Good luck author

Very well done!

I want one!!

In this case I think cute works better; we've seen a million ferocious dragons. BTW, good work!

Deleting & resubmitting is what I've always done.

Evolving into a cute dragon? =]]] nice one good luck

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
Now come on, it was released in 2004, that's not THAT long ago. dernit, now I feel like an old goober. hehehe Very steam punk.

Author, the trick I use for making an SBS is getting a View Capture program (Wisdom-soft Screenhunter is one I use and you can download a free functional one, they do have a pay version that is available also.) Just remember when you're building your image, to save it from time to time (PSD form) in progression, after that, the SBS is a snap. Great chop by the way)Really does remind me of the movie . Good Luck!

Pretty funny result, Author! I tend to agree with Skogan, at least for the top right plane (the top left fits better like it's coming from behind a cloud) and I'd put some grain texture over the top right plane too. Ow, before I forget, source 4 is an illustration and I'm afraid it can't be used according to the rules here (eventhough it's offered CC). Is it possible to replace it for a real gun?
Good luck!

Good one, Looks like threre's a lot of work and imagination, I would suggest you to add an sbs to show the transformations

Cool, nice work . Although the plane in the top right and the plane in the top left looks to be partially erased. Maybe you can fix that?

Congrats! Nice work.

Congrats! for your 2d place.

Congrats for the win

Congrats and welcome to this wacky place!

Author, since all entries are anonymous until voting, you are not supposed to reveal your name/signature in your description,sbs or in comments . I would suggest you to edit your comment and remove the name from the last line.
Good Luck

Good one author, salute the patience.. good luck and will look forward for more from you

Congrats on your perseverance, and good luck!

Your sources are all good to go! Congrats for sticking with it! It gets easier after you've done a few entries.

My thanks to my friends and fellow members for being so supportive, you guys prove how good and helpful our community is!

Great fix! (I'll leave the checking of your sources to the Mods, they're really good at that, and I suck at it LOL) Once you get the hang of it you'll be fine. Your masking ability is excellent... I suck at masking if there is a lot of debris hehe. It's all in the learning. Great to see your tenacity. GOOD LUCK and welcome to PXLeyes :_

I am glad you found some sources you can use. It is going to be a while for you to learn and to know who wants to help you, I think every one will give you an idea or an advise here, just ask... we are learning from the work of others. Your entry is full of color, the image looks better now. Think about shadows... I think you can use a shadow, to the right side of the giant. The shadow, will blend the image together. Look at this right side of his head, not much, but a simple shadow, to the right side of the boot took. Also beneath his left leg, there under his but and the bright side of the mushroom where he is sitting, there by his left boot. The rest looks nice....

Well Poop on a Stick author, you've got a real talent and it just seems a shame that you would give up so easily. I can't force you to retry, but I'll tell you, when you use Authorized sources (especially Creative Commons) you end up with a product that is truly yours that can be used in any form of advertisements/art shows etc... when you use copyright, you risk a law suit that will kick you in the butt. Just think about the song Blurred Lines. It really lies within in you to create something that is yours full and clear. While this might seem like just a contest, the site really can't risk copyright infringement, it's just not worth it. Now buck up little camper and retry. Or not. The choice... is yours. (oh lord, I just sounded like Cherlindrea in the Movie "Willow" when she convinces the doubting Peck to take on Queen Bavmorda.) May the Force be with you! (Star Wars, couldn't resist)

Author please do not give up... this is a nice image, you just want to get the right sources... Check www.Morguefile. com ... they have lots of images that you can use. This happen to us in the beginning, we get confused. Listen to those who want to help. Nothing wrong with trying again.. there is enough time. Good luck.

Author, all sources but #3 are copyrighted. When you search for an image on Flickr, at top left under "any license" is a pulldown menu. You need to select one of the licenses that allows modifications. Looking at any image you select, the license description for that image will be at the bottom, lower right.

I know this must be frustrating to you since you've already remade your entry. You can still get it right, and this stuff (Flickr searches & licensing) should be clearly explained in the photoshop contest guidelines. I know Spaceranger has offered his help previously, and you can also PM me for info. And good luck!
