Cool movie info, author. Reminds me of one or two other early scifi films.
In this Metropolis film, was there only a single eye on the robot? (The image at wiki shows two.)

How does one go about getting a non CR photo of Hef? OK, CMYK, do YOU know any of the bunnies?????

This is hilarious, author! While you look for that shot of Hef, maybe change to a 'smoking jacket'... great idea for this contest!

EDIT: OMG, this is totally do-able - there ARE some shots of him, non CR!

I love how you can see a face with reflected pieces, then make a little character from the rest. Kids' book character for sure!

It's brilliant that you saw iris petals in that egg mess, but even more, I love how you constructed the vase. Adding the eggs and leaves at the end reminds me of when I was in art school (ages ago!)

The petals on the floor are also a nice touch. And the flowers gave that room the color it needed!

OMG, this is adorable! Very nice job, and I agree about the background, the simple spotlight effect works. Good contrast in color to the ants, too.

And YIKES, I watched the video, too................ *cleanup in aisle 2*

Very nice work on the globe and snowman. Even though you didn't draw the book, the texture you put on it looks great, as does the reflection in the globe, and it's a great addition to your image.

This is pretty cool. Love the genie effect, and especially what the 'exhaust' pipe really is..... tho I think a more appropriate name for it would be the 'intake valve'. Interesting snow/noise effect for this. Rock on, Josh, btw, haircut looks good.

Very nice attention to detail here, and even though the proportion of the woman to the reindeer might be off a little, it's still very good. Shadows on the reindeer and pelican add to the realism. Almost missed the frog, that's a nice touch!

For heavens sake, I'm a natural-born American and never heard that word, nor did Mr. Webster. Luckily, Mr. Google has. And somehow, it's so appropriate!

Love this! Overall nice work, tho the men on the far left look cut out a bit. But good coloring and blending, especially behind the trees in the distance. Some tedious work done here, pretty believable image! Very nice work, author.

Great idea to make the tap a ship, but where do the insides and outside texture come from, or how were they made? (not in sbs)

Edit: Thank you for that explanation, author, tho it came many hours after your first posting. No reason to give me a negative point for just asking, it was a valid question.

Very nicely put together, author, the golfball arm is a brilliant texture to blend into the hands. Nice touch with the Texas belt buckle, too.

I also see a couple of things that could be tweaked: notice the difference in size between the vine leaves and the golden leaf to the right? Seems the vine leaves are way too small. Also, in the original photo of the tap, the drop of water is translucent - in this, the water drops are blue and not translucent at all, try lowering the opacity and maybe the blueness. Also, maybe blur slightly the background wall. Good luck, overall this has a nice feel.

The fish is fantastic, but where did the two men come from? not mentioned in sbs, they just appear, as do the birds. This would make a wonderful illustration for a children's book.
EDIT: ah, now they're in your sbs, nice little paintings, too, author!
