good re creation author pretty close there
Francisco de Goya, "El sueño de la razón produce monstruos". (Etching, c. 1798)
When reason goes to sleep, the monsters come out.
Irrational nightmares, or fantastic creatures? Deranged bats and owls attack the artist, as the guardian cats rouse, but one owl is offering a brush... or is he stealing?

Thank you! I hope it is close to what he saw.
very goid, bravo
Thank you lincemiope
Nice recreation of the original picture author. Well done and good luck
Thank you. I only wish I'd given myself one more day to make the creatures a little stranger
sorry you didn't place higher, you definately deserved to be atleast 3rd place Sometimes hard work doesn't pay off around here
Well thank you for encouragement on the bats and owls pic... barely hoped for fourth but given that it's pretty easy to misunderstand the theme as "copy a painting" I figured some voters might score it lower. At least the contest made me finally get around to doing this image. Appreciate it Angela

Extraction (edges) needs a bit of work, but great coloring!

Nice surreal image. The blending of the little hippo could be a little better. I think the lower edge should be softened.
thanks dusty! got it

You might want to soften the edges of the camel to match the sharpness of the surrounding image.
Also when adding shadows make the 'connection' of the two surfaces similar in darkness. i.e. the camel looks a bit like it's floating because the darkness of the shadow you made doesn't match the parts of the camel that are meant to be in contact.
The shadows are about right in strength, you just need to add that much darkness to the camel as well, or lighten it up where it's darker. If you don't understand what I mean (which wouldn't surprise me because sometimes I don't express myself very well send me a PM so I can illustrate.
PS: Just want to help!
Hee-hee! Sweet!
Thanks!
