Well worth the 16 hour!!! (As has been mention before) This is just wonderful ... I would love to have one of these to ride around the country! What fun ... maybe not as smooth as a Bike but it would be way cooler! You could call me Anti ... and my club could be the Ant Eaters!

nice work author

I expected a higher position for this one.. still it is a great job

Nice pose, I like it..

I agree, I've always thought that tut was wrong. The larger fragments should be closer to the source, and get smaller as they expand. Good entry, though.

Cool!
Reminded me of a similar entry ( Burning kiss- i think ) with the same fairy model & concept. The guy used different layers of cracked earth the one underneath was red and it looked like skin was pealing off. Veterans surely know it.
This is cool too, and i'm happy to see it since the old entry died with PST, and the user didn't come back.
But you entitled it: explosive kiss - in explosion the exploded parts either become smaller or stay the same, they don't increase size. I know the idea is from the tutorial with the exploded face, but many people stated that the flaw in concept is that bits shouldn't get bigger.

really cool work!

impressive skin texture....i agree wd arca...bot the eye balls look a bit flat...u shud have done some shading to make it more realistic......

This is excellent.. Would love to see a SBS if possible Great job, really

he look kinda friendly :P

Excellent pic, great work.

Well done Author. I love it. G/L.

Fantastic image author!! Great work..!! A fav if ever i saw one

a little dark.

Love it! Great "skin" texture.

well done.., love it

Very nice work author...great source find too...u made super cool composition here...best of luck

It may be my monitor, but I find it a bit too dark.

But from what I see you did a good job with your sources. Maybe a stain or two on the woman's white clothes may help to integrate her more in the image.

Nice work.

At first sight i tought you made the machine from the given source, but when i checked sources i noticed u did not. So thats a complement on finding the right source.

First i'd like to say that personally i'd like to see the given image to be chopped to be used a little more, but that is personally.

I got a few things that might ( in my eyes ) need changes.

I think the girl in white, still is too much white.
The light source on the girl comes from the left and right hand side,
while on the machine, looks like comes more from top and front side.

For the person in the back ( i do not think it adds much to the image, but that is personal again) might need a color layer on the top of the person.
Also for the shadow u might want to duplicate the layer and give both layers a mask, then blur or stretch the 2nd layer.

These are just my ideas of improvements, and you can ofcourse disagree.
See this as help only and not as, someone trying to see only the bad things.

The idea is to help you get the most out of it.

Good luck in the competition.

Mmmm spooky I like it GL

is this lady gaga? lol... good job for this!

congrats on 4th, good wrk...

GL!
