Clever, very nice work, author.

You are so good at this, author! Love your steps 3 and 4, and the coloring in the end result.

This would make a great antihistemine billboard - green man have heap big allergy problem with THAT schnoz!

She's a beaut! Nice work, author.

Nice job! This must be Daytona, and I can almost hear the surf.

Good job, author. I'll bet her fingers can really fly on a keyboard, and um, other places.

Haha! Gives new meaning to the term 'rubbernecking'.

Ah, yes, the cube is nicely done. Funny - hope all is well with mom and baby!

Hilarious, author, great job. And gee, he DOES have his daddy's eyes. Love that you even added hair to the razor.

Great chopping and concept, author!

Author, not sure if 2nd source link is working, just goes to a DA page with lots of stuff. Is the hand part of photo 1? Can't see it. Pretty interesting chop, though.

Very clever use of the dragonfruit. Gotta agree about the darker background against the light egg - it's the contrast that will make it more dramatic, same thing for the inside of the egg - good work on that, too.

Gads, this is very interesting - didn't realize til I viewed in hi-res, and you've got such patience! I'd love it if you included how you made the little holes and wires in your sbs, I'll wait to vote.

Edit: Thank you for that explanation, author - your steps 1 and 2 just look like black dots, so I guess after that you did further manipulation. And now I've voted - that partially explains your patience! Simple, but so effective. Holy moly, did that take a few days for all that 'surgery'?

Author, this has promise, but you need to list the source of the cube also - unless you made it, then you should show how in the sbs. Good luck!

Your tutorial link does not work, author, just a listing of lots of sites. SBS would be good.

Thanks, Geexman, yours does work, I'll check it out - I'm a sucker for stuff like that!

It's the eyebrows that does the 'awwww' for me! Very cute, author.

This is adorable - and would make a great illustration for a kid's book.

Cute, reminds me of Tweety-Bird.

Sweet kitty, nicely done, author!

Really nice, the chocolate drip looks very real. Glass and reflection looks good, too.
I want some!!

Very nice work! Great idea for the coin, cool way you made the bubbles.

So clever, I like how you've got the tomato in the picture and behind the book. Did you write that poem? Cool way you made the glasses.

Beautiful work, and I think one of these creatures is what's eating MY tomatoes!

Great job, especially blending their two hairstyles.

I like that you added a different background and blurred it to add dimension, good source finds. Well done!

Good copywriting for the articles, especially like the 'Shunning Tips', and your work on the A/C unit and game.

Love the reference to camo, nicely done, author.

WOW, this is incredible work, author! Great sbs, thanks for sharing, those are some interesting techniques. I think the high-pass adds a sort of sparkle to the foliage. I personally like the subdued tones and I think Mr. Wyeth would be impressed.

I like your interpretation a lot, including your background choices. Well done, author!

Nicely done, I especially like how you did the stem of the (not a) pipe, as well as the background contrast combined with focal point of the burst.

That's a great image you copied, and using your own whimsy, pretty funny.

Very nicely done, author, and on theme as well.

Though they're a little out of proportion, I like the skates and turbo-vehicle. Nice idea for this, author.

Great concept and execution on this, author. It's got a nice ethereal quality, and evokes a very calm feeling.

That's quite a story! Love the mobile unit in the driveway - no real front or back, how appropriate.

I guess that meter's full of quarters. Love the idea for the heart shadow and the emphasized happy face!

Very imaginative, love the motion, and smile on the 'leader'.

Absolutely fantastic, author! Love that lens flare, very cool effect. This would make a great mystical story.

My thoughts, too, Bob - looks like an H.R. Giger creature. Great background find, stacking and warping, author. Love step 5 showing how you made the spine especially. LOL@your title.

LOL, I remember that screensaver, too. Great painting with realistic details!

Adorable bear, well smudged. LOL@ fluffy feeties and biceps.

Very creative use of source. Love that you made the notes, and the whimsy of the floating elements.

Perfect subject matter for this source! Very nice manipulating, author.

Very nice job, love the flower pattern, but you've got %, it should be 10/6 - that is, if this is a Mad Hatter hat... you nailed the shape, tho!

Nice job, great Union card, classic mudflap image.
Very cool technique with the ai file thing!

OMG - too AWfully funny! Those Brits - such twits (sometimes).

Love your colors as always, and sense of humor to make such a sweet creation.
I'll take the Bacon Maple and Butter Rum Coconut - hope they didn't run out of those!

Ditto what Arca said. Just fabulous illustration!

Author, this looks good, but please upload your sbs as well as a description, per the contest guidelines. A hi-res would be nice, too.

Edit: very nice work, good sbs. Great point of view, but c'mon, check the hi-res box.

Very cool and otherworldly. Good title for this, and LOL @'rinse and repeat'.
Maybe fewer stars or lower opacity on some, but I like your concept, and design for the breathing apparatus.

Excellent work, you really captured the 'essence' of your furbaby. Congrats, well deserved.
(I used to play with acrylics, too.)
