Good image...try to match the added shadows to those in the source pic.

TY CM. I can try but I really struggled with this chop as is. Maybe make them less blurred with more color type noise in them?

Great job on the chop. I would feel safer inside a car though. I think they would be more likely to get caught and eaten trying to run away.

Congrats again BWR

TY madamemonty. Always wanted to do a giant creature Photoshop. Was fun.

Congrats!

Congratulations. Well deserved.

Congrats BW!

What a dramatic title!!!

What does this have to do with no smoking

Yeah but still look at the title ---No Smoking - Photoshop Contest

This is awesome! The colors are very bold and the contrast is excellent. Great work author!

I love it, can't stop from laughing every time i see it! There's need to set it between my favs! Also the title played a great rule this time!

So many good entries in this contest... however, this one is awesome and also provides an SBS that helps others learn what photoshop is about!

Great manipulation, author! Title reminds me of when my dog either was bitten - or chewed on a wasp! and her face swelled up like crazy. Nice contrast between BW of image and bkgd colors. Image makes me want to scream - now that's some impact!

Congratulations Driven.... scary second!

Super congratulations!

Congrats !

Congrats!!

Very impressive, I wouldn't like to meet this critter

Nice evolution, but the light reflection doesn't work with the sunlight shining from behind the creature... Better to ditch that back entrance, and make an opening above and to the right, so that the lighting is consistent.

Very cool and well crafted work! To be honest I perceive the light as coming from above, right and just in front of the creature, not behind it. So it looks correct to me.

Light spreads, this works for me. Great concept and painting, author!

Light looks fantastic to me..., but I really don't care about the light, I think the manipulation and overall result is just fantastic! Great Job author

Thanks everyone! and I do see what you mean Mossy, but I had the light just coming from the top right. Having the bright white corner just sorta threw of my composition so I put that rock in front of it. The beams of light were coming in front of him for a while, but I just didn't like what that did to the shadows. Also for all we know there is another hole up above to the right that we just cant see! perhaps if I have time I'll do some tweaking thought

Great, great work!!! Impressive!

Why thanks you!!!!

Yeeeees, the Evolution could play very eccentric tricks

Congratulations!!! Great work!!

thanks

thanks

Congrats!!

Super duper congrats!!!

Congrats

congrats for 1st. Really great work.

SUPER DUPER THANKS EVERYONE!!!

Funny image, but I'd really get rid of the different clouds background. It's too recognizable as standard clouds render and imo wont support your own creations. Good luck!

EDIT: background looks better this way, imo

CUTE!

Will see what I can do with the background, Wazowski. Appreciate your advice!

How Cute!!!

ooh... another cutey! ... only suggestion, make the wings less sharp and a better blending to the bodies

super cool funny image author...great usage of the source image...best of luck

Funny & original

Awesome!

Adorable - love this concept! Love your colors for the 2nd background.

The early bird catches the first wasp, he-he-he

Congrats!!
