nice work, love the background- after I saw the step by step it made me wish you hadn't stretched the bird quite so much

Not bad, but flip the flag part...

Thanks for the comments. I did try to flip the flag, but it just looked off somehow. I tried a few different "stretches" of the bird. The less elongated ones didn't really give a Phoenix feel...just a big bird on a building. I'll keep at it though.

This is a wicked cool but you warped the original source I can barely tell how you used it. But this is still wicked cool nonetheless

Thanks jawshoewhah. Actually, the source image is the only part I didn't warp. I even masked out the bird face in the final step so that you could see the source. It's been changed into a "firey brightness" (hopefully), but in the Hi-Res you should be able to clearly see the source image. But I agree. It's wicked cool. Didn't think I was going to be able to get it to turn out the way I envisioned, but it did.

creative use of source. fantastic outcome

Thanks you scratzilla1 for the wonderful comment.

Crazy idea. Funny! please think about the aircraft size.

I agree, shrink the plane a little.Also for me, the waves in the water detract focus from the buildings so maybe you could crop the bottom of the image a little?

Honestly think this kind of mockery is really not for me. A bit tacky...but original use of source, I suppose.

Author: No worries. I, myself, am not offended...but might be met with cynicism...

I do not want anyone to offend.Eleventh September is the date that is recorded in world history and this is only one interpretation ...

Bad idea...

lol good idea mate

The mills are well integrated, i won't comment on the theme.

i hope those mills dont work, the buildings around it will end up with more damage that what that plane will cause..

yess,,, that can to,,,:P

thought provoking

Funny, and a good blend! Perspective on "Beware" is just slightly off, but good job...

*LOL* funny. I woyuld do what CMYK46 said and maybe just a hint of blur with the sign and crocodile head.

I just looked in high res. It just looks wierd in a smaller form. yeah just fix the sign and I'll come vote later.

Okay i'm not sure if it still looks right but i adjusted the perspective a little bit, i also made the shadow on the sign post a bit darker to show the dpeth more clearly and i blurred the alligator's mouth slightly. Thanks!

hahahah good choice of head yer, just sort out the sign and it'll be awesome. Nice work buddy

oh yeah much better. Good luck.

very good job

I don't think you achieved an ice effect, the images look very pixelated.. i'd take this image to another direction and add snow instead, maybe a different sky that complements what's happening. Good luck.

LOL i guess it didnt come out to well, ima try again xD i will try a different idea xD

I love people who try and submit to expand their skills. although you may not have totally achieved your goal. well done.. explore tutorials , a good way to develop your skills.. i struggle with matching skills with ideas.

the water looks horrible and you didnt get an ice effect! the ice looks horrible! i think you should go for a totally different idea! if you do that its gonna be like a fresh start and i know tha you, author are capable of making a good image!

nice idea! i like the head good luck!

good

You mean PXL presentation

good

Good Luck
