Rut Roh! Poor girl. hehehe.. good luck author, fun chop

EEEP! It's the END of the WORLD!!!! Yipe Yipe Yipe Yipe neat thinking

Something I do to ground an object. You open a layer behind the item (blank) draw a disk where the shadow would be underneath it (marque tool) You see them all the time when a car tire is against the ground. You fill the oval with black and then Gauss blur it to create a grounding shadow. I'm sure I'm doing it wrong, it works for me. It's not the actual shadow of the item, it's a dark spot that is JUST around the very edge of object where it meets the ground.. thusly it "Grounds" the object so it's not floaty. Oh I'm explaining it all wrong, but you can ask Spaceranger.. he's an ace at that kind of stuff.. he's always drawing wonderful characters that have wonderful grounding shadows. Look at his profile to see how he does it. If you use drop shadow it ends up looking like the item is just levitating off the page, not a bad thing, but that doesn't seem to be the goal here. I wish I was better at photoshop but I really have no idea what I'm doing... hehehe I just make things.. that's about it.

A second coat? Better just sand blast the wall and start from scratch. hehehe.. really great job author.. good luck!

Wonderful first chop author.. and welcome to pxleyes. This is a great subject and you created a very readable image. I suggest you experiment with the burn tool on the base of the bunny and girl to ground them better. At the moment they look a tad bit cut out which causes them to "Float" off the page. This can be remedied by experimenting with gaussian blurred black disks placed underneath them added with the burn effect. Experiment with the settings and see what works best.
Good luck and once again.. Welcome to Pxleyes. Look forward to seeing more of your work

Much better author, much more believable

Very sweet

Congrats on third.. great job

BURP! Now where's mine?.. and I want a cute umbrella in mine hehehe Good luck author

Excellent!!! and awesome thinking. An HDR filter on the crows face might be helpful making it more readable. I can see it okay in high res, but a little more OOMPH might help. Good luck author.. great work!

You know they fed one of those to the Queen once.. they called it Cuy I think.. hehehe... I just couldn't eat a cuddly rat .. hehehe

HEY! hehehe (side ways wink) hehehe

Neat creation author and I can see what you were trying to do here. I'm not sure if the light is working in the faucet mouth. I think if you experiment with brightening the "upside down" tower head by placing a bright ball behind it, it might give it more of a light feel. (Experiment with blending filters. With only two days left in the contest it might be difficult to change (it's fine the way it is) but I think a little more work might give it more "real" feel.. if you know what I mean. Good luck no matter what

Great move retaining the full source in the background, excellent thinking.. and really great job.. Good Luck.

He's so CuuuUUuuuUUUUuUUUTE!!!! Great job

Make the dragonfly bigger... I thought he was a cymbal hehehehe Great job

Author, just go to your profile, then to My Entries and click the SBS button and there will be an "Add Step" Button. Upload the Raw picture there. (Also, when using STROKE be careful to check for debris around the islands, they get little round dots from not being erased, it will help to make your creation more refined and precised, and in map making that is very important). Great job and this is just lovely. Good Luck.

AWE..so sweet.

Who? Who? Who? Who?

really neat textures and bending Just be aware when drop shadows/burn hits the blurred background... but that could be what you wanted, it just causes a floating effect..not a big whoop but it makes it more illustrative (South Park) than a photo.. GREAT JOB!!!

awe....sniffle.. fun job getting rid of the scarring

Congrats!

Congrats.. WOOT!

hehehe.. NOT something you would want to wake up to if you were staying on the 5th floor hehehe... The hotel staff would be crushed.. hehehe.. neat idea .. good luck author

Author, while I'm all for the abstract, something you see in almost every bank in America, but what you've done is completely obliterate the source and created something where You can't see the source at all. I'm sure a mod will contact you and explain. It's great to see the effort, but for this contest, you might need to rethink it.

Great thinking and I LOVE the chain pull.. not the one at my house, I can never find it and end up feeling around the furniture to get to the next room. Lighting is amazing as well.. great JOB!

Very Harry Potter via Asia

Shocking.. yes he is a "Real" artist.. hehehe.. I remembered the name from one of the million magazines I came across in the waiting rooms at the doctors. Don't ask me which one, I've been in an out of the hospital so much in the last two years it would be hard for me to figure out which waiting room I was in. For a split second I thought this was one of his pieces Great job and good luck.

Head slap! It was just the saturation wasn't equalized. IT'S A ZILLION times better now. I always keep my saturation at full tilt because I can't see very good so of course I couldn't figure it out (I only figure it out playing with levels and when I see improvement I stop). It's much more stable now and you got rid of the "Floaty" feel.. Great job and good luck!

Slushy one? I don't do that anymore. I got tired of waking up on a futon in a room full of strangers.. giggle snort

Yippee! All "Legal" now... good job author

Fun image author. Do you think it could be improved by doing something that would pull it all together? It feels a bit choppy. Not a bad thing, but it just seems that the characters are floating off the image. You did an INCREDIBLE job with the lighting and blurring, but it still feels choppy. I'm thinking of an equalizing filter over the whole thing or maybe a overlay with a soft texture? IT'S ONLY A SUGGESTION, this is great as is, but I'm just thinking of the overall feel. Good Luck!!!

CALL THE PARENTS! Wash the baby! That's a Destroying Angel! EEEEEKKKKK.. hehehe (sorry, child hood flash back of how much trouble I'd get in if I went anywhere near those little buggers (not the child, the mushroom) hehehe.. great job

Bwhaa haa haa haa haa haaha ahaa... Surf's Up? hehehe

Tang Yau Hoong? (I had to google the spelling). Tag Yo Hoog gets you some very interesting google results.
I always think of him when I see the "Apple" logo on the back of someone's laptop or other digital device. Even though he didn't create it, it always reminds me of him. This entry put me there as well. Good luck author. Very inventive and creative.
