Congrats on 1st

Nice eMatoma. Congrats.

Oooh such a close race for 1st 2nd and 3rd...

I like the girl on the right's hair.

There's a big chunk of her right calf, on the inside, that is missing. Right above her foot. Also I don't think they will accept that galaxy as a legit source. Since it's just a galaxy it shouldn't be hard to find a legit one that is allowed for modification.

Here's some rules on the Photoshop contests. http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2013/08/participating-in-pxleyes-photoshop-contests/

This is a great post by SpaceRanger on where to get legit sources. http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/

What Zizounai said is spot on.

Mahalo to you too seestah.

Haha... guru. You jest. I struggle with every Chop... you have no idea... But making a lady's heart skip a beat brings a smile to my face.

Oh that must be a real important question for you to have asked it 3 times. I guess my comment was neither good nor bad. I liked your chop. It's very artistic and the man's face, and expression is cool. It's maybe like when you see a painting and you say "I see this in it". To me he looks like he is just dunking his head into the water. The view that I see is "We" are underwater, and he is at the surface dunking his head in looking down at us. So to answer your question, it's neither good nor bad, but I guess since there is no real scene or background, people can interpret it as they wish, so that may be a good thing haha.

She looks cold and needs a hug.

He looks like he is under water.

She looks so pretty in the source image and so scary in the final art work. Good job author.

Even tho he looks sad, he makes me laugh.

This is really cool. I liked that you didn't just put the whole girl in the front. The way you brushed her and made her see through increases it's artistic value. Alot of the times I watch Photoshop video tutorials and am amazed at what people can do. You should make one for this Photoshop and amaze people with your skill. People will think you are a Photoshop master after seeing this work of art.

You done good author. Looks nice. Rated high.

At first glance this is a great looking Photoshop. I was impressed that you had cut out a flower headband, but when I looked at your sources I saw that you had actually made it. That was very impressive so I rated it very highly.

If he had one less, then he would have "tooth" instead of "teeth". A real bizarre photoshop. I like it.

I didn't enter this contest because it seemed like such a boring subject to me. But damn did the artists do some fantastic work! This one really amazed me and was (I think) the highest rated chop I ever voted on. It's amazing what this program can do, and it's amazing what you (yes you author) have created.

I think that "odd" was too strong of a word. Her shoe on our left looked like it was copy/pasted and not too well blended - it was very minor and I was just nit-picking. The other shoe looked OK and I think it may have looked better before you just changed it.

Lightening when it's far away looks like tree branches that can be tapered to a point.

Lightening when it's close to you, looks different. It is much thicker with less branches.

Also if you notice these lightening bolts are all not a single color, so maybe using something like Outer Glow, Inner Glow, or Shadows, etc in your Layer Styles can spruce them up.

Just another idea.. since they are about to die because of the curse, how about a vulture waiting for a meal. haha. Up to you. Mostly joking and trying to be funny, but it may work, may not.

Oh, since you asked, one more nit-pick. The residual branches/leaves on our left of the rock monster, above the lady's hat, looks out of place. And finally check this out https://image.ibb.co/fBL7QH/eye_critique.jpg

OMG that looks millions of times better. For the coup d'etat you may want to add the stars reflecting onto the water. And if you would like to do more, do you think the stargate itself would be reflecting and rippling into the water just like the dock is? I like some of the orange highlights coming from the Stargate that you put on the very edges of the soldiers. It makes the backlight look more real.

Very nice work author.

Why is his name Leon?

Nice shop. IMO the guy faces have too much red saturation for a night time scene and also because they are back-lit while casting shadows. Also, why is the dock green-ish? Since the stargate is ornage-ish, shouldn't the light cast on the dock have more orange in it fading away as it gets further away?

Good work. I like the whole scene and it makes the eyes wander around to soak in the "story". I tend to nit pick what I think are the better chops, so here we go. Not a big deal but there is just something odd about the blending of standing girl's feet into the ground - more on our left side than the right. The object in her hand does not look like it's "glowing". If it were, parts of the woman would be reflecting that light more (for example see her far arm/shoulder are dark). IMO the lightening should not be in front of Ugly Rock Monster or maybe manipulated more to look like it was. As it is, the lightening starts thick in the sky, and narrows at the end. If it were coming towards us, it would be at minimum thicker than it is towards the bottom (and I believe less "branches". There would also be mass amounts of light and would cast light reflections on the rocks monster and surrounding areas. The wrought iron work on the wall is an exceedingly nice touch and made me say to myself "Wow that was a real good use of the source" because the wrought iron stuff in the source image was just a minor detail. The people fit in wonderfully into the "feel" of the Chop. The bones are awesome and well done. The shield doesn't look much like a shield. PS mahalo for the SBS. I would not have known that was a shield otherwise.

This had a good wow factor to it.

Nice chop Mundolopez. If it was blended a little better without such hard lines, it would have scored higher.

Good work Tuckinator. There was some fierce chops this contest. Animal blends bring out some good competition.

Congrats on 3rd.

Nice creature. Good blend and a lovely Amfilamsnaistnansd or w/e it is.

Good work George.

Congrats SA. How did it work out for the mouse?

I was about to say something similar.

I liked this chop. Wonderful colors and definitely outside of the box.

I agree.

Man, if you woulda cropped it just a little more to the left, you woulda seen me surfing.

Good work.

How does he get in if the windmill is turning?

PS, how do you favorite and entry?

This was really good and one of the best Chops I have seen here in a while.

What's the story? I haven't had someone tell me a story in quite some time.

good imagination. makes the eyes wander.

I would have saved her long before he did. that's what surfer's do.

Congrats. good work Z.

CONGRATS ON 2ND rturnbow

Had to come back here a few days after posting to tell you I am still laughing.

Mush face

"Tnx, i dont know how to edit entry caption instead of Entry number 106040"

Go to "My Contest Entries" http://www.pxleyes.com/my-contest-entries/

Hover over "Entry number 106040" and it should put a yellow background on those words. Then left click on "Entry number 106040" and type in your new title.

I like the entry but I think the curvature on the top part of the blue strip is too much and to me it messes up the perspective. The bottom part of the stripe is fine, but I think the top part is too curved and should line up with the bottom part of the stripe. Of course that's my interpretation.

This is a cool idea. I like the brain in his bottle head. Maybe try to find a whole brain to put in there and clone out or delete the lettering?
