very nice atmosphere... good luck on this one

Love the Hair.. good luck

everything is GREAT!!! really like the floating mountain.. poor guy.. all the broken horns .. very nice image

sweet subtle and elegant

cute angle, love the feet!!!

very well done author.. sbs is excellent as well.. good luck

the resulting pic is quite lovely, I love the fact that a light explosion behind her doesn't take anything away from her sweet expression.. good luck author

thanks for not over doing it... she is very elegant.. good luck (Really didn't have to do much touch up

thumbs up author.. great way to start the contest

LOVE the color pallete.. good luck on this author

very cute.. now get him out of the pool before his fur plugs up the filters LOL

funky image.. the high res is a lot of fun.. good luck author

very crispy.. good luck author.. instead of stroke or outer glow you could try a bevel to give it a little more depth.. GREAT IDEA good luck

I could see adding a background.. when something is hand drawn it's pretty much done as soon as you submit it.. to add shading or textures or shadow is to alter the piece into something else, It's a fun drawing.. and it's not childish is CHILD LIKE..good luck author

EDIT: It is a compliment, a Photograph can be altered but you can still see the original image, a Hand Drawn image becomes something totally different when you change the pencil marks.. just an observation.. (Like if you gave the Daffy duck a different Nose bill, it would immediately change the illustration, but if you give a photo a new nose, you can still see the original picture, one comes from the mind.. the other comes from real life.. old art theory project I had in college about Comic vs Real Life imagery)

EDIT: WHAT A BACKGROUND.. you weren't fooling around making that one.. woke me right up.. excellent add on to an already excellent piece

where's the Rain Stick?.. hehehe.. very leopardy good job

very fun retro.. good luck on this author.. very good work

you really kept her original form ,,, a tad unreal, but I think that's what gives it an edge (I'm so sorry, I thought it was Laura Bush at first glance.. made me EEEEKKKK for a moment)

I know it would be pulled, but it would be hysterical if it was flipping the bird..but that's just me.. nice approach author, but the wrist seam is a bit abrupt... good luck and great idea

Now that's a room to induce a lot of drinking (old bar trick, to get people to drink more you put out red napkins, it works)..a little over boad on the red, a little greenery would be in order.. a few green plants here in there.. and the lamp is not really a floor lamp(needs an end table) it's more horizontal then vertical.. but still very much on theme author good luck (sorry 15 years of decorating condos on the beach good luck

author.. can see why you like that background picture.. it is very awesome, nice take on the source

very cool approach with the source..good lluck author

very interesting approach with this source... good luck!!!.

author.. Are those Fish Bones in the shoreline????.. if they aren't .. they sure should be.. LOL.. and if they were just something you added as an after thought.. they are absolutely brilliant.. I loved the whole piece.. going kitty to kitty, but when I saw the fish bones.. I just had to laugh.. GREAT JOB!!!

AHHHHHH the little one.. I missed the little kitty.. he's staring at the dragon fly LOLOLOL.. WOW

very nice Arrangement Author.. good luck (I'm a sucker for humming birds)

that dog would PARTY in that room LOL.. good luck author.. (I see him pulling those covers all over the place LOLOL)

hehehe.. that old conspiracy theory..hehehe good job

wow.. source overload.. I'm a bit over whelmed.. but then again. that's the whole idea of the contest LOL.. good luck

this is very beautiful.. I'd really work on the SBS though... you are too talented author not to show off your work..and it really helps you get better votes when people can appreciate your work... GOOD LUCK

hehehehehe.. I'm going to get in BIG trouble over this contest.. I can't help but vote high.. I LOVE THIS WORK.. I've been trying but I can't seem to get the hang of it..Just love to see others work here.. it's so amazing

oh author.. good job... hehehe

not offensive in any form I can see.. Unless we have a super prude in the audience... the Idea is subtle and well executed. .the only bad thing is that GOD AWFUL TITLE.. shore 4a4b6e994f97c????.. come on author.. you can do better then that.. Shore Study Nude 1 would be much better.. LOL.. (Just teasing ya.. good luck) Wonderfull form.. though a phallus would not be out of order.. just keep it pg (Don't do it..that would be over the top for this site)

EDIT:oops.. high High HIGH marks for this one.. I would love this in a decor portfolio... great entry way piece for a condo on the beach.. It would knock a clients socks off

(AND A few POKES FOR ORY :poke hehehe

He's WONDERFUL.. I wanna play fetch with him..hehehe... but I'll let my brother retrieve the ball from him LOL

this could be just me..but is there a way to blur the stroke line around him.. it's okay.. but it does make him look cartoonie.. or that could be your goal.. he's just so wonderful, that the line makes him look like an animation.. if that was your goal, then ignore me.. but it would be cool to see what would happen if you soften the sharpness of that stroke line

YES!!! the soften lines makes it more real, (it's the price you pay for HIGH RES.. hehehe. .I probably wouldn't have noticed in regular res, but in high res you can see everything) good job author

Very nice work here... but the front half needs to be a bit bigger to match the back fruit.. if you want the proportions to match

It's BRUCE..hehehe

AH MAN... AUTHOR, THIS IS AWFUL.. YOU CUT AND PASTED SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK.. Thanks to Orient for pointing that out... VERY BAD FORM..

great merge of two contest sources.. good luck author

GREAT ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM.. and your PIC is WONDERFUL!!!... very home grown americana... HIGH MARKS (favorite part is you use your own source... AWESOME)

very well done.. good luck

Clydesdale, Author.. use a Clydesdale..the main reason this doesn't work is not the idea, it's the horse subject..you need a horse with some UMPH.. this horse looks okay but just sorta.. blah.. seriously.. clydesdale (I'd say use an Arabian, but an Arabian Horse wouldn't be caught dead in that back ground ..LOL.. IMHO

I love the flowers and all that stuff.. BUT THE BACK GROUND IS SPLENDIFEROUS..

very neat Idea.. good luck (very different)

ah.. matching the texture of the sculpture to the source.. good job there
