Very creative once again, great effect with the filters and sources. I wore braids as a young girl, and this is a clever way to show that idea!

That is some cool work, I must say. Very creative use of source and program.

Great job, author! Especially love the cut-out shape and type work, and the background textures. Good find on the model, fits the car perfectly.

Great work on the bird, very nice find for the background. Love that some of the branches were brought in front of the railing, nice detail there.

Fabulous work, author. Great find on the Victorian boots, and 'painted lady'. I like that you warped the porch pieces, it adds to the whimsy.

Cool critter, but I especially like your concept and title!

Adorable - love this concept! Love your colors for the 2nd background.

Great colors you ended up with!

Fantasic job, especially on her face! Love the background, too, and I'm sure you'll get that worked out.

Hahahaha, cool creature but love the numbers!

Hillbilly's Ride is lookin' mighty fine, author, nice work.

Very impressive work, author! 'Pearls in the Can' works for me - the bucket is the 'can'.

Light spreads, this works for me. Great concept and painting, author!

Really clever, author. The critters are cute, and the walls are especially well done. Great sbs, too. ;-D

Truly impressive work, author! Love it.

Aces! Love the screws, hinges and brass goggly stuff! Very creative, author.

Very cool work, author, will you be posting an sbs?

You really went out on a limb with this one, author. Nice chop and sentiment.

Very nice tribute, author.

Very pretty composition, author.

Very cool idea, author. Love the script font that you found, perfect for this!

LOL, great name and texture to the source!

Simple, but effective - great job on blending and texture!

Great vision and construction.

You are quite talented, author - chopping, digital drawing AND storytelling - you could produce entire books! I know how it is to get an idea, then try to crank it out in time to upload for a contest. Would love to see this tweaked and then hi-res. Overall, great job.

Great fantasy scene, and love that you used the castle that was the inspiration for Cinderella's castle at Disney! Would have liked some motion blur on the phoenix, but it's beautiful!

Nice painting with the source elements!

Great job on this, wine glass, orange and banana especially.

Good quote, and concept.

Really good job, especially around the mouth!

Such sweet eyes you found for them - they remind me of Star Trek's Tribbles.

Aww, he's so sweet! Great blend.

Very good job on this one, great match of skins.

Great blend on the neck! ;-D

Nice combination and good blend. Like the sepia-tone neutrality.

Yes, very good blend.

Gads, this is awesome work! Love how you found such a great use for dissolve, that's genius!

Beautiful, author! Love your concept, the butterflies and use of filters for the background. Exceptionally creative work here.

Very cool image, love how you made the tubes, and of course that you were inspired by Star Trek!

Gorgeous, love the scales, and even scales on the tongue! lol

Cute! Nice job.

Great choice, fantastic outcome!

LOL, nice texture matching! He's just lovely.

Nice work on the ship, but the planet is cool, too, simple but very creative.

Brilliant work, love his expression, and the exhaust pipes on his head!

Great angle you took on this, good job!

Goosebumps when I hear Sam's voice - but he's a riot as an 'egghead'! LOL@this one, author.

I love how you made the letters, with the cutouts in the side and the gears in there, however, IMHO, the gears should be brass, or in this case, old tarnished brass, not silver (look up brass goggles, steampunk, etc.). Also, the 'steam' coming out of the pipe looks too heavy for real steam, try lightening it a bit, and maybe lenghening it also.

Author you still have time, may I suggest that you create your own window to mimic the one in the image - and to take its place - and then put the light through that one - let the program make it right. There are still incorrect shadows right under the letters, and none crossing over them.There's one spot where it's very obvious they should be crossing over.
This has real potential with some tweaks.

You know, I love a good steampunk anything - but by using an external image for your light source instead of the lighting abilities of a 3D program, you have negated the correctness of the shadows. Even close to the edge, some of the shadows SHOULD be falling across the letters. AND, you can see this all the better in hi-res. As much trouble as I have had learning shadows, even I can tell that this is way off.

LOVE this! I've been a Star Trek fan for the last century or two...... if you can remove the shine on far left, tho, somehow doesn't fit. Great job on this. LOL@ 'to baldly go...'

Edit: Much better, author - 'vague glows' are plentiful in space!
