Bravo, bravo!

Lovely choice & execution!

Cut out the letters using pen tool, ctr+t and warp and google tatoo letters photoshop tutorial, you'll learn more.

It`s an interesting shape- you could try making those roses step out of the brick, making the wall yellow (ctrl U) and bring more color in the entry. I would insist on enhancing the roses, since the source has nice colors.

It would be fun having a heart-shaped acorn with a key hole.

Wow! Nice dedication! IMO it would be hotter to arrange the binary code in the shape of a heart, or something obviously related to love It will have more impact.

Trigger happy! Congrats.

Good one.

Start by copying photos and tracing the perspective lines on top. If you do that a couple of time, you'll get how it works.

There are 2 laws of making a good drawing: perspective & values. That means horizon&light. I say this here, hoping your competitors read too : the first line in any drawing must be the horizon line, the second one must be direction of the light.
Besides that:
Rubjerg Knude! Thanks for sharing, i really like that lighthouse now. You could invest a bit more in details, cause the tower had some nice architecture. Also making texture in drawing it's pretty tough, but i'm sure wonderful things can be achieved by patience.
Keep at it, you'll always find solace in art

Remarkable, Extraordinary, Phenomenal! Fragmenting the chest more, might have increased the metal-feathers effect. Top one, regardless.

Totally agree with Vinati, this is so original and creative.

The thing is, it's pretty hard to imagine Bob instead of that woman...
No, I meant it's pretty hard to make a rainy image with a person if he/she's not already wet. You have to use plastic wrap, paint water dripping, and even overlay some underwear so that the dress looks transparent. It's pretty risky so we can understand people taking already walked paths.
You should check this though, i find it very realistic:

Nice model & nice presentation.
You said: "I dont really like it when changes are made based on comments" - this site is a place to learn, more than is a place to show off, that's why improvements during the contest are allowed & encouraged .

Nice effect... you could describe the process a bit, like.. overlay + displacement map..for people wanting to learn new stuff.

Very well done, congrats!

Very high score cause I like your colors, values and hair which must have taken some time, glad you changed the face too, it looked disproportioned.
I don't know what's that embryo in a bubble is doing there, cause i think one of those flying jellyfish would be more congruent

Anyways, top work!

Fabulous, well blended fantastic pitoresque mood!

Very well done author! High-score.

You know that if instead of that guy you put a chick ( and it should be fairly easy to do so: change face, a bit of warp, a bit of liquify), no one will observe that the fire is unrealistic
If you then wanna fix the fire, you could try to find a lantern ( like this one : http://www.sxc.hu/photo/500803), and place the fire made out of BG's source in it: it would look more natural, imo.
You have a nice idea and mood here, by the way.

Great job, funny & well done!

Loved the movie! I would have made thermal silhouettes

Ok what was it?

Lovely painting, great stuff! Bravo!

Such a beautiful pic!

Lovely chromatics.

Frikin awesome, i"m in love with those colors!

Different colors manuka would be even more interesting !

This one looks so good!

We only ask for Hi-res to have a better look at your mistakes! MUHAHAHA !
Just kidding author.
Light is coming from above so you should apply highlights & shadows on the body of the dragon considering that.
Imagine the body of the dragon as a torus and it will be easier to shade it, same with his face.
You can use either dodge/burn, or separate clipping layers with white& black to create values - that's my favorite technique.

Great composition, lovely sky. SBS is well done! .

Good chop.

You know you can put a Color Balance layer on top of your lion and reduce the Magenta/Red to make it have the same color as the guy. Make it a clipping mask o the lion's layer.

Joking, it's an ear.

You stuck a flashlight in your nose!

Great pic, it's a footprint.

I think postcards should be colorful & happy Presuming this is one, I would throw in more vibrant colors.

A happy entry, try fixing the persp, the rest works pretty well.

Not bad, is this CS5 ?

So it's Natural Valley ?

Obviosly the brain! Looks like butto.. I mean the Moon landing, to me, but I might be so wrong

You ussually pierce your eyebrow cause you think of yourself as a badboy, lol. So I would clone that metal off. You could add more contrast to the background, likr making the right side red, so the opposites would be more contrasting. And you should try dodging the eyebrow of the blonde guy, since that black looks suspicious. Good luck.

Very nice design!

Just flip the background and don't forget to place the candy where it was.

Oh!! I feel bad now, i had disabled animated content and I was only seeing one photo and some description on top. I thought you were slacking,the SBS is ok - my apologies.

LOL, it's like a Pokemon. Nice design author, but your SBS reminds me of the "How to draw an owl in 2 steps" tutorial:
http://www.funtoxin.com/cosmos/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/23-183639138.jpg

You could at least make a print screen of the psd file.

It's great that you fixed it author, and nice idea with those waves. It might not make sense for some, but it works compositionally and it's pretty original!

Btw, you should thumb up Langstrum for taking the time to help you, he deserves that much . ( it's the yellow hand at the right of the comment section- click on it).
Good luck.

Lol @ Driven's comment. We're here to learn and help others, no one's getting b!tched.
Light is coming from the right so shadows should fall in the left.

Great mood, great BG, great SBS.

Nice hair texture & colors.
