Snow shouldn't be on vertical surfaces...

Fix the window frame, otherwise not bad...

Interesting idea with lots of ragged edges...

Scary banana!

Great image! The shadow should curve around the upper teeth instead of being a straight line...

Lots of work, but seems insubstantial and needs more depth.

Fix the reflection so there's no space at the edges...he's floating right now...

City should be behind the trees...

Love this! Would have been even better if the peace sign was the gun sight! (Not too late to change...).

Nice mood. Too many brushes, not enough source, symmetry doesn't make much sense.

He's not striking back. Doesn't suck, though...good luck.

" Your task is to take a simple or quaint meal (Such as a steak, or a turkey) And make it fight back! "...This is not happening here...

Sorry, I have nothing against this author. I'm just sick and tired of DA images that have been pre-posed and costumed being used for their prefab WOW factor.

Not bad, would be better with a displacement map.

LOL...where would we be without the great folks at DA?

Pretty good effort, just needs some tweaking....

Yet another collage of DA images....(yawn).

LOL...another well deserved first...this is great.

Well deserved win...congrats!

LOL...if he was biting the duck's neck this would be really cool!

These guys are great! Light is from upper left in source pic, so you might want to rethink the shadows...still, high vote from me!

Excellent, except for middle figure's elbows & shadows...good work!

Nice looking image, but I'm confused...it looks like you made the faces yourself, they're too detailed to have been lifted from the Giger piece. If so, what are the sources for the face parts? Would be great to see the SBS for this...

Nicely done!
SBS would be even better....

Great work, and the facial expressions are priceless! (Light source in background is opposite).

A little too much fire & not enough source image...

You should have used a different image outside the window...

IMHO should wrap around the wrist, and not just cut off at base of thumb...creepy looking arm was a good find!

Nicely constructed house, but the lawn needs some care...

Good mood...could use a high res version.

Too much red...the water in step 12 was looking better...

Would be better without the bee, and the climber's shadow needs to match the angle of the vine shadow...

Can't see the vine very well...

@ Downoffthedragon: I said "Seems to me that freedom of choice is a human right...at least for now, in this country." Do you disagree with that? BTW author, I think you have EVERY right to express your opinion in your entry...it's what this contest is about!

Good luck!

I like your idea and the colors, but those are 55 gallon drums, and they should be much bigger...

Link 2 is bad...how did they get out on that rock to make out?

Fur direction needs to conform to body shapes...

There should be feathers on the edges of the face...

Light beam from left window should be pointing left, not right...

Edges need lots of work. Link 1 doesn't lead to snake texture...
EDIT: Link fixed, pic looks way better.

It's flat...maybe you could call it "Scorpion road kill".

The reflection of the mountains is shifted to the left...

Earth source is a previously manipulated image. You should be able to find a better one & resubmit...this is too good an idea to be pulled.

Good idea, but sources 3&4 are previously manipulated images. Check http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/ and http://www.pxleyes.com/guidelines/

I think the shadow would be taller...good image, though.

The idea and color work are good, but the background is very pixelated...did you use the low res version?

Good work, would be better with a high res version...

Nice work, and the addition of the dog is priceless!

Mouth is too small...
