Clever, clean, witty and funny. Very good work. I always find empty backgrounds a fail or at least boring, but in this case I can almost forgive you. It WOULD be even better with a background I'm sure, but it's awesome anyways.

Art is not for a lazy person they say. You can try to find some nice flower or other ornament to hide the missing fingers if you can't fix them. She's holding some strange decorative stuff anyways, so it would fit the theme.

Now it looks like some of the mask on his head is hiding some of the tree, like there's almost a square shaped clean space around his head. Fix that and it's awesome. Very good work otherwise.

Great work, but I would get rid off the 4 axis theme and only show that main face with some flowers on the background. It's a great face by itself, especially the main vertical line distracts its a lot. Very good work with the source, love the leaf part of the face and eyebrow especially.

From this pov the perspective of your roof is wrong. You should hide the edges of the middle pyramid from the left side and skew the whole thing a little. You could also give your hallway and ground below it a slight shadow.

Nice colours, and I like the halo effect.

Looks good on high resolution too now - a lot better. There is still one minor problem with the mask of the firewoman's hair, right above the hairline. You should smoothen and hide that straight line and her awesome hair looks even better. (I'm sure I'm not the only one who digs her hair..)

Looks much better now.

Use the wall lines to fix your member sign into correct perspective. I would also scale down the women just a little bit. You can't really know the actual floor level here, but if you make them stand on the water, their heads are pretty high near the roof.

You should definitely zoom into the board and show more of the houses..

Quite interesting.. you should crop the image where the ice-man ends, so it doesn't look like a failed mask edge. And you should anyways soften some of those huge brush edges on the mask, especially on the icemans top and under his straightened leg. Cool composition.

Looks a bit dull, like you just started and then let it go.. you could add some extra buildings and textures (or some sort of rocket/lander/w'ever) to make it a little more interesting. Maybe some huge moon boulders/rocks and shadows for the background too?

I wonder how you managed to get a clean cut of the woman but the couch is pretty terrible. Fix the right side masking and darken/fringe/fix the legs too.

I don't think the dress should show through where her legs are (at least not the floor texture).

Nice colours and composition.

Clever idea, but work with the details. Her left hand fingers are cut off and the masking below the hem (upper legs) has a problem too. Also the outline of the dress (especially right side) is a bit odd. You could try warp tool to manipulate it a little bit more. Clean the edges and your masks and give the pale woman some colour on her skin. The dress'es lower part could be a bit more thinner and just a little bit longer.. now she looks a bit fat

Very good idea, work some more with it and you can make a good one.

Nice picture. A few pretty harsh mask edges on the foreground, but overall quite nice. Good colours.

A Good chop. I like the washed out colours and the texture on your secret friend here.

A good try. The wings should look more like its tale,not that blurry. Head/body/tale looks nice, the rest needs some more work. Should think about the background a bit more as well, I'm having a hard time figuring it out the way it is.

I would try satin effect, inner shadow or something else instead of that glow effect. But a very nice alien design. Would love to see the family's house behind too ,-)

It's a BIG packet of frosties there - and the 80's woman is quite amazon-giant quality as well. You should work with the perspective a little and a bit more opaque shadow will do just one. Extra points for shamelessly chauvinist joke, which I of course like .. err.. I mean.. condemn strongly!

(Dunno if you chose that terrific 90's webpage design colour of the wall intentionally, but.. surely blinds my eyes)

Gonna check out later before voting.

I don't mind really the light (source) being a bit 'magical', it's a fantasy image anyways. Looks good and there is no major flaw anyways. The dog could maybe use a bit of that pointillism filter to blend it in with the guy and the background a bit better.

A good chop, very good mood and colors.

A minor mask error/edge can be seen on the left side of the foreground building's roof, should fix that. Also a few rocks and roofs which could use a burn tool or something to hide a bit too bright edge.

I'm not sure about the very bright white light behind the wire windows, but overall this is very nice, clean and harmonic. I like the small windows and rock towers. Good job here.

A small problem with the ceiling coloring next to the lamps on the background, should fix that. Same thing with the end of your canal, it's blurry, you should make a clean edge there. With the first lamp, darken the edge between the lamp cover and the frame. It's now white and looks a bit weird.

Kudos for not duplicating all the flames. You could add some nice reflection of the fires on the water or on the pillars. And maybe give its some yellow/reddish ambient light colour. Also check the masking for the water on the back, it covers some of the canal edges.

Gonna postpone my vote if you decide to update, nice concept here with a bit more work.

Excellent idea, superb quality image and even a pretty good SBS .. Very nice work here, the final image is just awesome.

Extra 10% for the idea. Very good execution too, simple and elegant.

Crap**ing copy paste. Sorry for the title comment, it wasn't meant for your entry.

Very cool design here, the very blurry sky is only thing I'm not very happy with. But it's a matter of taste, very nice anyways.

Nice work, but you should definitely keep it anonymous.. change the title.

Trippy and nice. That horn -like thingy on the headband could use some sort of inner shadow or similar to make it appear more 3d and round. Also the horizon could use some more work, that black and gray edge isn't too nice for the idea.

Very cool design, gonna vote later if you decide to tweak it a little.

Nice first work, welcome aboard

A very clever design. You should get rid of the light seal edge showing through, especially on the left edge of the bag. Left side/front is also quite blurry, it's like a picture taken with a camera that is out of focus. It could use a background also, white is always so.. boring.. Anyways, love your idea..

Not bad. You could work a little bit more with the eyebrows. I'm not sure if you left the mouth sealed on purpose, would be maybe cool to show a little bit of teeth or lips also? I like the coloring, if you could only make those eyes a little bit more sharp and focused.

It's a lot better already. For the biggest 'hole' in there you should mask the left edge better. If the weave/ribbon is broken, just copy paste a new solid ribbon for the edge part and mask it carefully to blend in. Some more contrast (and a bit darker background stars) and maybe an overall inner shadow for the whole globe with quite large choke and size to make it even more 3D .. it doesn't have to be a strong shadow, but quite big. Also check the masking for the leftmost waterfall. Either hide the left edge or make sure the water falls from the 'hole', like with the rest of the picture.

I'm glad you're working on this, already so much better.

The ppl and car are HUGE apparently. I would also rotate the house (or road) a little bit to make it line up with the road, now one corner is practically on the road.

The idea is so much better than the execution. The masking of the earth showing under the cover is actually very sloppy. I would actually add some more contrast to the earth below.. andmake some light shadow to the 'holes' to give some depth. Anyways, the overall masking needs a lot of more work.

Gonna vote later, if you decide to work on this.

The ceiling looks weird, not to talk about those lamps which show through. Very nice idea, but you need to work with the details. The perspective of the crumbling floor is also a bit weird. Also there is a strange black artifact on the picture, upper right corner? I vote later if you decide to work with the details.

Very nice. Love the swimmers in the background and his expression. Good work here.

I would add some more contrast on the blue fur and on the eyes.. and also, as CMYK already said.. the arrow doesn't even try to blend..

You could find a better shelve for your bowls.. give them a slight shadow and maybe use hue/saturation or color mixer / similar tool to give them some variations. Nice idea, just give it some more work and effort..

I'm still very much against the speech bubbles, unless it's a cartoonish image.. Funny idea, the blend for the gnome could be a bit better thou.

Looks very much out of focus -kind of stuff now.. especially the feathers. You could alter the background to be more fantasy like. Also you could check the shadow and lightning for your alteration.

C'moon now, don't be lazy with the background!

Good work with the frame. Nice thinking with the watering jug too

Good work here. Don't really like the green/blue reflections, but clean job and good use with the source. Once again missing an interesting background, it wouldn't 'eat out' this kind of nice image..

Better than the first one, but could have used more warping tool etc. to make the dress fit the body better. Good improvement anyways.

OmG, I actually laughed out loud instantly seeing this.. so clever and witty.. I must give some extra % for the hilarious idea. I would have chosen more crisp and clea background, or at least replaced the sky with something with less noise. As the "Godly halo"(tm) comes from behind, he could cast the shadow in front. Good job..

Yeah, have to agree that your painting and the source/rest of the image don't blend very well. The source looks just blurry and noisy now, you could try to keep some clarity on the source even if filtered. Your Pinocchio is awesome btw.. gonna check this out later for voting.

Still a little twisted. The double light source explains the bright spots under the cushion too. I still think the side further away should be a little smaller from this viewpoint, but it's quite good. Would fit good to some background source with an old, dusty room or something. High points from me for the idea and effort..

It's definitely better now. I know for a beginner it takes time to make a good picture, but also if you wish to succeed, you need to be creative as well as to work hard. I'm glad you took the effort to alter it o/

Outstanding work with this concept. Looks so clean, it could be a high quality 3D rendered image. I was thinking about giving it a gentle inner shadow or someting to make it appear even more 3D.. but could/would just ruin it probably. Welcome here.

Good job with such a simple and elegant idea.

Indeed. Better source for the girl, I'm quite sure you can find a LOT of (semi-naked), high resolution images about GIRLS.. for a free usage even. The internet is such a wonderful place .. Creative idea with the dress, could use more warping and also you should merge the whole dress before adding the shadow/lightning effects for the shape.. to make it more 3D.
