This should be place in a museum..... nice pice of art, and good use of the source..... good luck!

I really like your idea and the image itself is really well done. Just a few suggestions for you...perhaps if you could dodge some of the newly added blades of foliage in front of the hippo to vary the luminosity...giving some highlights etc. This would help keep them looking the same and sorta flat. Also...there's a visible hard line edge of the hippo's neck that can be seen...maybe cover that up or brush it out. If you could also possibly remove the real soft fringe around the front of hippo...it's a bit distracting and doesn't really need to be there. Sorry to nitpick...trying to help.

I know it's hard to find any suitable Hungry Hippo photographs. Excellent creative use of resources at your hand. Overall a nice looking piece of work. I used to like playing this game with my children, many moons ago.

Kyricom, that's why he's hungry, hungry,
and dead.

this is freaking great. i really cannot find a thing wrong with it.

really fun... except hippos live in rivers, not on the savannah

Nice 3D work in this photoshop contest, author. Several of your sbs steps are impossible to read, tho. Try using a color with more contrast to the background, and larger type.

Beautiful work author...nice mix of 2d and 3d...well done

I like it

Striking and pleasing color combinations. Great job, author!

Whoa........excellent work....got no words for this.....GL

looking different............ nice work

I like the creation of the eye very much, other areas need more finishing

the upper half looks great, but i'm a bit confused by the lower part..

it took me a little while to realize they were feet.. I thought they were deformed forks for some reason LOL.. you might want to thicken and enlarge them so they match the rest of the density of the piece.. they look a little displaced at the moment.. but still a very amazing job here

EDIT: wow.. glad I came back.. the feet are AMAZING.. good job

Pretty blurry around the feet, and even though it's a wacky idea, everything is realistic except the feet...

It's a little strange, but nice. Good job!

great job
