nice but you clearly haven't read the rules of use regarding your saddle source from DeviantART.

amazing one

Interesting use of the face on the cliff. The saddle is for use on DA only, but I'm sure you can find another. GL.

Yep Removed the Saddle until i can find another. Thanks for the comments.

one word auth... AWESOME!!!!!

Very lovely compilation, i love the way you made the light/reflection on the rock.

Very nice image, I love the mood. I do think the soldier looks just a little too big in comparison with the elephant though.

Nice job! Love the color pallet on this

great job - nice, smooth blending , good choice of colors as well

Landscape is beautiful and quiet colors

i prefer the highly contrasted picture.

I think you did a good job here, following the tutorial. I appreciate your time, reading it, and putting your own work to it. Please pay attention to the left foot, read the tutorial, almost at the end of the step 12 , there tells you how to make it. Good luck.

Well, George is a great artist and you chose very well his tut. Nice effort, but you really need to work on the foot.

Yes, other than the foot, you did a pretty good job interpreting the tutorial.

Me, too! This is a great one, author! I'm laughing too hard to ask if there's a source for the dog's eye. Poor kitty!

if you can.. etch up the worry in the owners face..she's a bit stoic.. now excuse me while I laugh my a$$ off.. hehehehe

I am going to have to agree with all of the above. Fantastically humorous!

hehehh...really clever entry ..i love your composition

Good pick of source, funny result . Tiny nitpick, the window frame is blurry because in the source image the focus in on the outside. The dog however is sharp, just as the foreground. In that case the frame cant be blurry. If you have some time left you might want to make a sharper window frame. Good luck!

very funny! love it!

Very funny and cleaver entry.

very good

That's quite funny! Look at the dog's eye!... Poor kitty...
Btw, how did you do the eye?

Thanks for the comments guys, unfortunatly I flattened the eye layers but I`ve re-created it and added an sbs for those interested

Love the cat's expression

The dog's expression is so funny! XD

I start hating dogs more and more LOL

I love it lol perfect Authir

Congrats, love the expressions on the animals

congrats.. great job

Good job ! congrats

Gino, congrats again! This one is for making light a boring day!...

Congrats! This is very funny!

Congrats!

beautiful job! it's rare to see actual emotions in an image, and this one really says a thousand words. i just think the sun rays are a bit too strong, you might also want to experiment with lens flare or something it's your choice anyway

nicely done.

yeah i do think the light rays are a little sharp..maybe some blur?..but no need for anything else..this is a great image as is..high marks from me..good luck!

Did anybody lose the teddy or it was left there?... It seems full of memories... Sad and beautiful work! We can imagine a lot of things looking at this image... GL!

Great work author...story is behind this image...good luck

Thank you all! Fatz i followed your advice, I blurred the light rays and pulled back the opacity a bit. Thanks

that realy cool i like it
