It's looking good! Some shadows seem displaced though ( the soldiers in the background), but once you fix that it's a top entry.

Great mood. But the cage could use a bit of transparency for better blend.

Lol, you're good at making enemies I see !

good one!! i love the drawing style & the hatch, besides the obvious cool idea

I was starting to feel bad, cause i don't get it.. but it seems no one does.
I think it would look cooler with a background, it seems unfinished at this point. Or maybe i just don't get it

I like the mood. Yeah maybe the moon can cast more light, but I like it how it is.
It's like when the sun just set and your eyes don't instantly get used to the new light so everything is darker for a few minutes, before your pupils dilate.

Tip: when a stone doesn't fit in the ground right, cover up with some grass & bushes.

Tip2: when you're not sure of the shadows... cover up with soem grass & bushes.

Well that's why we have.. wait for it....wait... ta-naaaa : Vanishing Point!
It really helps cloning in perspective. No more blury hard warped distorted textures. Order now at 555- Filter- Vanishing or 555- Alt+Ctrl+V !

I have to disagree.. this is good photography, amazing it would be a flying Burning seagull !!

this looks good.

Great artsy look.

The idea is good , the representation needs improvement. It's difficult to create realistic environments only by brush, that's why we use stock.

With some liquify to give a female form to the glass, a better attention to proportions and no hand amputation, this would be awesome. And no handle, as well. Anyway, it's a try.

I like it, too. Giving birth to a giant lemon, man you have imagination !

lookin' good !

Ice beach.. is that a play on words ? With some real ice instead of that water it would have looked better.

I like the effect of tree ice. With a little more work on the hair and a better background this entry would have rated high.

Great concept!

LOL good one!

Hey author, i hope i'm not too late.. Humans recognise if a person is female or male by the proportions between the waist, the hips & rib cage. You need to bring that out , maybe by darkening the princess and at the limit making her waist smaller so that we can clearly see her gender.
My first thought was why is he calling this old man a princess It would help to bring out some parts of her black hair, so we wouldn't see her as a granny.

I don't get it... It's been 15 minutes I'm staring, I'm sober and i have too many confusing questions.
What's that thing trapping her lengs, and why is it flying? Is she trasparent as well? Why there's no contrast in this image ? And what's that thing trapping her lengs & floating?
Man, I can't wait the sequel!!!!

Good comp . Frozen & hot.

Well you can even use this entry in the other contest (asian girl) as well according to the rules. it looks pretty good

Why don't you change the chest with an old bag (by popular demand), tied up with a rope - medieval style - and a warning when bag is open, etc.
It would be a pity to get low votes just cause of this.

Damn!!! How did you get this idea ?! I love the face expressions, but how come possitive & negative look the same ? Shouldn't one be sad, one happy, smart/dumb, fresh/ tired? for better duality?

I'm sure Moss tried to be helpfull here, and got carried away. Realistic interpretation is not necessary better art, so if the artist made the deformities on purpose it's cause he was stressing on the drama of the representation.

I guess you could make it more interesting.. A burning 5 made from broken windows at the top, aka Dark night style ( I did say interesting, not original :P).

No offence, but right now it's kinda plain, so if you have time, you should improve it!

Awesome idea! But i think the middle part of the motion blur should be fading away more then the edge, cause right now it looks almost like a solid not a motion shadow.

Ahh, memories..

Well since you have the source in SBS, i see no problem. Just remove that broken link.

You said you want her to be like Iceman ? Like this : http://xmendiaries.ibelgique.com/encyclopedie/characters/images/iceman03.jpg ?

Don't ! She's too hot for that ). I would insist on her hair. Check this: http://static.desktopnexus.com/thumbnails/149283-bigthumbnail.jpg See the contrast between the highlights & darkshines ? You could experiment with that, but it's already an awesome entry. Stacey will be proud

Perspective might be off, but your biggest problem is the chick in white ( or at least her hair).

Put him in a whiskey glass, it will add more drama to the entry.

Try to make some depht inside the skull - burn/ dodge.

High five?

Good one, i like it.

Could you make some parts of her hair looking frozen by placing highlight here and there?

I love posters telling me what to do !

It looks better.

Good things: chick, colors, textures, constrast, proportion, chick, formes.

Not so good things: source not easily enough recognizable, she could have had a window from the shed on her (Dali style) , Symmetry !!! = Makes it less interesting.
You know that short poem about the perfect cube ? It will make sense when you ll read it

Well, that s the fundamental coolest concept about pxleyes, we get to instantly improve based on feedback.

I can feel the pain!

No, author, CMYK meant it like: do it NOW. You can improve your entry and submit it so that people can vote higher ( in case you didn't know).
I think it's My stuff - my contest entries - edit entry. Don't repost it, just edit.

Instead of keeping the reflection on the edges like in the original try to take a piece of that rock & dolphins, warp it and lower oppacity to give realistic reflection on the recipient's walls ( i hope you understand what I'm saying.
And yeah, make the water trasparent & the jar itself.
Afterwards, select a the part of the image behind the jar and distort it. Something like this:

Wow! Just curious, how much time did it took you to so this? Seems like hard work.

Warning Smelling a dirty sock can lead to skin damage and global destruction.

I would give some tips for improv, but its late for changes.

The entry is called raven, but I keep starring at the moon, is so big and bright it eliminates the foreground.
I know it's late, but you know what would make this surrealism ?

No rock in FG and placing the raven ON the moon

Nice pic, keeps me watching it.

Exquisite piece of work, i do not totally agree with the color of those 2 characters ( maybe some barber stripes but different colors would have fitted better), but the rest is good!!!

Great "last call" entry!
