haha thanks! I didn't realize I had a recognizable style but I guess its a good thing and thanks Madamemonty, I put a lot of time into the SBS and still it could be way more complicated than I had time to explain.

Very clever, and nice work on the sbs too!!

Thank you JerseyAce! I think thats the first time I've ever gotten "clever"

Absolutely fantastic! Great lighting!

Thank you!

Your dragon has some nice work, but what I really like is how you integrated it into the background sources - nice lighting effects.

Amazing

Thanks you thanks you!! And yes I started messing around with the radial blur set to zoom and got a really nice effect! I also added in more of the streaky shadows Glad you like it!!

Masterpiece..lov it! and fav too.

THanks everyone!!!!! and I really appreciate all the feed back and of course the high votes you guys rock!!

Congrats Robert awesome work

well done .... congratulations

Whites are a bit blown out in the final version, but at least the tattoo is gone!

I wanted the whites to be blown out, it was an artistic choice

Author, just my opinion. It's still a nice image.
(Especially without the tattoo!).

No offense taken I certainly appreciate your opinion and feed back!!

Very nice final image here, author.

weird spirit...

Fantastic job ! IMO, you could desaturate the model a little to make it go better with your background. I think she's a little too white, compared to the pale blue of the background. But, that's just IMO. GL !

Edit : Better, GL !

EDIT: Thanks Aqiil, I liked your suggestion so I have changed the colouring a bit.

Nice mood and composition. She will have frostbite though.

@pingenvy ... She is a spirit so I think she will be alright The bird is probably the one with the cold feet, that is why it is standing on her dress

Pretty!! The mood here is soooo nice

Very cool work author...Best of luck

Nice sweet creation.

Congrats Arca....great entry...

Polar bear would definitely be receiving some of the campfires ambient light........
