A question: How do you make your work look like it is NOT PASTED ON. When I do PS my stuff looks pasted on. Thanks

Sigh, I have just spent the last 10 minutes reading and thinking about your SBS, simply mind-boggling and the end result is just incredible. I have recently been educated by a master chop and photoshop manipulator on some of the finer things to look for when reviewing work on this side of pxyleyes. Your shadows are realistic, your blending is splendid your SBS is educational and dear author, you get high points from me. THANK YOU for being here.

Great, love his face!

Congrats Brah

Congratulations....

Congratulations BWR

Congrats!

strange observation "she doesnt seem like she is underwater", while there are octupuses and jelly fish around her.

Great job with the fabric.

I was going to say the same... Put a layer effect on top of the maiden... try different effects... will work.. it is a nice image...

It does not look like "she" is under water.

Congratulations. A well deserved win.

Congrats Brother B!

Can you do that? Make a tutorial? Where can we watch it....let me know PHULEEZE?

Just that.... very good... congratulations...

Thank you for that...I''m going to research out the pen tool because I rarely use it.

I read your SBS and to a newbie this is really educational. How do you cut out the pieces so precisely? ..Do you use the pen tool? I have to tell you that after viewing KILL, and BANG and explosions and more explosions and fire..... to have come upon your little scooter, peaceful in blue, nice reflections, cool blue to calm the heat of BANG BANG BANG was simply a joy for my eyes. This, to me, is top notch work. I love it.

so perfect !

Congrats!

Lovely, though my butt's to big!

Excellent work.

Superb.

Congrats....

Congratulations.... good job

Congratulation mate!

Oh it was you!
Congrats !

Congrats BW

WOOT!

Play with the levels and curves maybe.

It should sell well.....naw, I usually say "crap".

Nice changes, especially those cables/ropes holding the balloons.

I read you SBS....HOLY CRACKERJACKS you need to get paid! HELLO ADMINSTRATION ! ! !

Thank you so much for being here, you are another great teacher.

I really like the surreal dream like quality to this chop and I'm not so sure about shading because without it the end result is otherworldly. It is only an opinion on my part.

This is a well put together chop, lots of imagination and work put into it. Be that as it may, there is something about the shadows bothering me. Specifically the tones and consistency. It seems to me that those gun turrets, the ropes from the balloons, and the side of the ship need some shading. Also, I'd think there would be some shadows cast onto the fog from the different elements in the scene.
I like the mood you're trying to set, a few tweaks would bring it over the top IMHO.
Good luck.

Congratulations BWR. A well deserved win with a very unique entry.

thanks a lot ! 100 % agree with you

hahahahaha !

Congrats BWR, he's scary

Amazing.Love it.

Cuter than cute

Congrats !!

Great work. Very nice color blending and matching.
A small nit pick for improvement... There is just a small green smudge on the top right and a small purple spot in the hairline just above the nose which need to be fixed unless you particularly want them that color?

There's something very fishy about this...
