very pretty piece.. back ground is a bit lacking.. not sure how to correct that.. good luck

purdy birdy PEEPS MUST LOOK AT HIGH RES... HIGH RES IS MUCH MUCH BETTER... low res loses some incredible Detail

becareful of the ovoid bubbles.. they cause the mind to react because they are unnatural and cause the eyes to focus on them and ignore the focus.. fix the ovoid bubbles and the magnificence of this piece will be the focus.. not the shape of the bubbles

very nice Spider.. the shadow work is awesome on the left side.. a suggestion, not that it is needed.. the right side light source is very bright (as it should be) but the legs on the right side could use a dash more shading I think.. DON'T DO IT IF YOU DON'T THINK IT NEEDS IT.. it's just in high res it's looking a tad flat, but with a mystical/fantasy piece like this.. it's all up to the authors choice GOOD LUCK

(love the teeth

This is very amazing.. the Chaos of the whole piece is fantatstic.. GOOD LUCK!!! (love all the hand drawn work.. if it didn't have the Happy Birthday sign this would be a wonderful gallery piece.. right now it would be a fantastic Greeting Card.. GOOD LUCK!!!!

really love the piece.. not crazy about the black kicked up sand smoke stuff.. makes it look like they are walking into a fire that is located off stage.. but that could be the effect you wanted.. hehehe.. good luck fun Fun FUN piece... and the detail work is AMAZING

they say.. waaaaaayyyyy ooooo wayYYYYY OOOOOOOOO.. walk liiiike an Egyptian....

EDIT.. WOW..the smoke is gone and now the characters shine shine shine.. all the cops in the doughnut shops say ... repeat chorus

Right on target... super on theme... happy dance happy happy joy joy

Rendered clouds make photo shop peeps itch when you use it ONLY, but if you used RENDERED CLOUDS on one of the bread textures.. you could get and interesting sky that way (Change the hue to blue tones.. etc etc.. or just search out a nicer sky.. good luck author.. and the texture work on the building is really interesting good luck

very nice first entry.. welcome to PXL (the fact that you made the spear out of one of the Loaves of bread is marvelous.. really makes the piece lock together well, using stock is cool too.. (slapping two pieces of stock together often looks like two pieces of stock slapped together but this makes everything match perfectly when you use something from the source and alter it.. EXCELLENT

He really blends into the background.. if that was your goal author then Kudo's, I'm just wondering if you changed his tone a bit.. so He stood out a little more, it could make him pop more

ahhh.. the good old extrude filter. neat effect... I like the silhouette of the dragon.. maybe tuck in his toes in here and there so he looks more ON TOP of the castle, not just in front of it.. and the smoke trails need a bit of work.. they are looking a bit like torn paper..but if that was your goal.. good luck.. very different approach (Shaping the lines around the cut out of the dragon couldn't hurt either... there's some little bobbles here and there)

what a great idea... you might want to add the high res so peeps can see your image better... I really like the concept, but I can't really sea the detail work.. good luck though

really cool Idea.. good luck on this

what LKY said

the collar/bow is sublime.. great work author

the expression really pops..hehehe.. great humor author

that's and itty bitty pigeon good luck author

how the guy can sleep under that much art is beyond me LOL

great visual.. goodluck

ahhhhh.. he's so lonely.. .. very stark .. great use of source

Well now they need a Mommy!!!

hehehehehehe.. this is very on theme author.. I remember when I was a kid we had an ozone day and all the pet rabbits died.. a puncture in the ozone killed all the domestic animals in a tiny area about 100 miles from my house.. scared me to death.. dern fluorocarbons.. nice on theme entry.. CUTE

WEEEEEEEEEEE.. this contest is just getting better and better in all directions..this is SPEC TACK YOU LAR~~~!!!! Love the mood

I really love this piece.. next time author don't make it so good LOL leave the bread texture there and you won't run into the I can't see the SOURCE problem... hehehe.. Your biggest fault is being too good... but with a piece like this.. How can you not want it to look good

tech work is well done

hehehe.. scaly water.. who'd a thunk it ??? just a great twist on the whole Idea

so very much fun.. love the color scheme.. GOOD LUCK

I really love all the subtle people reflection in the piece.. you really don't notice them unless you really look and I think I like that best

I just realized how the color grid you placed in the piece really gives it that night club feeling.. good luck

always wondered how those guys take off..they haven't any running gear.. GREAT IMAGE..good luck

fantastical entry.. you can feel the storm coming..my cat would be going bananas.. hehehe.. very nice use of source.. good luck

I'm trying to find the flatness as well and really don't see it.. ah the eyes of youth.. I think the arrangement is quite wonderful I would say add motion to the flying planes propellers but that is a total personal choice since they are accents and not the focus.. good LUCK AUTHOR

what absolute goofy fun.. and what a nice back ground you chose... good luck on this

very pretty image

dernit.. WHAT HAPPENED.. I really liked this one

cool beans.. great construction.. very professional

just an awesome piece of work.. great work good luck.. the color pallete is into next week and then some.. yowza

very clever.. the warp lines are wonderful

very clever story line

Peculiar and fantastic. good luck on this author

love the 3d effect on the bottom arch thingy.. have no idea what to call it LOL

very great concept.. but check your source with a mod.. good luck.. I SUCK at checking sources..

I'd emboss the feet as well.. they look a little odd against the dimensions of the face.. but still a fun entry. .. good luck

EDIT: THERE YA GO

doing okay in my book.. good luck

strange.. I would have used the 5 pointed flower in your sbs you made right off the bat.. (flowers seldom if ever grow with 4 petals, primrose and genations do, but they taper inward..not outward like a lily.. still, this is quite nice.. good luck (the sandwich effect on the flower is very interesting)

Super HIGH MARKS FOR HUMOR... LOLOLOLOL.. good job.. this really made me giggle.. GOOD LUCK

thumbs up (as good as this is.. I know you are going to be asked to do more of the loaves.. hehehe.. if you got time.. it would be cool if every piece had something missing or the missing pieces were scattered about.. just a thought, it's fine just the way it is.).. good luck and top notch effect

very clever and different.. would have NEVER thought this up.. very good take on the contest.. good luck author

extremely well done and cute.. shadow work is wonderful

the apple makes me think of those jolly rancher candies.. yowch sour sweet to the nth power.. polish this a little and I'm sure this will be an even greater piece.. lots of peeps are rootin for ya !!!

I'm going to take you to
My special place
It's a place no amount of hurt and anger
Can deface
I put things back together there
It all falls right in place--
In my special space
