very nice work author...blend is very good...also love the mood on your creation...best of luck

Can we use source files from other contests, like the background here?

author.. I get the concept, but you might want to research Josephine Baker and her famous "Banana Dance" to get a better grip on the "skirt" placement... as it stands.. it kinda looks like the banana's are paper dolled on... good luck.. and as always, this is just IMHO.. others will be along to help

Really "Banana Dance" is exellent I'll try to paint it next time.
Concerning my bananas.. hm... I think I had to put it on me to see the better result

agrees about the paper dolls comment. It looks kind of like a collage because they all have hard edges.

thanks, jawshoewhah. I softened the edges. hope you like it more now

I know which banana I want!

Better! GL!

Thanks. Good luck!

I LOVE THAT MOVIE AND THIS WAS MY FAVORITE CREATURE!!! GREAT JOB

Gotta love that look Awesome job....Best of Luck

Mike Wazowski!!!!! HA! Fav'd!

good to see wazo's avatar again... Welldone author...

Cute with more three-dimensional personality than your model/inspiration. However, the skin splotches on the face are too symmetrical [apparently a simple mirror image] for me, plus the background is kind of boring.

What joy, what fun ... what a special guy!

Ahh, memories..

To address what DanLundberg was saying, what I do when I just mirror an image, to make it look less copied I use the clone or healing brush to remove some of the more noticible repeats. Just some advice. But I love Mike Wazowski!!! (Boo was my favorite, but he was funny too) Great job!

Thanks for the comments. If you look closely you'll see the symmetry isn't 100% and is intentional. Nature loves symmetry many animals of all varieties often have symmetrical or near symmetrical qualities.

Pretty boy

Congrats for your third place, Rein!

Congrats Rein...

Thanks to all! Much appreciated!

A wolf in sheep clothes
GL !!

Edit,
Any idea were why this comment has a thumb down?

Because the grass blades are the same proportional size to fit in scene with the "supersized" sheep, your wolf looks miniaturized. Try changing the ground to fit the size of the wolf not the sheep so you get the super sized effect you are going for.

fantastic idea...

Good transformation of the source, good mood & color.

I like this a bunch, the title took me a second to get, but it's very clever, and I like how you did the dof here, well done = )
