very nice scene author...best of luck

very nice Na'vi girl....good luck

I agree about the brightness of the hand, and the coffee cup it's a bit distorted, but it's a nice idea.

I can't stop looking at the eyes

Try to lower the opacity of the white dots a bit more.

Great Idea. The hand is a little too bright for me, but i like it.

I really like your idea and your approach. IMHO it looks a little too blurry. Good luck.

Your work wouldn't be removed for using them as long as they are clearly linked. I know because I used the same ears in a contest here when I first joined.

And don't be discouraged when something is removed momentarily. At least they give you the chance to fix it and go on.

Well, I actually think the overall effect is good but in terms facial construction it's not naavi... one thing I would like to stress though is that flare type lights in this type of image are a big NO NO!!... LOL...

also you have to remember to put texture back into liquified areas as you're stretching the pixels out...
blending around the hairline is also noticeable but it's a tricky transition to pull off.

but overall, I think it's pretty good

You have plenty of time to improve this entry if you wanted to. I choose not to vote til closer to the end if I believe someone can make vital improvements to their image that will raise their vote.

And here is a tut with a link to the ears I used on my first try at an avatar. I have done a few since the one I entered here and found some new techniques for blending colors and getting more of the avatar look I was going for. http://www.webdesign.org/photoshop/photo-editing/na-vi-avatar-photo-manipulation-exclusive-tutorial.18015.html

Hope that helps.

the perspectives of the pencils and the cup are a bit odd, other than that, Nice image
GL

Both avatars in this contest seem to be lacking the avatar ears and hair styles.

Really nice...

Just suggestion:

White dots is not looking real try to play with layer blending mode, I guess soft light can fix this.

Great idea, love it!

Sweet!

AMAZING!!!!!
