lol i love those monsters

monter looks nice

Very original, nice thought!

Amazing

Congratualtions..... Bob!

Congrats. Nice work.

Sweet looking image! Just wish the SBS had some explanation along with the images. GL author!

It had a LOT of color adjustment, cloning, and painting, with a bit of "sketch" layers added for detail. About 40-50 layers, all said and done.

simply nice............ meow!

beautiful work..
but i dnt like the background author, looks weird.
just opinion

It's meant to be somewhat "impressionist..."

Not bad, buggy seems to be missing a handle knob judging by the angle.

Actually, it's a side view of a handle that runs horizontally. There is also the slightest bit of a vertical along the left edge of the buggy basket. If you check the source photo (#1 in the list), you'll see that it's the angle of the photo.

I really like the impressionist feel, it adds to the surreal atmosphere! Very good choice of animals, love the fish!

High mark! Good luck

What a baby!

He's a bit big for his age, but has a face you gotta love...lol!

This is just lovely! Amazing work!

Congrats!!

For some reason reminds me a bit of Donnie Darko . Perhaps I'd make the guy's shadow a tiny bit darker and give the suite a little bit of yellow photofilter. If you want you can give the guy a tiny blur (you can experiment easier with it if you make a smart object from the head and body) and also add a layer (with blending overlay) with some tiny grain noise, so it fits better with the quality of the background photo. Good luck!

EDIT: good improvement imo

Thank you so much for the suggestions, Waz! A bit of Film Grain really helped. I couldn't get the color filter to cooperate, but using Selective Color and adjusting the neutrals to have a bit more yellow and a bit less cyan seemed to do the trick.

This is looking great. I agree that the shadow of the man needs to be darker. Overall a nice creepy image. Love the description.

Not too shabby. Nice work.

great image, good luck!

Use a color treatment, deep shadows and glows to highlight it would be a good thing to give another guy image. Is a tip and good luck.

i think its fine the way it is..

Thanks CrystleClear But look at step 11 in sbs. it was lighter & I did a overlay of colors Not sure if thats what willianmachado had ment look at step 11 and step 12 where its at now

They look like they are floating, they need a shadow similar to the giant.

The idea is a good one, but the depth of field is too shallow on the background image to make a convincing blend.

Edited the image, @solkee and @ponti55 tried to solve the problem with the shadow and depth by adding a solid color adjustment layer and used the clone stamp to create a similar shadow. Thank you very much for you comments!

Oh and almost forgot.. There was a greenish color on the shoe laces, got rid of that too

Nice I like this = )

Nice! GL!

Fantastic feel on this work...love the color selection and mood is simply amazing...instant fav from me...well done author

Thanx so much for the nice comments! That puts a smile on my face
