
