Congratulations amazing work

wonderful drawing skills.., great.., I agree with you that some comments may have discouraged you.., But we can't blame the other members for pointing out that you have used minimal source. I am trying to say that, with this kind of skills you should have used the rock textures for making the lion or the costume the guardian. ''just a suggestion, may be for your future works.., I think i am not hurting you, my friend.., good luck

Nice work....minimal use of source, great illustrative work...agree with MossyB

Lovely concept and drawing. A little low on the original source but your work and expressiveness adds so much it is hard to fault you for that. Lovely work about a difficult and troubling situation. I hope you are safe throughout this hard time and hugs!

Beautiful illustration work, author! You have the light clearly in front of the human figure but it seems the lion's head is a bit too bright. If you were able to darken the lion's face and front it would solidify the lighting a bit more. Really nice work!

Skill level has little to do with the ability to see...
You needn't "worry" about ANY comments, it's whether you can learn to see and improve from other opinions that is the purpose of comments...

It's only the petty minded (and "insane" that feel they have to insult others for voicing their opinions...

great effort with great result, good luck!

wow!!!! nice to see u author!!

WOWZA...YOU ARE THE SMUDGE TOOL MASTER!!!!! Hours and hours of great work, wonderful SBS.. good luck author.. (it's kinda funny you used that one itsy bitsy hair brush ) really made me smile!!!

great work author, dont worry about comments from people with only 1/2 your skill

It's nice, but more suited to the drawing section than Photoshop, to my eyes. Your "subject" is not the source image, and the majority of your image is painted, not photoshopped. Had you used source images for the lion and the person, it would be a chopped image. This is more a painting with a wee bit of the source image added as accent...

Mixed manipulations would even be a better category for this type of work.

Sorry, I'm only seeing minimal use of the source (some rocks) . The rocks could have come from anywhere.

Well done image indeed, but very minimal use of the source. You basically could have used any image of a rock for this.
