You can merge more pictures into one to diminish the number of steps. If you merge 4 pics in one step you'll get to 12 steps, that's 35 less uploads.

Iron Mask

Really good render & idea. It wouldn't hurt more details aroung the eyes. As you know, gas masks have extra layer around eye holes to protect from infiltrations.

Nice modeling, although I doubt that you need eyebrows for a mechanic mask, the render could improve.

Good render, but it's distracting that they are floating; either strings or scene floor for BG, would have neutralized this effect.

Some texture on it- at least camouflage would have been nice, and rusty metal instead of gold-ish cause it's doom's day as you said it. Except that, nice model.

The shadowcast should match the rolls of hay's cast = longer & darker. It's a nice idea.

Opel Rekord P 2 -1960

greymval says:

Ok, now that I've seen the SBS: the design is Ok, i like it cause of the contrasting elements that compound it. However i think the source could have been used more. For ex: texturizing + color adj, the red part of the Hydrant would give you something close to leather.
And you can make some of those metal textures from the source too - it would take time though.
Source was used for shoes, hips, belt & head - mainly.
Instead of those little eyes that make the Executioner look like a sad little boy, and not imposing, you can select that side of the disk they are standing on, and add a glow - red would be nice.
I like the background a lot - you didn't mention the source for the grass - or if it's painted, it's really good, anyways.

Lol, I hope that's not all you got from my comment
Lincoln coin + liquify& stuff = the magic ball aka power cloud. Didn't know how to call it.

The Training
avatar greymval
greymval says:

Wow, that coin looks really good on her
Can't you pierce it and add a small ring that ties it to the chain, so that it won't look glued or levitating ?
I know that's efective only in Hi-res, but since that is your only touch with the original source (besides the CBR-ed cloud power), i really think that it would count.
That aside, splendind work!

The Training
avatar greymval
greymval says:

Smart idea, it would have looked far better with more time invested by:
-arranging the composition so it would be a simmetrical perspective vs the assimmetrical statue.
-Insisting on highlights of the sculpture like the light was comming from above, vs a general light from the left.
- columns having a base.
- color pallete including complementaries : blue vs orange statue, or red vs green columns.
I'm sure you already know all these, that's why i wish you had more time.

I see you edited the color, nice

I'm glad this is back, and I'm trying really hard not to comment on the "no nudes" policy. Nipples are the first thing we repeteadly see at the beginning of our journey into this world and now we have to cenzor them? Why?
The image is a bliss in it's simplicity I would however mask some parts of the egg support to make it look like it's planted in the sand.

Frikin' awesome & original entry! Fav'ed it.

Your SBS only shows making the heart, not the rib cage and etc, or at least explain in a few words the toughest part- which reminds me of "how to draw an owl tutorial in 2 steps":
http://imc1.piccsy.com/13357-ba33a2-500-407.jpg

But maybe you forgot to take pics, or your batteries died.
People might notice the torso has only 16 ribs, i think it looks better this way and i'm sure it was your compositional choice.
That writing and the sketchy-look, make this a top imo, so congrats for a good work.

You can recognize the source in the harrington disks, and even if it doesn't appeal to my soul cause I'm liquify's worst enemy (lol), I wouldn't thumb down people who like it or call it lame.
Dan has some valid points there: - similar bugs, probs with the right butterfly, flying disks, so i hope you can get pass his condescendence, rejoice that he only has 1 vote and find some constructive criticism in his comment.
If that's too hard and you can get pass his attitude challenge him on 1vs1 and may the best win!

You can get inspired from it, but not use it or reproduce it, since it's copyrighted.
I posted it so that you can see the proportions, mood, lighting & how an entry should look.
The lighthouse is your MAIN so it would be better to be more detailed and occupy more space, for starters.
You can search for lighthouses on sxc, you should find plenty of shapes and environments to enspire you there.
You can edit your entry if you want to improve it My stuff-My contest entries.
There you have it: the 3 "you can"s. :P

People here are eager to help once they get what the author intended to do - that's why you can use the description . For ex. I see you have an overall pattern but is hard to understand how did you achieve it. Instead you can make it out of coins. You can experiment with masking the negative so that it looks like your image is made of different coins, stuff like that.
