"Stars" look like corn flakes, and wouldn't be visible in front of the clouds. Some white edges need cleaning up on the background spheres and the wreck in foreground. The jagged edges show you selected it with the magic wand tool...the pen tool or lasso tool will give you clean edges. The idea is good...with some tweaks it could be better.

Love the...ummm..."chestal area!"

Much more dramatic now that the rocket is more visible. GL author.

Good idea, nice lighting on the woman.

Too dark to see the rocket...

Please post a link to the texture on the doorway.

Congrats!

Much better color & composition...GL author!

Listen to Spaceranger and you'll have a better image. Here's my 2 cents: Lose the branch on the ground...it looks flat & phony, the resolution is too low, and the color doesn't match the rest of the wood. I'll be looking forward to the improved version.

Please note that it's required to post links to all outside sources used. In the case of NASA pics, the web site is down due to the current government weirdness.

Lots of fun...congrats!

Please post source links.

Please post a link to the lightning brush.

Congrats!

What Alan said...and all the windows are dark.

All fixed, and good luck on a great entry!

If no external source is used an SBS is still required. Easy to understand.
5.3. Use of Personal Images as Source:
If you use your own personal images as a source, link to its online location and proof it's yours. If it's nowhere online, upload the uncut source to your step by step guide, with an explanation that it is your image.

Takes me to the search page: http://www.deviantart.com/resources/stockart/?q=skeleton&order=9&offset=672

The reason for a SBS is to show the intermediate steps.

Author, your original photos need to be posted uncut in a step-by-step guide. (SBS).

LOL...agreed!

Good work, but the link needs to lead directly to the image used.

I'd align the exhaust trail of the foreground rocket with the axis of the body. Right now it's kinda drooping down. Otherwise a fine image.

Looks better now...GL author!

Link 1 doesn\\\'t lead to the image used, and it's a wallpaper.

Good idea. Might have been better to choose higher resolution figures.

Source 1 is copyrighted. You still have time to find a usable source & resubmit.

Link 2 doesn't lead to a hand image, the edges of the figure are horribly pixelated, and your hi res image is low res.

Nice work on the blanket, and the hands look great now!

The seams & joints need highlights & shadows consistent with the light source. Right now you've only done that with a few.

Some edges are choppy, otherwise pretty good.

Please post a source for the blanket, and try to fix the hands...his right one has a hole in it, and they look like they're coming through the blanket, not over it.

Yeah!!

The island photo isn't a usable source. Please read http://www.pxleyes.com/blog/2009/06/how-and-where-to-find-legal-source-images/
The logo is good but I'd make it bigger.

Good image...would be better if the rocket had a pilot.

Gun is a lot blurrier than the source image, type is crooked.

Source 3 is an illustration, and not usable. 5.7. 3D Renders or Illustrations as Source:
Using other people's 3D renders or illustrations (even with permission and no matter in which form they are offered) creates a false impression of your artwork. So 3D renders or illustrations can not be used as sources, unless they are entirely created by yourself. Brushes and clipart can be used, but you need to mention them as a source too.

Congrats!

Looks good. Please keep in mind that entries with a good SBS usually get higher votes.

Great over all, but the bottom curve of the black form bothers me. It seems like the edge should be less opaque, like the rest.

Much better than the movie!

According to the contest description there is no solid surface. Please follow it.

Please read the contest description.

Good idea, but your hi res image is low res...

Congrats!

If you take a small blur brush to the sharp edges on the bird, you'll have a great image. GL author.

Fix the links...only #4 is working. Your hi res image is low res.
