The upper eyelids and lips are still extremely wrinkled, and around the upper edges of the face there is a very noticeable blurred/unblurred edge where the blending needs some work.

The heron is somewhat blurry compared to all the other elements in the image, and the cattails show no highlights or shadows, making them quite flat looking.

Flipping it horizontally has thrown the composition off. It's now too heavy on the left, especially with the red pulling the eye to that side of the image.
Nice coloring work, but the balance is off.

Boy, his hairline is low enough for him to be a Neanderthal...
His chin is also now too narrow to support a lower jaw with teeth.
Strange looking youth, that's for sure!

If I Could Turn Back Time

MossyB says:

The contest is to draw ASGARD, not Thor, his mother, or the socks they are wearing.
While you can include Thor and his mother's socks, the CONTEST is to draw ASGARD, which you have not done. That makes your entry off-topic.

If the contest were to draw your house, and you drew a picture of you playing ball, with no house in sight, using your argument that you live in the house and it is your ball, it would similarly be off-topic for the contest.

Where's Asgard? The contest is to "draw your entry with your interpretation of Asgard," not draw a picture of Thor and his hammer with some clouds and a lightning bolt...Close, but off - topic for the contest.

The cloning of the stones on the large wall looks too patterned, with a couple really noticeable stripes running across...
The top of the wall with the advertising is too lumpy and blurry. You need to clean up and even that wall top edge...
And the "new" car is too sharp of focus for the rest of the image. If you gave it just the slightest bit of a layer blur, it would better fit into the image.

The gap where "ankles" would be makes this look a bit odd...Perhaps moving the "feet" blocks closer to the legs so that they have at least one point of contact would help.

It would look more cohesive if there were some sort of stage or ground beneath their feet. It loses something with them just "floating" in the black background. Very creative interpretation, though!

The shadow of the swing doesn't match any of the shadows you've added...Two very different light directions. The kids are all different illumination (brightness) levels, too. The woman in the back is way too dark for being in the sun, especially compared to the "brighter" children...

Her left eye is slanted at a strange angle, and the forehead coloring looks like she has a large lump near the center of her forehead, but a good effort!

MossyB says:

The floor grain on the RH side is a wee bit too sharp, and that light reflection a wee bit too bright (the table would show a LARGE light refraction spot if the light source were that bright), but otherwise, this is a beautifully rich and elegant image. VERY nice work!

The blue felt looks very flat. Perhaps a bit of subtle texture would help.
The floor texture is too large (trees and wood floors simply don't come that large...) It makes the pool table look like a plastic toy.

Too bad she has arm atrophy...Her arm are supposed to extend out as well as her legs.
Pity her feet both point the same direction and can't reach the circle, either. She's a poor Vitruvian model all round.

MossyB says:

There needs to be a leg in back, or a balancing foot or wheel underneath. The way the legs are positioned, and the size of the main body mass would have this robot on it's butt in a heartbeat, and it would be unable to move.

The pink blood on the arm doesn't match the orange bloodstains on the floor. consistency counts...

He's a cute robot, shape and joint-wise. Good luck!

New Western Wear

MossyB says:

Surreal or no, the theme is "Floating Island," not "hand holding stuff." Do you know what the word "island" means?
From Mirriam-Webster (http://www.merriam-webster.com/ ):
Definition of ISLAND
1
: a tract of land surrounded by water and smaller than a continent

In this contest, instead of being surrounded by water, the ISLAND is floating, be it in air, space, or ether (the heavens).
A hand is not an island.

No "forgetting" surreal, so much as not buying a poor excuse for it.

Way too heavy on the vignette effect - it's so dark around the edges that you lose a lot of the effect you are going for. It is also so dark that the lighting of the box makes no sense.

Great concept, but the hair and beard have lost all depth, and are just black masses...Maybe you can go in and add some individual hair back, so it doesn't just look like black paint on the photo.

MossyB says:

The closeup shows a distinctive RH tilt on the table...Even allowing for "camera distortion, the slate will still be level with the back of the image. Anyone who's ever bent down to line up a shot will testify to that...

The texturing and color around the table edges is exquisite. Just level the slate.

The colors are a bit too pale contrasted with the dark outline, but this is a great concept! You should have some windows running along the side, and maybe a logo on the tail...

Nymph
avatar MossyB
MossyB says:

The skin tone does not match, it is darker than the face above it (if anything it would be paler, because the hair would prevent exposure to the sun), and there is a light edge running around the bottom of the face that is too smooth to be "leftover" hair.

Shave me!
avatar MossyB
MossyB says:

The color palette is kind of visually jarring, too much green, which is overpowering what should be your focal point, the bottle...The logo on the bottle is too small and blurry looking. The box looks somewhat blurry, as well, with what appears to be a "dent" in the lower RH corner, but does not correspond to the sharp edges.

I'd suggest cropping it down (or making your focal point occupy at least 1/2 of your picture plane), and change the tone of that green, perhaps darkening it at least.

Still too dark overall, particularly too dark around the edges. It doesn't add to the mood, so much as it looks like you are trying to hide possible technical flaws.
