Edges of hair on feet ain't hairy, and you haven't done anything to refine the edges mentioned above.

Besides what Bob said, if he's a Hobbit shouldn't he have hairy feet?

Good image, but try to work on some of the edges on the stick & figure. A soft blur brush will fix most of them. And since it's dark, the upper part of the figure could be less saturated...color fades in the dark. GL author.

Cool. Like the original "Mr. Potatohead." You needed to supply your own potato. It was only after a zillion mom's complained that their kids didn't want to throw them out and they had decaying potatoes laying around that they changed the body to plastic.

Two Year Eye

robvdn says:

The shadow of the elephant on the hand is of a color which doesn't fit (give the shadow a darker color of the hand and not gray! A shadow is lack of light on the reflecting object and not a black light projected on that object ).
Another thing which can be improved is that the elephant is way sharper then the hand which makes it stand out.

I do like the photo you used of your children though the expression on the face of the little one fits perfect. Besides that the elephant in the hand is a good find.

Creative mix of blimp and message! The yellowy background noted by CMYK46 may indeed mute the impact as I find Step 8 of the SBS intriguing.

What bothers me is that the tail elements of the propane tank are slightly tilted [the blimp is perhaps making a right turn?], but that has not been recognized in the placement of the wings, rudders, etc. onto the tank. I also think a tiny hint of shadow where different surfaces meet is more realistic.
