very very sweet work

No SBS? Why bother?

Great job author and very very nice final result...best of luck

The left eye looks liie it is floating on the armor instead of being behind it. It also needs a slightly more visible shadow in the face, so it looks like she is using the armor

Nice job.

Lovely work. Has a delicate feel to the whole image and the composition well done. The way the floral overlay directs the viewer to her eye. Works for me!

She got a gorgeous and elegant mood with the make up you did. Very beautiful...

Next time make a notepad file and paste into it all the links you're using.It's easier to manage.

Author... just find the brushes again on Deviant Art and put a link in your STEP BY STEP or place a cut and paste link in the comment area... (It really shouldn't take you long to find them again.. find out what name the brushes had in PS file and search it out..

Good Luck... (and very nice image

Ya, this is great. I love the way it looks.

Very sophisticated, and pretty.

It's Geisha, unless you misspelled on purpose

A red clothing instead of the white one, would balance the colors in the image, IMO.

Nice work, lovely image!

Congrats Lolu...

for the trust ,i like it ,good luck

Great image. Nice work.

Prefab brushes reek of laziness IMHO, but it's a tasteful image.

Wow really? She has a HUGE hand! lol. Well in that case, nevermind. GL, author!

fantastic work author...well done

Fantastic image author Good luck.

WOW what a great creation...well done author

Well done!

I agree with arca and MossyB, it does look alien, and especially looks like she has a tail, and the hand is a bit too big. But I do like this picture very much, great idea. I too do not have a problem with the filters, I think it gives it a cool (literally) effect.

I find this has an alien quality to it ... almost like something from "Species". I don't know if that is what you where going for but either way it is a fascinating image!

Cool job!!! Never would have thought of this!

Well done! Filters are not a sin, I think you used them judiciously.
I do think the hands are a bit too big and too bright, though. The right hand looks like it comes from a man...

A bit too much filter.

=)))))) great

cool idea author, u could create some curves on giraffe's neck...

nice images -- maybe a bit of work on the masking around the feet would improve this -- they are a bit blurry and the line between the feet and the road should be more defined

I know the giraffe's neck was short, but don't stretch it cause the spots look weird. Either copy paste and blend a part of the neck to continue either make a blend between the mantis neck and the giraffe.
You'll have to blend the fore members too.

sorry but the blending with the two sources is bad, i think i have to add more depth with the bunny and proper directions of shadow/highlights.

LOL!

There is a clear line between where the insect stops and the giraffe neck starts which makes it less convincing, they don't quite match in size or colour either.

Congrats Lolu...

Congrats!!

congrats , great entry

Congrats on third place!

Congrats for your third place, Lolu!

good thing author...gl

Beautiful, like a Persian carpet

Very clever use of the hands as a texture, and agree with Lchappell regarding the depth. Looks also like a tapestry.

I like how this one pops, there is a real perception of depth in this work , nice high res.

Very pretty!

great work. it is very creative how you used the hand to come up with this cool image, I love it

very nice -- like the stitched effect

Congrats!!

Congrats for your third place, Lolu!

Congrats!!!

Congratulations!

Congrats
