Agreed, and try to give the edges of the skull some thickness...give 'em a slight blur, too.

The brain should be inside the head, not at the same level with the feathers of the owl.

Lovely poster

interesting interpretation of product..good luck author

LOL

Crab flavored Pringles?!?!?!.. WOW!.. very inventive chop author, good luck

author, if you were going for a cut and paste look you may want to add a gentle drop shadow below each section to give it more of that type of look (simple Trompe-l'Å“il) also cropping the images perfectly square (90 degree) to give a bit of consistency would make it more balanced IMHO, nice idea and good luck (Photoshop contests seem to demand a bit more work for higher scores, but I commend you for your effort)

The head is a bit "greenish" in tone, compared with the rest of the image. Perhaps a warming filter at a low opacity would help it blend better.

the head is not blended with the rest of the image.

LOL!!!

You have to have SBS if from scratch

very funny!

Playful, fun, wonderful color.. this is just awesome author.. good luck!!!!

I like the drawing style & the colors you used.

Very nice use of the source, GL!

If you want to keep the cloud render background...you could possibly enlarge it considerably and then blur the _ _ _ _ out of it. Sorry...I mean blur it a lot.

very nice, GL!

you can make the paint brush flames better if you use smudge brush on them

SBS?

I agree with greymval about the hand.

Finding a stock with a hand for handling the sword, would improve the quality of your entry.
You could also think of a different background since cloud render is too obvious here. GL

Technically your source wont be valid, its someone elses artwork....kind of a grey area though. Loving the choice of artist though, NWA

You think outside of the box! GREAT JOB!

simply effective GL

hehehe.. nice one author.., =-)

beautiful....................

Very beautiful!

Nice! Really good! =)

good luck

yeah, this entry needed some blending.. but anyway it's very good idea. gl

I really liked this, but then I took a look at the high rez and was a lil disappointed by the halo around the tuba player and the lighting on him doesn't match the room as well. If you just fixed those few things, it would be super awesome! Nice work otherwise, fun atmosphere.

really really good job...well done author
edit:i will suggest some blending layers...dark blue overlay and dark brown color layer...good luck

Awesome !

nice entry

hmm simplistic yet cool

Very clean looking design. good luck with this
