Looks better already!

I like the effect - I would suggest looking for another source for the hair.. The reflection of the chairs, table and photographer just dont seem to pull it off. Maybe an alternate source for the hair?

Nice work - but if thats the light source why is there shadow on the hands?? Maybe try and colour match out the shadows?

OOHHH very Tim Burton.. Looking at the hi res you have a slight halo effect on the edges especially in darker areas of the background. Nice work.

I gather your talking about gravity?? You need a skydiver or something to help sell it!! Maybe two? One writing a speeding ticket!! Hahaha.

I didnt think we were allowed to directly use the members photo? Has this changed?

Nice and there is some impressive lighting too.. Fractal lava? Ok, I think you need to fill in the gap where the eye 'was' to give the mask a full back so to speak. If you follow me.. You can see it clearer in step 5. There is no need to cut the shape out for the right eye. Just continue your line down..

Lucky its not a pay phone - i would hate to think where you might have to stick the coins..

WILSON!!!

Nice - your bonnet outline on the foreground car looks a touch transparent near the windscreen. There is also a blur along there that effects the rim on the next car back. I would maybe burn the shadow side of the red car also..

Author: try using a displacement map to bring back the shape of the face? Not enough of a chrome look to it as gopan suggests also. More silvers and blues?

Source is a previously photoshopped image. You can still see the original background in the rear quarter window.

I think its a great image - well done - Sadly i dont think it fits the theme..

Match the blur of the image to your sign??

While yes its well done and a nice image.. No one concerned about trademark infringement? You know - the right to use anothers logo without permission?? Regardless of the source.. Very sorry author - nice work too.

I would also suggest bringing some colour back into the image - help us see its the puppy.

Looking in the hi res you can see a lot of the straight edges are left in the image. Maybe blur them a touch.

Its a different source of light for the bone, maybe try and match it to your source some more?

Nice effect

A clever idea - some blur at the top of the blade as mentioned. I would add a very light layer of bread over the taper of the blade to give it some more colour - its very difficult to distinguish from the background.

Clever idea author: but the shadow remains? You could probably use either the ring or little finger and not have the shadow issue. Reminds me of a Stephen King story.. Or Yakuza.. Hahaha.

Very well drawn..

EDIT: figured it was you..

Nice - but i would trim down the wrist some more, more of a taper? IMHO.

Very impressive

EDIT: Why does this not surprise me!!

Great Chop

While not specific to the artwork - i dont get how the front forks attach to the wheel? Doesnt look like it would work to me?? About the image, if your light source is what we are seeing then the shadow is on the wrong side? But I see a wall maybe? and a reflection? If thats the case might shadows be coming forward too?? While on the shadow - it needs to be pushed further back I think?I can see the shadow under the wheels...

Hahaha - maybe not so?? I still see a spot on her arm? Was it always there??? I am going crazy?? Hahaha

Author: firstly you need to some. I looked in your sbs and it looked like a cropped image! I was just trying to keep you clear of the mods as I have seen entries removed for less! By description I was referring to the one on the main page, that the sky is your own image! Not the text in the sbs as a lot of people dont look there!

Nice work - I admit to not seeing the source in there till I looked at the sbs.. corrections as already mentioned.

Well your light source is probably overhead! So a shadow at their feet??

Yes you have made a change or 4!!

You need to show the full unedited image of the sky in your sbs. Maybe also make reference to it in your description?

You seem to have picked up a spot on the arm now? Cannot see the background under her arms too..

Interesting - you bottom blur trail ends short on the yellow one..

Not sure how to go with this - its very similar to another entry already in. Maybe just check with a mod for clarification.? Good work on the permissions.. We should use it as an example for others on how it should be done!!

I like the image and the effort - but I am wondering on the lightsource and the shadow? Would it be on the ground?

Author: if you have a lot to upload you are normally better off ticking the 'publish entries later' box and then it should appear all at once I think. I would like to see your source image for this..

EDIT: link up..

Good rework..

Author: you can go to my contests and edit your source to link it to the right place.. Sounds like a lucky find!

Very creative - I agree with Golem though.. Maybe washout some of the background colour to make the bread stand out more? You have also left some weeds and grass on the timber fence at the bottom, the clone tool should take them out quick enough..

Nice work - I would try and work on the join line in the middle bun. Its just a bit too obvious, maybe match up the grooves and shadows?

Nice skills.. Well Done

Nice - looking at the hi res there is just a touch more work needed on the chin. Also is that a masking remnant in the eye of the mask?

Nice - would like to see a sbs on how you did the background.. Looks interesting.

I like the background work.. Looks good..

Nice but I would soften your edges a bit, especially the shoulder and the elbow. It looks like you also have left the original background in between the arms and the body! Nice work.

Have you got a source image for the sky?? Your sbs does not mention the way you made it?

Hahaha - it was the bangles actually - I have the album.. Author - looking at the hi res you have some really nasty edges, but I suppose thats the way you want it? Maybe a little blur for the last dancer etc? I would try and sharpen your pyramids a bit though?

Nice image - but you have opposing highlights on each hand? See if you can work just one direction?

Hahaha - yes the highlights kill it a bit - funny though.. Good blend to the udder!
