u never descript which is not fun at all

so cute... well made

A different background would have helped but overall, it's a great use of imagination. GL!.

Too dark, it's hard to see the entire creature, making it look flat.

great job author

Better! GL!

I know bats are very soft and tender ones...This guy is a cute one as well.GL

I know which banana I want!

Very Nice Idea

Cute one! Like a little bat.

agrees about the paper dolls comment. It looks kind of like a collage because they all have hard edges.

A little dark for me but very cute

author.. I get the concept, but you might want to research Josephine Baker and her famous "Banana Dance" to get a better grip on the "skirt" placement... as it stands.. it kinda looks like the banana's are paper dolled on... good luck.. and as always, this is just IMHO.. others will be along to help

Looking good!

Truly fascinating image. I love the fact that you have put the fire under water! Very unusual and different concept. Your lighting one the stair is great and the removal of the snow is very well done.

Not sure how those plants were painted, from the SBS, but not a bad image.

I really love it

GREAT concept. But the white scribbly thing is distracting and confusing.
I'd suggest making the bubbles a bit more prominent, fixing the noticeable lean in the frontmost column, and making the sea growth more consistent. Either get rid of a lot at the bottom, or add more to the rest. Also flip the flames of the LH urn behind the large one in front, and brighten the flames where needed so you don't have a couple really intense, and the rest looking washed out.

This has the potential to be a very powerful image, you just need to tighten up the execution a bit.

No outside sources used? You haven't linked to any....

Great image author
I`m really not sure how your sbs has managed to avoid the rules though, as this forum thread shows, http://www.pxleyes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2399
Maybe theres a loophole the rest of us dont know about , Good luck & again great image

nice to see this 1 is back

Thanks author, that's helpful indeed.

Somehow, this eye looks sad, but still quite beautiful work. Great talent, author!

Magnificent talent

Top Shelf work indeed

Awesome, makes me weepy.

Is that Megan Fox? And no, I'm not obsessed!!
You could add a few words in the SBS on how you do it ( for newbies like me), smudge, or soft eraser with blur on shadows - stuff like that.

What can I say? Everybody said everything what could be said... It's perfect, amazing... colors are very convincent, and the eye looks like a real one. GL!

Beautiful.... Just Beautiful..,

Yes... this is perfection..., My only nitpik is the shading/lighting on the upper eye lid., you need have a look at it again.., Great job.... high marks

This entry is a good character builder for me, because I'm trying very, very hard right now not to be jealous of your talent. This is beautiful.

I agree with layerstack !!

LOVE the glossy eyes!!! The lashes are amazing!!! Good job author!

excellent!!!
