Nice job. I like the coloring.
Fantastic work,I like the color scheme and the overall theme is well thought out.. I like the reflections of the Dragon body in the lake of water.
Sad there is no SBS and hi-res...but also without it is really well done!
Congrats!

The Devil is another of the popularly misunderstood cards of the Tarot, perhaps second only to Death in this category. In our modern world we do not like to think that there is a seed of negativity in everyone, so we assume that anything bad that happens must be the work of some outside Devil, who is to be feared and shunned. But really, people do not do bad things because a force outside them is controlling their actions. They do bad things because the negative part of their own personality is expressing itself. To deny this side of yourself is to give it power over you, and to give it free reign over your life will eventually destroy you.
The symbolic portrayal of the Devil in the Tarot is a clear mockery of two previous Major Arcana, the Lovers and the Hierophant. The former parody is perhaps the more obvious. Where the angel hovers on the Lovers, the Devil stands on his card, cursing the man and woman rather than blessing them. They who were once connected to each other by love are now attached to the Devil by their chains of lust and ignorance. The Devil's hand mimics the gesture of the Hierophant, but perverts it. The true Hierophant offers spiritual wisdom and beckons to us with an open hand. The Devil's gesture hides his true intentions of hurtful wisdom - not really wisdom at all.

Nice! The picture in SBS step 2 is brilliant. You have really creative ideas for making the photos that you need for your photoshop art!
So kind and much appreciated!
Dear author, I love your creativity making your own photos to provide the sources for the contest. Must say that this Devil is with a sweet expression... I like your concept... GL
Thanks for the kind words!
Kind of creepy, but real.... like your imagination...!
True, it is creepy, that's what I was going for in this one.

Imaginative use of source, snake needs a better shadow (see snake source)...GL author.
I agree.. I knew it was missing something, thanks for the tip
I strongly believe that it could be improved a lot. In my opinion, adding some shadows to blend the three elements together would be a nice start! I'll wait before voting.
Author, you have plenty of time to revise your entry.

Author, (Just a suggestion) there are some "Bluing" debris around the neck of the green parrot face. Fixing that will help you get a higher score from voters. You may want to explore using a super tiny/soft "Smudge" tool to make the edge of the neck "Fuzzy/Furry" instead of so sharply cut.
Little details help in the realism. This is a fun idea and I wish you luck.
