very cute for a first entry.. hehehe.. good luck Author

HEY.. it's the missing female member of KISS.. hehehe.. very nice job author (Post your source on the females face, if it's your own picture place the un altered image in your SBS so this entry won't get pulled..GOOD LUCK)

Let me live 'neath your spell,
Do do that voodoo that you do so well.
For you do something to me
that nobody else could do!

Cole Porter.. hehehe..

GREAT IDEA.. the work is marvelous!!!! good luck author

excellent job.. but I'd do the neck as well and also clean up any debris... VERY GOOD ... and wonderful image choice

Edit.. I think the fix is awesome.. and it's right on them to me.. good luck

great job author... good luck

very simple image.. but that is definately not a bad thing... there are two little things that I can see for improvement.. you need to flip the second cherries LIGHT FLASH REFLECTION...they should match the same angle for continuity.. and the stems need some smoothing (use the clone to make them more smooth) if you burn the unlit side of the stems gently, you'll get an even more 3d effect as well as the leaf.. but the overall Idea and construction is quite nice (everything is IMHO but I offered help because you requested comments

Edit: Much improved..we all start somewhere.. good LUCK!!!

okay author..this is a super duper teeny tiny nit pic.. but it's driving me nuts.. the tube running through her head is off by about 5 DEGREES.. I placed the image in PS and drew parallel lines through the face in line with the sides of the tubes in her head and the one closer to the view is off.. I know it's stupid and petty, but visually it won't let go of my eye.. (and I can't see too well so I KNOW it has to be the image LOL) Like I said.. it's a teeny tiny nit pic.. but it does force the eye (at least my eye) to jump to it constantly (but only in HIGH RES) ... other than that... EXCELLENT IMAGE

hehe. .reminds me of the LAMP in the Christmas Story.. very nice humor element.. good luck on this author.. I really like it (though the surreal is always awesome.. so much free thought involved)

beep boop bip beeeeooOOOOoooOOOOo wooble bip BANG EEE OO EEE OOO. hehehe.. great job author.. I like the back ground a lot.. (super nit pick.. the second vertebrae needs to be rotated about ten degrees CCW if you want the spiral of the neck to look curved.) and ZAPOW.. the Golem is OFF!!!! woo HOO

Okay... when did the hallmark store blowup on Valentine's day?.. Oh just throw it over the top author and add some pink fuzzy animals.. hehehe.. very nice work and great excecution.. I bow to the cuteness.. EXCELLENT

hehehe.. very good work author.. I like the mood .. good luck

EVERLY BROTHERS SONG... BIRD DOG
(CHECK OUT THE SONG PEEPS... it's super cool)
(helping out the author with the lyrics

Johnny is a joker [he's a bird)]
A very funny joker [he's a bird]
But when he jokes my honey [he's a dog]
His jokin' ain't so funny [what a dog]
Johnny is a joker that's a'tryin' to steal my honey [he's a bird dog]

Johnny sings a love song [like a bird]
He sings the sweetest love song [ya ever heard]
But when he sings to my gal [what a howl]
To me he's just a wolf dog [on the prowl]
Johnny wants to fly away and puppy-love my baby [he's a bird dog]

Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog you're on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
Hey, bird dog get away from my chick
Hey, bird dog you better get away quick
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own

Johnny kissed the teacher [he's a bird]
He tiptoed up to reach her [he's a bird]
Well he's the teacher's pet now [he's a dog]
What he wants he's been gettin' now [what a dog]
He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby [he's a bird dog]

Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog you're on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
Hey, bird dog get away from my chick
Hey, bird dog you better get away quick
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own

FADE He's a bird

lots of fun... very well done (though a narration on your SBS would be very helpful)

Edit.. this is SWEET (just couldn't resist..hehehe)

the emptiness of the center really does make the point... AFTER you've read the description.. with the description it works.. with out it.. I thought the was a baby picture frame (sorry) my only suggestion if you changed the espression on the face to look into the dead space with an air of longing that would make the description unnecessary.. but that's just me.. LOL. this is your vision author (I do hear the piece quite well now)

BOTERO would be proud.. high High HIGH marks on this one.. WOOO HOOOO (and I don't woo hoo everyone.. one more) woo hoo ... hehehe(great combination of techniques and styles)

hymn is awesome.. gonna have to wire it into my mainframe to really appreciate it when I get home..hehehehe.. wonderful drawing author.. good luck (listening to the the song and looking at the SBS and image is a TRIP!!!!!)

I like the Hesu's effect.. WOULD LOVE to see the water turning into to WINE, but milk is cool too... very beautiful effect.. good luck author

as I can see everyone demanding the name of the song.. I could also see that your dogs could be your song, I often think that of my cat, though she has a tendency to look at me like I have a screw loose... she's always looking at me and says.. "If only I could get on your head!! (rita rudner)

OMG.. this would even make a super hard liberal giggle... (they're going to take away my ACLU card away from me.. because I would definately have this framed and put in my guest bathroom LOLOLOLOLLOLOL

very nice balance of shape and form author.. the two merging triangles are a risk as they could easily throw you up and out of the picture but the complex base really retrieves you back into the focus of the whole composition.. quite nice.. even though it is very dark.. but that's just me and my eyes (I'm a tad bit addicted to color IMHO

without a step by step it's a bit difficult to guide you.. I can see you burned and dodged.. and I'm pretty sure you texture placement as well.. the only thing I could suggest is to cut reflection strikes with white paint and try to place them where a mirror/metal flash would be and then play with the opacity (the white flash is that shiny thing on a sphere or an eyeball (Like the window shaped thingy on the eyes of the PXL Logo.. it give Objects a shine surface depth.. (You can gradient them as well.. experiment... (I'm okay at them but I AM not an authority by any means.. I'm sure others will have better Ideas.. I'm just voicing what I would do at your request.... good LUCK AUTHOR.. very good work)(sorry, I was so much better at this with oil/acrylic paints LOL, having a back light constantly always screws me up, It's like trying to play piano under water)

hehehe.. great conspiracy theory piece

hand draw is amazing.. excellent work author

Author I hear ya!!! I worked right next to a reservation and those things were everywhere.. you can solve the whole layout deally bopper by just cropping them as if you were zooming in on them.. but only if you want to.. EXCELLENT WORK!!! (though I would put them before after, not after before.. just for the natural travel of the eye.. but that of course is for the left to right reading audience)

EEK!!! Very effective... Wow.. Good luck

Author.. You should really show the process in a STEP BY STEP.. mainly for you it will get you a higher score when peeps can see your work and Secondly.. others would love to learn the method so they can do the same with their photo's.. especially a wedding image.. GOOD LUCK

very elegant ... good luck author (you could get this commissioned into the Fort Lauderdale airport.. they use these to decorate it all the time )

SOLARIS's enthusiasm is infectious..LOL.. very good author..the Irony is spell binding

disturbingly funny.. I don't even wanna KNOW how one would start to make chewing gum meat.. EEEPPP.. very excellent job author

Oh I get it.. Today WE GO...author.. you spelled WE as WHE.. took me a few minutes to figure that out.. might want to fix that (Very hysterical image all round.. good luck)

My GRANDMA.. what big EYEs you have .. very nice image.. good luck on this

wonderful color play.. good luck author (the shapes are so much fun,, I have no Idea why, but it feels like I filled my entire mouth with life savers candy

EDIT: Hey Author, I know I'm annoying, but I do have my moments

very nice use of source.. GOOD LUCK

Author.. great distortion,,, but you may want to lay this exact picture over the original and cut away so the distorted trees would not be apparent in the background.. it would add to the realism (if you distort the back ground with the main subject... it kinda ruins the realism IMHO)

edit: It's okay author.. just thought I suggest it have fun at work

the neck is SOOOOOOO disturbing.. I think that's what makes it so GREAT!!! good luck on this.. very inventive

very pretty, excellent feel, shame it would end up so tiny.. .this needs to be BIG, I'm talking on the side of a Skyscraper big..hehehe

hehehe.. PEEK A BOO Dragon... hehehe.. great Great GREAT Work here
