Very nice image! You could make it more dramatic by adding shadows on the outside of the girl, there's a lightsource on the back which can justify that. And you can use the orb as a lightsource coming from the front which lights the front of the girl. This will attrack more attention to the inside of the image.

Just a tip

Up until 2/3 from the left the image looks great, the 1/3 on the right has got some perspective problems. It looks like it's bend. The angle on the propellor and the tube on top are wrong. Could be an easy fix.

You should also post the tutorial you used to make this.

Nice job! Maybe the colors are a little flat but that would be a personal choise. $10.00 it will be a girl.

The use of source is OK, the image looks great and I have to agree with Dustfinger; the background of step 7 would have looked much better I think. Anyway: good image and good luck

Great image but where has the source gone? Your technique is good but really you lost the source in the process which is a shame. Safe this kind of entries for the theme contests or make sure the source is still there. You didn't need this source to make this image.

Now this one I like! Good use of source, you didn't go overboard with warping, stretching and discoloring. If you can move the right part of the reflection down, looks like the horse is staggering a bit which would mean the reflection would be more down.

The image looks really great but wondering about the use of source. That aspect is poor in my views; there's hardly anything left of it and you could have used any source to do this image. If it had been a theme contest entry you would have gotten a much higher score and better comment from me.

Sorry author

Author let me be clear: I wasn't judging your image, just the use of source. You are right about we're here to learn and we all have different tasts. If something like this would have been posted in a theme contest you would have gotten a complete different comment by me Just my personal view, hope you're not offended. Didn't mean to.

it's simple, it's plain, it's GOOD. The only thing would be the crystalised snowflakes and the wavy snowflakepatterns but those can be corrected very fast and easy by using a small brush, put it on scatter and blur it.

But you should know how to do it

my problem is: could you have made this with ANY other source? I think the answer is yes and therefor the use of the source is weak. If you've set the brush to scatter there wouldn't be that repetative pattern in the leaves. In other words: not my piece of cake

Sorry...

Well done, I hate Disney too Nice job on the restore

Just something on CC author: CC means Creative Commens, those are images you are allowed to use overhere it's the copyrighted sources (©) you can't use

Nice blending of the cow on the cup, it has the right curve and the shadows look OK too

hmmm I'm a dogperson and really have no connection with cats, but this is... this is... this is.. ooooooooow poor kitty...

Cant you ppl see it??? It's on the floor, the pattern

Besides the no source I think you really went overboard on the filters, eventhough it's not a reason to get your image pulled you won't get high scores using just filters... try to put some of your creativity in it

The source (in this case) is the image on top of the contestpage, the statue of the blue cow. You'll need to use that image in your entry in some way, not inspired on, not as a reference but it needs to be in the image you create.
Think you confuse 'source' with the images you used, yep they are sources too but the blue cow on top HAS to be one of your sources in your image.

You can get rid of the repetitive pattern of the water by selecting a 35% opacity clone brush and clone another part or parts over it once or twice.

O personally I would flip the boat horizontally, that way it will go with the flow.

Please don't enter the same entry twice even its a revision. Prediction will be this entry will be removed by mods, you'll have to update your first entry eventhough you'll probably will have some lower votes gathered there...

Try using a displacement map on the holes, that way they'll look more natural. If you pentool the cow and duplicate that layer several times with some nudge on each layer (when done merge those underlying layers and blur them) you'll get a better idea off depth. Just some pointers

Very good, you might want to correct the sail on the left in the middle: it's got some green shining through.

I just love the style of the face, very well done!!!

Alternative title: "when hell freezes over" ... kidding. Nice idea!

Try adding some shadows in the centre part of the wheel to give it more depth.

You should post the tutorial you used for this is image don't ya? This underwater scene is used over and over and many of the older members will recognise it at once.

Superb image Only thing that puts me down is the brown "lightsource". It drops out of style and color to me. On the other hand the games the shadows play, the blueish color... gourgeous!

just some tips: there's some room for improvement.

1: some of the text isn't lined correct, which should be an easy fix. Try rotating and skew the text.

2. try using a displacement map on the text to make it follow the rounded tops.

Otherwise: good idea!

Uhm, somehow it reminds me of something....
LOL.

for © reasons you might want to remove that SL avatar with something not ©

all I can see is an extra shadow, maybe some explanation will help...

please include some Bryce screenshots in that SBS, I'd love to know how you did this

I've seen this one before Think it was at www.polyvore.com? woooohahahhaha. Nice work author

Very nice Maybe you could move the centre line of the mask a little bit to the left so it follows the centre of the nose, same thing goes for the headband > to the right a bit. NIce mood and good idea to match the haircolor with the mask

You did a really good job on the drawing. I don't want t be a partypooper but there's nothing left from the source and in my opinion you could have made this from any source...

both sides of the reflection looks flat, if you can correct this you've got a really good entry. Maybe by spherizing the reflecting you get a better result to start off the reflection, then use a distortion map to match the apples shape. Just a suggestion

Maybe adding some shadow will give it some depth, otherwise nicely done.

You could give it a bit more work instead off just blending 2 layers > 2 minutes work. I agree the effect is nice but you'll see we look further and expect more, sorry to be harsh

Just blending 2 images into 1, looking for the 2nd source would have taken more time over blending them... Sorry to sound harsh but at least I expect more.

Nice idea, but really not a lot of work is it? I agree with CMYK on the blending head vs the body, it could be better. Use a brush to repair the hair. Put in an interesting background...

This could be a great image but what you posted now looks like the first step to it.

Hope you take some time to improve.

I'm not impressed... sorry! Just some brushes, warp and a lensflare? That don't impress me much...

Hmmm I leave some birthday cake behind for you all and this is what happened to it???

Kids...

This is so nice and sweet! Gourgeous mood as well. Hope the "bad" background will work out, hate to see this removed...

it looks kinda pixely, got a better version? Sure hope so because this is one of the better logo's in the contest

WOW author another great work

clean and simple: GOOD! maybe for a contrast you can put the "eyes" part above it all?

remember this should be about 89 pixels high... it will be completely unrecognizable

nice and simple... I like it

Better drop the feathers though, they remind to much to Photoshop but PXLEyes is focussing more to ALL imageproducing software including 3d and so on...

It's to much focussed on the "eyes" part for me: "The goal of this contest is to design a logo for PXLEyes.com - PXLEyes.com can be interpreted in different ways and it is up to you to design a creative interpretation. It can be pronounced as "Pixel Eyes" or "Pixelize" or "Pixel Lies"."

remember PXLEyes isnt just about Photoshop anymore, one of the reasons for the namechange...

remember PXLEyes isnt just about Photoshop anymore, one of the reasons for the namechange...

I think you should remove "photoshop", the main reason for the namechange has to do with the fact this site opens up for more different techniques/software. Futhermore its PXLeyes not PXLeye
