Ditto WSIWYG, but still excellent work!

Good work, but too much green in the final version, especially in the border. IMHO a simple sky gradient in the background & white border would help your image. GL.

The shadows don't seem to be contiguous with a discernable light source judging from the sky image. Interesting surrealism though.

Might help if you gave the figure an outer glow.

Good one...if you showed what made that bite, it would be REALLY freaky!

Great. Love how you achieve a painterly effect.

Wheel perspective is off, wheels have no thickness.

Good idea, nice clean chop! If you can flip the background statue it'll match the light source on the left foreground statue.

Looks better...GL!

Might be better to throw some color behind the dog so you don't have white on white. Otherwise it's a good job.

Try color matching the head for a better result.

Give the pumpkin some thickness.

Good work, good SBS.

Nice work! (SBS could be better...).

Good image, minimal use of the source.

You should have (and still can) upped the contrast in your B/W version to give it more life & definition. Still, it's a good effort.

Clever idea.

Violin is distorted.

Creative idea! Could use a background, though.

Really good colorizing! The back of the chair could use some definition, and the edges of the sweater could be softened, but this is nice work.

Not bad, but what are the other sources? (Smoke & lower flames).
EDIT: Sources added.

From PXL rules & guidelines: "A reference is a photo (no artwork like drawings or paintings) which you use to create an entry. They can either be yours (if so you'll have to post it in the SBS)"

Please post uncut face pic in SBS if it's your own photo.

Not sure if a violin would be the weapon of choice, but good image!

Nice job. A little more shadow on the left side would match the light source.

Soften the hard edges on the figure...otherwise it's a fine image.

LOL author, just find a pic of someone holding a violin and you'll see the correct proportions...it ain't rocket surgery!

Actually, it's too small now.

Original bird pic is a bit OOF, but good composition.

Top part of violin is transparent, part of a sound hole is showing through the woman's hand, violin could be smaller.

Yes, a color match would be better. Good job, though...

Very cool! Good source find, good idea, good manip!!!

Great image! You should be beaten for even thinking of this, but it's good work!

Author, there are 5 fingers showing on the left hand...the thumb would be on the inside & not visible.

Left hand has six fingers. Some explanation in the SBS would be good in addition to just pics.

Why two light sources?

Good lord...

Good one!

Points for laughs!

The monkey needs a shadow, otherwise nicely done.

Like it!

Lookin' good, author!

Pretty funny! Hope it's considered on theme.

Funny! (Horse needs more of a reflection...see bridge reflection). GL!

The aura or whatever it is doesn't work for me, but the concept is great. Good luck!

Badly pixelated.
Edit: (This edit is better...the version I first saw WAS badly pixelated).

Sorry, but it's still distorted...try doing an overlay with the source pic. GL.

Figure is distorted. Hold shift key when resizing.

Jaw-drop...eye pop...SWEET !!

Things are more clear now with the SBS...GL author.
