About the lights, they look a bit weird. They're like cut off and looks unnatural. CHeck your 3rd source again, look how the ligths fades away. In fact why dont you use that? Just (roughly) cut out the right part of these rays and put them on the source image, play a bit with the blending modes, perhaps you have to duplicate the layers and see what result you get. Good luck!

That's then another reason that the movie sucked . Nah, up to you. Good luck!

INVASION
avatar wazowski
wazowski says:

The way you made the light now makes the image look flat. You start the rays just above the hills in the clouds, but they are pretty far away (thanks to perspective and such...), but the rays reach till the foreground of the image. Not impossible, I guess but imo still looks flat. Good luck!

Ray of light

wazowski says:

Looking at the sources you used there are quite some details which are hard to see in this version. Is it possible that you add a high resolution too? Good luck!

Evening

I agree with your opinion about the movie . Robots look good, perhaps they can some longer arms so that they're more in proportion with the rest of the body. And it's up to you, but I'd do something more with the background so that you get a more scary/dangerous mood. Maybe dark clouds with an blackwhite gradient on top (so that it looks like there's lights from the city from under) for the sky? Up to you. Good luck!

Nice result, it's believable for sure. Maaaaybe you could make the pine a bit lighter so you see more color (or maaaaybe my screen needs a color check...), but that would be about it. Good luck!

I like the people on the bridge, complements with the air . Personally I would skip the planets (how many tims you've seen them already?) but again, is just my opinion. About the people, the furthest girl is a bit too bright for my taste, is it possible to desaturate her more? Then she may fit better on the bridge. The kid in front could do with some more contrast/ darker, right now it looks a bit too pasted. Up to you. Good luck!

Bridge Beyond

wazowski says:

Do I understand well, that you put the moon's reflection on the left side of the image, while the moon self is on the right side? Not sure if that's logic. Good luck!

What erikuri says. No problem that you use the liquify tool to make a waterfall, but keep the horizon line straight (or just as it is in the source image). Mood is ok, though perhaps a bit weird to see a moon in front of the clouds. Good luck!

THis could have been done by Magritte, though perhaps he wouldnt have used a lens flare and rainbow colored ladder. For the rest pretty good on theme. Good luck!

Interesting image, but for some reason the V-for-Vendetta mask looks a bit off imo. Maybe for the composition was better of the clownfish in front was more to the left under corner to get a better balance. But ok, just my opinion. Good luck!

@KingRafox: check The Abyss . @ author: nice & mysterious, what I might miss is some interaction between that liquid creature and the water (reflection, splashes, things like that). Good luck!

Funny . The sunbathing gulls look a bit dead now, is it an idea to put their head a bit more down just as you would have it if your backhead is leaning against a matras (I mean that the chin would be on the body)? Perhaps then the look more relaxed. Good luck!

Nice mood, maybe you can make it look a bit less symmetrical (unless it's on purpose, of course). Good luck!

Pretty ok effect, not sure what to think of that object on the left side (though I like how you made the base of it). Good luck!

The colors are nice, but the shadows don work for me. Right now they make the image flat, not sure if that's what you want. Good luck!

Nice source pick, but if you're able to recover the person's original skin under the birds image, would be nice. Right now it looks a bit blurry. Good luck!

Fly Away with Me
avatar wazowski
wazowski says:

Funny creature . Apart from above comments, I'd recommend to use the texture of the source image to fill the creature's body/head and the leaf. If you do so, then try not to overstretch the texture (thought that's personal, I like it if the texture is still recognizable). Good luck!

"He", "him"...who you people talk about?!
@Author: funny image, light source seems to look ok. If possible, try to make the edges from the girl somewhat sharper, the source you used is really very sharp, right now it looks a bit blurry. Good luck!

Not bad, but would have been better if you could hide the surfboard from the external source better. Maybe with a color correction or just masking. Good luck and have fun here!

Not bad idea, but I'd make the shadow under the car differently. Right now it looks like it's pasted on the rearviewmirror. Check your source image to see how the shadow should be done. Good luck!

I think there are people in the streets who walk with such hairdo (emo, or whatever they'd like to call themselves...) . Good luck!

avatar wazowski
wazowski says:

Funny, but I'm not completely convinced about the background. Maybe it's because the bg has another horizon (compared to the camel), but not sure...if you'd like to could try another background with a lower horizon (or no visible horizon at all). Good luck!

Funny characters , you may like to create some more hairy edges for the fur instead that they're or too sharp or fade away. Good luck!

wazowski says:

Not bad, I like the hairdo on his head. The nose and mouth can do with some more definition. Also, imo the skin is a bit too much liquified, I'm pretty sure that you dont need that much liquifying to create the right skin. If you still like to use it, then try to liquify in a same certain "flow" as a real skin would be. Good luck!

Nice colors and indeed the reflections look good too. I think this might look even better if you gave the red armour a side/thickness so that it has real depth. But ok, up to you. Good luck!

Funny idea. Maybe I wouldnt expect darker shadows there where 2 shadows cross each other, since it's all from a same light source. Good luck!

Ok, duplicate the face layer, go to filter-other-highpass, just press ok when you see the window and then put the blending on overlay or soft (perhaps also lower the opacity a bit, depends what the result will be). Good luck!
