There are dark horizontal stripes running across the bust - almost like he's standing in front of a window blind. Was this intentional?

Great entry author, GL!

Fantastic render, very cool

Hey man, nice techniques with The Real Flow. Or it isn't RF at all?

No offense, but maybe people couldn't really understand your situations with the written SBS. I know it's Maya just by the render looks. But some people might need to know what's going on in the process, though some will not need or care to see.

Anyway, 5 stars for your effort on written SBS & high votes to your entry as well.

nice idea author and also it IS a nice explosion of drips IMHO
Keep up a good work!

The paint pieces are very sharp edged, there are no rounded drops or spatters at all. Perhaps you could round some of the bits, making it look more like a Pollock coming off the wall. This kind of looks like an explosion of shrapnel instead of drips.

Great entry, simple but effective, IMHO the floor can should be closer to its original frame. GL!

Nice image, GL!

This doesn't immediately make me think of 'envy'...but I do like the image you've created very much. It makes me think of a good shower!

EDIT: Thanks for your clarification, author! I feel educated now!

Even thought the outcome is pretty nice, maybe you could've added some other effects like dried blood over her cheeks, to add some more dramatic look to the picture and to manipulate the source a bit more it's a great idea you have there

I think her face is a little too light compared tot he rest of the body, great blending and idea.

Disturbing! but that is good, lol, nice entry author!

Great Image! your Facial Xpression shows pain but your soft and clean skin demostrates lack of injury. thats just my opinion. But the overall image is awesome!

Now thats cool. Good luck with this work I think it will do well. I like the mud splatters particularly. If I could complain, its just that I like to see a nice long SBS with enough detail that I could follow along if I wanted to. Great work.

looking much better now....great job ..good luck

cool!

Fantastic work on a Mini...

You have INTERNET, why would you need anything else !?
Use another layer with some gradient to cover the horizon. You could also blur the sand there, and make it look like the sand is blending into the sky.
Take for example this:
www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-picture/4d31871c335dc/The-Passage-of-Time.html

You know the horizon is there, but you can't see a straight separation line, which does not hurt the composition by making the image look split in half .

Nice work, but the shadows doesn't seem to fit with the lighting.

great job

Hello from the outside world, it is very nice and sunny out and I must say you have done a great job with the mini. I think your ground is a bit off, perspective wise but best of luck.
Hope you get out soon.

congartulations!!!...

It looks like the water is really hot and it's smoke coming out of it.
I don't know why i get this feeling Great job !

nice,gl

Author, so may very well be. That's up to the contest mod to decide. Not me, you or Wlado. Nevertheless, it's hard to give a fair vote exo planet contest when the only trace of the planet is planar polygon with an unknown image (no source) on it.

So, I do wish you good luck. It's a nice image. But I'll rather throw my vote on the other great entries, with detailed SBS and a modeled planet.

First of all it doesn't seem to fit the contest theme. It doesn't show very much of your "exo planet" (see the "part of the landscape" in contest goal). The planet doesn't seem to be 3D - it looks more like an image (so far without a source) pasted on a planar polygon, with some nice towers and creatures.

Also, about your SBS, it's impossible to tell whether you've modeled the flying creatures, background planet and the clouds. I think you'll have to do some "on theme"-adjustment.

Wow, this is truly epic! Very good idea, I like it!

A high res would have been nice but it does look rather well done.

Nice lighting, really keeps the focus on the ball of light - which looks really cool btw.

Fantastic work Author. Choice of image I give you 90% Nice tricky changes, Very well done.

I like your thinking differently. Simple but very elegant and I like the darkening you did on the hands.

Why didn't you just replace the entry you previously entered, since they are both the same.

really liked the "how many changes can u spot" sign, i could 15 ... lower pic is a bit lighter, that once in a while made me like ... oh here is the next difference ... ) thanks for the entyr, it is cool

wow

nice

Agree with the crop idea.

good

maybe if you cropped down the image, you would get more impact with the flies, without detracting from the image as a whole. As much as i like the panoramic framing, you could easily remove the left 1/4 of the image and that would push the two flies into the foreground (closest objects to the camera)

i agree with the above comments, but still wanted to say... fricken funny as though

Hard to see 'em, even in high res...
