Looks really cool.

ronald [lvl 16] [vp 999] [ 69]:

Good job, creative, nice colors, but i do have a suggestion. Everythings looks very much mirrored you maybe want to have the parts wich stick out like the antennas to be pointing an other direction. Leaving that aside it looks verry realistic good job.

author:

I used the patch tool and liquify to break up some of the mirroring. good suggestion.

Excellent use of source image and imagination to create not only a great entry but one where the source image is clearly visible. Added to this you have also provided a great SBS. Well done

(72 days ago)

author:

Thanks, played with the background & plants a bit.....by hand with brush, any other ways of doing this?
(72 days ago)

docx [lvl 8] [vp 990] [ 70]:

Very nice entry. To give it a more 3d look use the burntool to add some shadows. Especcially underneath his feet he need some.

All from source image.

Claudiolky [lvl 39] [vp 1000] [ 73]:

can see only the antennas as the PST source.... you can make the other part using an onion, as an example.
Excuse me.

But a fantastic work

pearlie [lvl 6] [vp 0] [ 0]:

Sorry, Claudio, but I beg to differ. I can see the source throughout. This is wonderfully creative. The snail is stretched, stacked, warped, etc. Not sure if it's anatomically correct, but beautiful work. Love the motion, too, author.

misoo83 [lvl 10] [vp 132] [ 0]:

great job
(73 days ago)

ronald [lvl 16] [vp 999] [ 69]:

Yes the source is clearly visable in my eyes, but everyone has a different set of eyes. So it would always be good to have a step by step guide.

Emma81 [lvl 5] [vp 1000] [ 92]:

I can clearly see the source. I think we have a blind member

phantom112175 [lvl 3] [vp 609] [ 12]:

Way cool!!! Sorry Claudioky, while I think you do fantastic work yourself I totally see the source image without a doubt!

Dianas Hunting [lvl 20] [vp 1000] [ 91]:

Great use of imagination combined with a good source makes a brilliant entry - well done

well done

vandy [lvl 17] [vp 18] [ 0]:

First of all Great work, But I think that we have to change the contest in 2 parts.. 1. make a artistic chop from the image and 2nd : photoshop the image, wich include that the original picture has to be visible for at least 40 -50 %. That will stop all the discussions and will give people who are not so good in the artistic way also a better chance...

I've used source photo for all but the eyes, which I rendered and the space background from morguefile.com. Inspired by marzipan candies from my youth.

Dianas Hunting [lvl 20] [vp 1000] [ 91]:

Know what I love about your entry, not only the orginality but the fact that the source has been used to create an entry where the source image is still very much a part of the image and is clearly visible. Well done
(73 days ago)

author:

I have replaced the background image with a similar one. The PST mods questioned my original image and asked for a url which I did not have. That image was used twice before by myself and other PST members and is probably a CD picture file(free of copyright) but since I don't add a bibliography to my picture files I can't show it's origin.Check this forum topic for morehttp://www.photoshoptalent.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3305
