What happened to his sword?

Great minimalist approach to the contest author.. since there is so little time til the contest ends I won't make any suggestions.. great blending work with smooth seams good luck

Congratulations....

Congrats!

Good work on the blending... good luck.

Yikes and Ick! Exactly what this contest calls upon. Good luck author

Nice choice with the "Sepia" tone. I found a tiny edit on the ear of one of the boys. His ear has a white smoodge there... you did a great job with the whole picture. GOOD LUCK (still plenty of time to fix).
Photo repair is such a pain in the neck and you did a great job

Might have been better to remove the orange cast from the source pic & start from there.

Very nice use of the source - well done

The blending is almost seemless on the cow/ horse, but coudlve gone a wee bit more smoother around the neck area by matching the colors/ lighting on the cows side.

And the shadows are near perfect too but the horns appear to have a double shadow effect going on/ appear to be a bit sharper than the rest of the shadows. (also i appreciate the cenorsing of the horses um...other worldly "member" )

I like it though!

Good idea. Blending of hind legs where they join the body could be better.

what a great idea!

Not the Nancy Reagan Chandelier?!?!?!?!.. CRACK CRUNCH SMOOSH and the Anti Oxygen Gum LOL good luck author

Fantastic find for the cat!

Oh, yes! Better than Jack N.!!

you got the perfect expression here

creeppyy... but very good

HEEEEEEEEEEERE's JOHNNY!!!

Great idea. Making the background darker, will make your statue "pop" a little more.

Congrats!!

very fun chop (are the edging problems on purpose?) just looking out for the more picky members who go nuts over final detail, hehehe.. good luck author very cute chop

Very imaginative!

Light on figures is from the left. Light on columns is from the right. Flip one or the other to get the lighting right. Otherwise it's a good blend.
