hmmmm... I don't know if I'm with you on this. when I look at it, it looks way to much like the photo. but in high res i can kinda see you brush strokes. Because it looks so much to the real photo, I think you could have just used the smudge tool and did some overlaying and stuff. The only reason that I can see it as painted is that you messed up the hand.

I think if you move move the gate over to the left a little more and lighter the tree shadow it will look much better. Imo it feels like something is missing but I can't put my finger on it. Overal it is a well thought out entry. gl

It doesn't look so much like a drink advertisement but one of those effects that you see in the Windows Media Player. I feel like the balance is a little off. I think placing the silhouette in the center with bars going across the page would make it look more balanced.

Haha this is funny. Nice blending. When I look at this guy all I can do is laugh I would try a different background. Imo the background doesn't work with this. GL

I like this. It is simple. A few suggestions: Try to clean the edges just a little more and the title says its about jump rope, so add a jump rope to the image and it will look like a real sports logo, unless the white break between the red and blue is the jump rope then don't mind the comment about the jump rope. gl

Nice job on the cloning. You're new I'm assuming. When I started here it was a little tough, but I have figured out the site a lot better than I use to. If you want to add some moonlight to the water. Try using the dodge tool. Adjust the opacity of the dodge to about 40% and mess around with the brush settings. And to make it look really good. Try to spread the light across the water and fade it as it gets closer to side. Do you know what I mean?

I know you are getting some comments about the perspective and you are probably getting mad and want people to stop talking hahah. I know how you feel though. For the perspective of the chair, try to use the distort or perspective transform tools. All you need to do is make the top/back part of the chair a little lower I guess. I'm not sure how else to put it. like bring it down. Overall its a great idea. gl

I can barely see the birds face. The only reason I knew it was a bird was because of the title and the wings. Try to add some shadows and highlights to make the bird pop more. gl

This is really cute. May I suggest making the bear just a little bigger. Also, possibly shade right under the bears feet/ tummy.

I can't really see the source. If you left the wings brown then i could see them. Like in your SBS. Its and interesting idea you have

I don't use a tablet and I do stuff like this with out the distort. It might take a little longer but I still do it

everything looks good, but I don't really like that you drew everything and then distorted it. It would have been nice if you drew it at this angle. The numbers look exactly like the fonts. But overall it looks good. gl

I really like how the light hits the strings by the bridge. A small suggestion, the 6th string is a little to far to the right.

this is a really nice drawing, but I would have liked to see how you made the color.

haha see she ran thats movement haha

on one layer, your crazy. if you messed up bad you would have to start over. Nice work though, I do agree with langstrum. I wish the eye was a little bigger.

not really haha... It was on Mythbusters color didn't matter

Actually, It was proved that bulls don't attack just because of the color red. They attack because of movement. But, Good job

Not really what the idea of the theme is but, it still counts. Very creative.

i feel like you got a bad placement. I personally think you should have been at least 4th or 3rd.

Oh my gosh... This is just unbelievable

haha thats funny it does.

I think the head is a little to small...

this is great... to make it look more realistic, try adding clay to the paws.

The hand looks a little weird. It also looks like it has a beard...

Im curious on how you did the picture. Do you think you could add it to the sbs????

hmmm... Interesting.

I've seen a lot of these mushroom houses before. Its not to creative, but it was executed well.

how did you do the window? did you use a texture?

this is a nice entry... The only thing that i would have done is changed the rain a little because there should be rain behind the umbrella to. gl

Hip Hop Polka????? HAHAHA thats funny..

It looks good... is the earth screen suppose to be off... if not try to center it. also imo, try to make the reflection lighter. gl

i like the dj but i don't think the fonts work. try downloading a different font from dafont.com they have some nice styles

this a great idea. but it looks a little bland for chocolate.

This is a good idea. i have see stuff like this before. I have a tip for you, on your brushes, don't just stick with a line. Try mixing up the sizes and make the splatter more random. it will give it a better look

pretty cool idea, a few suggestions: give it a different background like clouds or something, try blending the parrot a little more with the other parrot, try to erase that cross in the forehead, and thats about it. gl

the left side of your image at the bottom needs to be fixed, you can see the blue background. I think you still need more depth and also try fixing the dark blue spots by the bird and flowers

I don't know if its my eyes, but that top right butterfly looks like a different color. is it the same orange brown color on the rest of the image????

This is a good idea. Try getting a different photo for the grass. It takes away from the photo

no 3D logo... haha Its a cool idea. Dont forget to add sbs. Its hard to tell what you used from the source.

You know you can use other photos right?? I think you should get a picture of clouds or some type of desert for the background.

Yes, You have the idea. this is suppose how it looks. I think the idea of making pictures likes this gives a different kind of perspective. I agree with anna.

wouldn't the light be on the other side of the ball??

I think i know who this is. I've seen these two people in another contest with the shells a while back. Oh well, Its a wonderful image and i agree with waz. good luck.

i see what you are doing but their are to many stars. Try using the levels on the noise layer. it will create less stars and it will look better

I saw something about a dog that looked like this... What would be cool is if you attached wheel to his front.

i see just a little fault by the thumb....

I looked at your sbs... I think you could have done this a lot differently if you used the pen tool. Also, i think you uploaded the wrong replacement. I see what you want in the sbs, but its not the same as this one here.

imo i think you should clone out some of the windows.

I actually like this idea. IMO I think you should replace your mask with a skull, but keep the shape of what you have. If you know what i mean.
