greymval says:

A nice comp, but the character is disproportioned:
his head is too big, and the arms are too long compared to small legs. The longest bone in the human body is the femur ( thigh bone).
Apart that, the levels, textures and wing design work really well.

X-RAY

greymval says:

1.Use cloning stamp on tomato to adjust light and shadows;
2.also use a separate layer with low opacity to paint the shades & lights.
3. Check the shadow cast by looking at the shades of those plants from source 3. The shadow from the character should be at the same angle.
4. Don't get mad on my comment, just trying to help
Edit: well next time, you could use this tips, I now realize the contest is closed.

Cool design! You pen tooled the wire-frame, dang that must have took you some time - i guess color range or wand were not too helpful here.
I like the paper flying things around the character and i think it would help if:

1. you color the other hand too or some part of it
2. you make the exploding pieces further away from the body, and at different heights, while also keeping the light rays coming from their breaking holes.

greymval says:

Man, the concept is smart, is just that you have the background split in half = light/dark, and although I get it's symbolism it takes from the viewers focus: It took me 5 sec to see the reflection and get the idea. A crop adjustment and balancing the levels would improve this.
Good thinking.

Nice one, crystal balls magnify the background behind them when this is close to them, so the part of the tomato right behind the crystal should be bigger.

A nice idea, and about that butterfly it took me 3 sec, sorry . It's just cause it's placed in the left side and as soon as you Hi-res and scroll down you see it. It was fun nonetheless, and you made your viewers check the high resolution, which is always a good thing to do.

Now that's more like it, edges could still use some fix though, and maybe you can find some nice source for the background- something inspired from Star Wars ( but no copyright).

car wash
avatar greymval
greymval says:

This looks ok, you should however:
1. soften the edges of the model ( Ctrl click on layer of the girl, go to Select modify contract by 1 or 2 pxl , invert selection & blur - at least that's how I do it.)
2. Avoid that mirrored surface- cause flipping the model won't help with you reflection. We should see underneath her feet from this position, and doing that takes long & hard in photoshop - so i suggest you make a matte surface like in the source.
