Lovely entry and great idea! I'm totally in love with the two blue feathers in the hair and the sphere. (I love blue, so it's easy to impress me ) And of course also a great job in creating the person. The only thing, that (IMO) could be improved is the hair on the right part of the persons head above the "headband". It looks like you forgot to smudge a part there. In case you wanted it like that, just ignore me Good luck!

Thank you, Lelaina

Nicely done

good use of source!! GL

This is great work...maybe the best in this section,love the colors,love the creativity...and one minor observation,his left eye should be sharper,just a bit.....still high marks from me for this great entry

Nice wizard!

You used some real creativity with this. Loved the way you put this together, GL

Congrats

very cute!

ah crud.. I'm going to lose all my vote points.. .. but this image makes me not care LOL.. great job.. (hugging myself as we speak LOL)

Great entry, try darkening the girl up a bit.

Oh see, I actually like how bright she is. Just like that image of the earth which is real. Or how bright the moon is in the real sky. I imagine a star shining down on a child standing on top of the earth would be a bright thing. lol. But thanks for the suggestion

Nice image. The light beam would continue past the child...

Very nice! Great job on the shadow. GL

Aaaw... Sweet! Great choice of sources for the girl. She fits perfect. Good luck

serelium /platinum effect.good job

The lense flare in the bottom corner is very nice, but I feel like anyone could just take an orb and splash some colors on it, nice work and good luck.

I like it, but it looks like the light is coming from different directions...

Fewer than three steps? :P

I used to spend all day on my sbs. Then I would get no comments. Then I would get a low score with no feedback. Takes too much time. If anyone really wants to know how I do something I wrote out the steps. I'm not bothering with individual pictures of steps.

A bit filter heavy, but it looks nice.

No, only one filter. Gaussian blur used once. Everything else is adjustments and levels.

A few rusty textures on the gun would look great, but this is a nice image on it's own.

Good concept! Some improvements: Edges seems to be too blurred, the rifles angle may be wrong, the shadows on the ground are hardly visible, there should be no light comming from the ground (lightsource behind/below the original source). High-res is also nice.

Very nice idea and result!
