Where is everyone?

1st and 3rd. Not bad SA.

Congratulations Z.

Lovely Chop skyangel. Definitely deserved to win.

Not true. People help each other all the time. I change my Chops due to people's suggestions all the time. For example in this one George55 & CMYK46 suggested that I move some things around and change some colors here and there, which I did.

That's so funny. I used that same with to make a Halloween Chop of my niece.

I like it too.

Good work. Congrats lchappell.

Oh forgot to congratulate you on this. Good chop and a good "spin" on the original.

Very nice.

Elite work. The only flaw i see is he has hair on his teeth.

Good chop. The front where the fish and the witch are, looks dark, while the background looks light. Maybe darken the background some to make them match or lighten the foreground?

Also I bent the wood part of the mushroom and did this to the flying witch's legs. Maybe you will like it?

Maybe use the grass brush, #134, to blend the roots into the ground.

HAHA!! Was checking out some old chops. This one made me laugh out loud and I sounded like a horse. Good times. These are the good old days!!

How to Cut Out ANYTHING in Photoshop (10 Tips and Tricks for Making Difficult Selections and Masks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6off4PVn8E

There are some really good methods for extracting stuff from the background. Channel Masking is really good and adding "Calculations" to that can make your life easier. With these methods you will find yourself not always relying on traditional methods of cutting things out. Sometimes it can take you an hour to cut something out, and using these methods it can be extracted in a minute or so.

I made a small sample of her hair from your source image. Took me 10 seconds. Fairly busy or I woulda done the rest. This is on a 50% Greay background https://i.imgur.com/DmzChuo.jpg

Beautiful work. No flaws, and I looked hard.

The tutorial used Cinema 4D. did you use that or do the text in Photoshop?

Actually a pretty slick Chop. I like how you opened up the roof. Pretty imaginative.

The breast on the left seems a bit to low (on our screen). Other than that, it's pretty creepy. Did you mean to make it kinda blurry like that?

I'd follow her around too.

Planet of the Apes.

When you wish upon a star
Your dreams will take you very far
But when you wish upon a dream
Life ain't always what it seems
What'd you see on a night so clear
In the sky so very dear
You're a shining star
No matter who you are
Shining bright to see
What you could truly be

-Earth Wind and Fire

Man she has a lot of hair.

Nice job. No planet and/or moon?

Great work. Very nice source images. It may be a little dark or that could be my eyes or room lighting. Perhaps it's just the bottom left that's too dark and maybe one more white cloud in the sky. Also try to do the light a little better on the lantern. Man it looks so good in full res.

We are Photshoppers. We have the eyes of an eagle.

Good job although that tutorial seemed incomplete. In the final image of the tutorial, it has some sort of lens type flare, a glow around the planet, and some pretty hard highlight brushing.

Looks like Adam and Eve.

There are some hard lines on the wolf's ears. Also the man's ear is showing on the left with a hard line above that too. On your mask, use a soft black brush with a lower opacity. Anywhere from 20-50% should work, but use your judgement. You will have to go over it a few times and this should blend it in fairly seamlessly.

Nice chop. The boy and girl monkey in the front are very nice. The man's hair is fantastic! Maybe the girl's eyes are too dark? The boy monkey in the back, his hood is smudged. Here is a pic to show you.

Nice job Zizounai.The waving man was perfect. So hard to find images that fit in so nice like that one.

TY skyangel. I really liked this chop. Thought you did a great job on it. Good use of source and externals.

Congrats Z.

Congrats buzzy.

Nice composite.

YW. Very nice. Image is now more consistent. Looks so real I hope people don't vote low because they can't tell that almost everything is Photoshopped. (if you know what I mean)

Looks like a nice and cozy place.

I like it. Work on the floor perspective just a bit. I know you have done some perspective work on it, but it needs more IMO.

Real nice work.

Very nice composite. All the people are blended well as far as lighting and color (temperature). I like how you made the source into a stone statue as well as the paintings. Impressive work I must say .

Couple suggestions. The 3 girls on the bench have reflections on the floor, whereas the statue/pedestal, and the three people standing do not. Also the standing people may have too much floor shadow as compared to the 3 that are sitting.

Aww you deleted your double post. Now no one will know why I said that.

Is there an echo in here?

After the contest and I find out who you are, I will remember when you call my chops "horrible" that it means they are good. haha.
