Author, just blur a few hard and/or jagged edges and you'll have a better image. GL.

Author, I gave my honest assessment of the work before knowing who made it. My comment was strictly on the work, and not a personal attack. I will not presume to speak for Pearlie, but she obviously agrees with me judging from her comment. Maybe you should stop relying on 3D software that does things for you, and pre-posed & pre-lit & pre-costumed DA pics, and get some talent yourself.

Nicely done, author...good color, good blend!

This is mostly 3D software and someone else's work from DA. As Pearlie said, this is supposed to be a Photoshop contest...it's bad enough that Poser is allowed.

Gee, thanks for asking!

Font in center is pixelated...

Tire poportions & perspective are off...

Author, the contest is clearly titled Armored Animals...where's the armor?

Aside from the perspective on the green balloon, it's a nice job!

Sky's too dark, otherwise a good image...

Nice job...gotta love the Viking!

Good mood & dramatic pose...nice work!

Nicely done! ( I might have wanted a bit more color contrast between the figures & wall, but it's good work.).

So I'm supposed to let people get away with stuff? LOL...the rules are there for everyone. Maybe if your entry was actually on theme nobody would get all "negative" on you...

Allow me to reiterate: There is a clear shadow of an M16 here, which did not exist at the time of Normandy, and the type placement would be better suited to the empty space at top of image. As for the remainder of your diatribe, it's referring to my comment about your image before you chose to alter it and change your comments from private to public.

Stop effing around & credit your sources or remove them. Even if you do, the M16 doesn't belong at Normandy

Should have had first.

A lot of cr@p, all right.

Perspective on exhaust flames is wrong. SBS would actually get a decent vote...

You won thanks to Poser, not to talent.

Congrats! Sweet pic, you deserved better.

Congrats!

Congrats, great job!

Oops, didn't look, sorry! Still like your pic...

Foreground could have a lighter gradient to make it different from the shadowed area of the hill, and the top edge of the hill is too smooth. Good thinking on the overall idea.

Thought it was you...

Nice job...also post the source for the metal texture, and good luck.

Use the pen tool or lasso tool to extract the snake head...dunno what you did here, but it's not good...

Good save...looks better.

If you're satisfied with the sky, at least remove the shadow.

Shadow is opposite light source, red sky looks strange...

Source 3 is ©

Ooooh, oooh! I typed "SWEAR WORDS"? Holy shit, that's really horrible! Maybe you should improve your lame work instead of whining about the comments you get.

Yep, what lchappell said.

Extra points for humor...nice job! (Post source for background pic...if it's yours, post the uncut pic in SBS).

Where's the armor?

Where's the armor?

Smudge work should have been done with a finer brush, it's too obvious...but still a good idea. (Dog Soldier might have been a better title...).

Good one! My only nitpick is the edges & corners of the floating bricks are too sharp. GL.

Then show that in a SBS.

Absolutely no sign of the source image.

Gol durn, Clem, the old homestead's a-freezin' right up!

Ellipses in glass & bottle should be the same, but good idea...

I don't see any face slimming...

Pump up the contrast. (SBS would be good, too).

Source is unrecognizable, but it's a pretty picture.

Seems like the bulb shadows would have to be removed, but nice job...

Looks good except for the reflection...

Ears look more like horns, I don't think Navi wore sweatshirts...
