Lots of layers and blending...
Thanks to lindowyn-stock, *unholy-stock, night_fate, and Buckey for the great images!!!
Changed the hues a little thankx to some good advise!!
Was able to fix the hues on the water inside the bulb...thanks for the advise!! (5 years and 3710 days ago)
Will the idea become reality? (5 years and 3710 days ago)
Nice idea!
Very nice!
hahaha love it!
Nice, but why so much black around it? Good luck!
to wazowski: i wanted to add the feeling that the baby is lonley and alone. hope it worked. 
Ah, that's all ok (I already had a clue). Thing is, on my screen I see 2 different backgrounds. One is real black and another one from -I guess- the bulb source. Up to you if you want to keep it like that. Good luck!
looks like you have a better monitor... 
mine is old as matusalem... lol i'll fix it... thx

I cut pieces from the porcelain pumpkin image, added them onto the stone ball. Colored and added shadows to every element.
Added dwarf, added shadows for him, added backround and grass, and colored using a couple of adjustment layers.
Added butterflies, galaxies and light beams brushes.
Added gradients to obtain warm color and light.

A couple of the butterflies shouldn't be casting shadows on the air, otherwise not bad...
Edit: Shadows corrected, good luck.

Nice idea, but it looks like a copy and paste job to me, you could try finding ana ctual statue image and put it in there, and maybe add a nice backfdrop
i'm missing a lot of sources
took your advice ponti55 added a backdrop and some shadows
i like this one! i think the thinker should be upright and the copy and paste thing fits too!

PS Bryce used
The first time I have attempted a combo of these two. (5 years and 3710 days ago)
Hehe, very nice! Good luck!
Good idea...ball shadow isn't right, figures need better highlights....
Maybe if u soften the edge of sphere's shadow...will look more nice.
good use of source
when i saw this image it made me smile so just for that, high marks.
gl
nice spotlight...

Very nice, but before i looked at the image closely, i thought the sea was sand.. if it's meant to be the sea i think you should make it blue.. and maybe work on a light reflection , otherwise if you like the colour of the ocean, you should make the lightbulb and the ship match as well. Good luck!
nice image good luck
wow the ocean is great! i think the bulb is cool and the ship is a great image to use! the idea is awesome! aqnd the alternation between the bottle and bulb is great a fave deffinately!
Good image nice thinking on this....the bulb should be a little more transparent ....
good idea
very nice idea...
o.o dunno why you changed it but i liked the water in the bottle better when was darker and greyer same with the ship they look more painted on especially because the light bulb doesnt seem to be transparant
Me too, but because the first ocean had a non-derivitive copyright that I did not see at first I hade to pic another...I will try and get that water in the bottle to match up a little better. Thanks for the advice!!
