Blending the old and new ,love the design ! Good luck author

Nicely done 'home-made' wood!

Very nice tribute, author, and good work making the rock texture.

well done author good work and good luck

nice work author..
good luck

good thought author like your work good luck

First let me say the sentiment is beautiful, the incident and the loss is very personal for most of us New Yorkers and I'm sure they'll appreciate your thoughts as will all good people of Planet Earth.
I'll be totally honest with you, when I first saw your entry I thought it was a gold border and letters on a blue tinted clear panel. I actually liked that idea, I was going to suggest a drop shadow of the type and border cast on the rock seen through the clear panel to enhance the floating look, almost looking like a futuristic memorial.
I really don't think the suggestions made were insulting or derogatory, they were worded in an academic way based on the opinions of those members. Why don't we just respect the solemn meaning of the entry and not let differences of opinion overshadow that.

GREAT for this emotional time of year... good luck author.. very clever idea

Author, what does your comment have to do with the quality of your entry and my attempt to help it improve?

The texture on the plaque sure makes it look transparent - the ridges and lines correspond with the "monument" behind it...Especially along the top edge, while the side shows no texture.

If it were mounted "away from the curved surface," there would be some sort of "gap shadow."

You may want to ignore the technical shortcomings, but other members who want to learn and improve can appreciate them being pointed out, so that they can learn what to look for in an entry. It's certainly not "worry" over your mistakes, as much as helping newer members learn what to try and avoid.

If the plaque is not transparent, why do I see the rock texture through it?

The plaque is on a curved surface & should be warped accordingly. It's also transparent.

super duper on theme.. great job

the plane in the eyes doesn't look god. maybe you should put the P in the foreground

Blue on blue, heartache on heartache...

Very nice work, author - I love how ALL of the elements are 3D, or have that look. Work on the plane is very good, especially the detail of the engine and reflections of the fuselage and tail in the wings! I used to do artwork and print t-shirts, and this would look great on white.

i would put pxl air on the airplane or something instead that artist and i see some "stuff" in front of the right engine and around wings that should be erased.....small banners are not that good....but good idea...will vote later to see how it goes...gl

Aces! Great job on this.

Very cool concept. But I would make some refinements.

Delete the "FOR PIXEL ADDICTS" banner. (What does that mean and why restrict participants?)

Extend the blimp beyond the boundaries of the map so the map is clearly a background element. Warp the text so it looks like it's on the curved surface of the blimp. And add the URL to the blimp so it can be deleted from the bottom of the image.

One PXL logo is enough, perhaps in the NW corner, much bigger and partially outside the border of the map. Having the logo and the blimp appear to be on the same plane could work.

My fav !

Beautiful work author! Clean work of Art!

.

very very creative thinking and great execution...best of luck author

Good design, maybe you can change the background a bit? The final shirt will be white, meaning this print on a shirt will look like a block on it. If the background is more flowing into a gradient to white towards the outside it will look nicer on a shirt.

Can you add "www." in front of the URL?

Looks amazing, very good job!

Appealing concept.

In hi-res, the four mini banners on the left side of the big banner are sharper than the rest of that banner. But it's hard to imagine that those mini banners would be legible printed on a T-shirt, let alone why they're flying in a different breeze than the big banner when I would assume those mini banners are actually printed on the big banner. Bottom line: I would delete the mini banners and sharpen the remaining part of the big banner.

The earth is realistic, the logo is drawn but clearly a logo, while the plane with banner is in-between. I think the plane and banner should be an obvious illustration on top of everything else so it stands out as the true foreground element that expresses the primary message of the image. Making the plane and banner bigger so there is greater overlap with the PXL logo would emphasize that point.

I thought you might have been deliberately inconsistent, so as to reflect all levels of talent here on the site, since inconsistent lighting and shadows are some of the biggest and most common mistakes people make, but thought I'd mention it just in case you were striving for a higher quality entry. Glad to know my initial feeling was the right one.

very happy image good luck author

The drop shadow off the plane wing and banner are falling onto the planet behind it, while the Pxl shadows are dropping down and are more diffuse...

Stunning!!!!! This is amazing!

overall, add a texturised filter on the cap maybe better (if prefer)

cool!

Woohoo, congrats!

Good job my friend and nice result...... GL.

Congrats!

Excellently done and good SBS too. GL!

CONGRATS!

CONGRATS!

The front edge of the shelf should be darker than the top with the lighting you've established. Otherwise it's a good job.
Edit: Lookin' good now.

Very nice Job.

Really crisp and clean - good job!

OH, yeah, love the name of THIS school!!! Great work on the hat and background elements, author. Nice little cap for your 'man cave'.

Super Duper clean image!! and very good work.. Good luck author

Duck You.. Duck You very very much... hehehe

Nice 3D work, author, this has a 50s-60s scifi look, which I love! Cool texture on the foreground elements, too.

Beautiful image author, very serene, can almost feel the crisp air!

Great looking image.

Nice entry Author

Software is not invincible, and often does not take into account the difference between a spotlight aimed at a subject, and a sun, millions of miles away, providing "global" illumination on a planet with an atmosphere...

I wonder if there's an alien version of Pepto Bismol for those embarassing travel moments?
