So, if I peel a tennis ball, I get another one of another color... great!

Nice job, as always author!

EDIT: not who I thought you were

lol ... to I wondered, because i haven't been on here long enough for people to know me

wouldn't the light be on the other side of the ball??

The light is on the top-left of the ball...the light is coming from the top-left. Think I should emphasise the light more?

no, quite the opposite, you should emphasise the shadows more... shadows and lighting are key, but shadows need work on the bottom right of the ball.. just make it darker so its not all the same lightness

Very impressive! Are the eyes just drawn? They're almost perfect...

nice work.. GL

This is very very nice work,but Atlas image is not usable...

From Wikipedia: "I grant anyone the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law." I've seen pictures used here with the same Wikipedia liscense. What would make it not usable? Is there some hidden copyright that I don't know about? O.o I'll fix the shadows more, thanks, bdesign, as soon as I make sure my picture is okay...

looks very good

awesome work ! the atlas image is NOT copyrighted and it can be used

Thanks, Lamantine. I looked around on the site more and found a few places where entries used Wikipedia pictures with the same copyright. So, yes, should be alright. I'll go ahead with the SBS and extra shading.

To me, the light rays are distracting, but over all I think this is a great image...good luck!

nice

Wow! Great work!

hehehe.. mountain dew works better LOLOLOL.. hehehe.. great job

But don't drink coffee after 7 o'clock pm, it may cause insomnia... Beautiful work!

beautiful ... imo bowling ball retracts from the subtle beauty of the image ...high marks from me though

Great job...well done author

Thank you guys.. Unfortunately I DO drink coffe after 7 pm... A LOT actually... :P but I'm glad you liked my work.

You aren't the only one

Congrats for your third place, MrLuna! Good to see you entering again

Congrats! for 3rd

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats!

Thanx ! I didn't know I was being missed around here !! I'll try to login more often now...

Not bad...just looks a bit cut out. Try blurring the shadows a bit and maybe even some of the smaller crafts.

Very nice,different idea...good luck author

got it game master P, forgot about the shadows completely and added blur

Not bad, but the light on the UFOs is from the opposite direction. Good luck!

Imagine that you suddenly look at your window and... oh gosh! UFOs!!!

Hmm better. Try a bit more blur, if you want. When you zoom out so far, the blur is hard to see. It's only in high-def that it becomes clear. Of course, only if you wish. Good luck, author.

great idea ! awesome work

Waz is right, the shadow are going in the wrong direction.

I like the originality of your craft.

I like the originality of your craft.

Shouldn't it be "Raiders" of the lost tennis ball? Or do you quest alone?

Heh...tried that. No space for the 's.' Had to sacrifice a letter lol.

EDIT: Title changed. Better now?

Pretty cool chop!

Are the darts some kind of protection against... thieves?

Yup. Seen Raiders of the Lost Ark?

nice peice, shame the ball is hairless

It's golden. Does gold have hair?

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Yeah it's cool! GL
