Great entry, but what happened to the bottom of the coin stacks on the right?

elemare [lvl 15] [vp 1000] [ 44]:

Fun! I particularly like the far skipping coin. The reflections of the stacks on the left are wonderful! The right side lacks the sharp definition of the left side, though.

wazowski [lvl 15] [vp 2000] [ 232]:

Nice clean image (mmmcan I say sth about the light and all? Light from up left, so would be the same for the coins).

fladogtrainer [lvl 1] [vp 0] [ 0]:

Good job on this. The only thing I see that needs improvement are the stacks on the others. Love the reflections.e right. You have a pattern going on. Just change one of the stacks so it doesn't look so similar to the other

good work

elemare [lvl 15] [vp 1000] [ 44]:

Not sure what's going on here, but wouldn't straight "teeth" lend credence to the Munch title?
(145 days ago)

wazowski [lvl 15] [vp 2000] [ 232]:

Quite some work, looks a bit like a wood carve illustration, nice. It could do with some 3D-improvements (if it was the author's purpose to make the creature 3D-like)

I'm rating this high because of the hard work put into it. I guess this 'creature' is a money maker. lol.

Good idea, well done.
(145 days ago)

elemare [lvl 15] [vp 1000] [ 44]:

Just too cute. Edges of some of the warps could have been masked or "protected" a bit more to avoid unintended distortion.
(145 days ago)

wazowski [lvl 15] [vp 2000] [ 232]:

Original! Maybe some shadows from the eyeballs on the coins, but in fact it doesn tbother me the wy it is now. Nice !
(145 days ago)

borj_c [lvl 13] [vp 67] [ 1]:

cute. but it can still be more realistic. try blending in colors to the stacks too.

2nd coinpile from the left is very nice, the rest looks smudged and blurred

its just like the penny's reaction about d image.. penny: "wooaaah..." very nice
(141 days ago)

fladogtrainer [lvl 1] [vp 0] [ 0]:

This is very clever and cute as can be. I like the colors and the warping. The eyes do look a bit 'floaty'. Good job.
(140 days ago)

bjaockx [lvl 11] [vp 1000] [ 102]:

th only thing i can say besides, freakin sweet! is that the yellow eyed stack in the middle is messing up the blue eyed stack behind it. separating each stack into individual layers would keep the warp effect from altering background objects.

nice entry just the bubble should have so much white inside, they are more transperent. Otherwise really nice entry
(142 days ago)

laulei [lvl 26] [vp 1000] [ 126]:

Another very nice entry, although I would reverse horizontally the stack of coins on the (viewers) left.

very nice

unkskitty [lvl 12] [vp 1000] [ 29]:

I really like the color of the coins and the light playing on them. Nice touch. Still some masking issues around the coins edges.

much better

graphicalimpressions [lvl 5] [vp 1000] [ 9]:

Hey, that's pretty...I think the bubbles are a little big though...And a couple stacks of coins off in the distance would probably lend some perspective...But a great pic...

Much better on this one. WTG

fladogtrainer [lvl 1] [vp 0] [ 0]:

The fish looks too sharp compared to the coins. The coins should be sharp and the fish should be softer. Good job though.

bjaockx [lvl 11] [vp 1000] [ 102]:

probably the best one so far... great eye for detailing.

underwater treasure - created by catia

underwater scene and college in the treasure

this entry has 14 comment(s)

laulei [lvl 26] [vp 1000] [ 126]:

I love this underwater scene and would love to know which tutorial you used for this. If you didn't use an already existing tutorial, you should write one, the result is fantastic. I think if the treasure chest were larger or made to look farther away would make this entry even better.

top secret nice one...

CMYK 46 [lvl 20] [vp 1000] [ 44]:

Good job, but instead of sea bottom, you have a water surface?

elemare [lvl 15] [vp 1000] [ 44]:

So appealing! Great effect. Treasure chest is a nice touch, but the size needs adjustment for right proportion. Nice job!
(145 days ago)

wazowski [lvl 15] [vp 2000] [ 232]:

Nice, but try to make some more interaction between the water&light and the coins itself. Right now it's still a bit too pasted. Perhaps it would work better already if you'd move the treasure more backward where the lights reach the bottom and add more effect with help from some extra layers in blending mode. Certainly worth the time and experience

Ps always an honour if sb mentions my name. To speak for myself: according to the level the entry's in I give comments (if needed). The higher the level, the more i guess I can expect from the author. What sb does with the comment is up to that person, But as far as I'm concerned my comments are mostly not to burn sb down (on the contrary), unless the work really doesnt show any sign of willing to go further with PS. For the rest: sorry author that I used this entry for sth totally offtopic

CMYK 46 is doing nothing wrong. He is making, good, excellent suggestions.
(145 days ago)

johnink [lvl 4] [vp 108] [ 19]:

He started with "Good job." That's better than ussual. It's good to get some advise that's not candy coated every once in a while. Keeps you level headed. Anyhow, great work on the picture. If the light were to fall on the coins, it would probably be more compelling still. For those wondering, here's a similar tutorial: http://9tutorials.com/2007/12/02/feather-under-the-water-a-beautiful-effect.html You should be able to find one for the beams as well.

unkskitty [lvl 12] [vp 1000] [ 29]:

Ok, seperate corners! As for the topic at hand... Nice image! Could use a little improvement with the masking around the coins and the chest. Maybe align the bubbles so they rise up instead of toward the center... I didn't notice the lack of a bottom, but I think if you could find or make some sand and overlay the water you are using right now that might give a neat effect! Great Start!! (I'll vote later, I agree that this could be top notch with a few improvements and is such a nice design I hope you take the extra effort)
(143 days ago)

fladogtrainer [lvl 1] [vp 0] [ 0]:

I think the idea is good and I like the water and light. This pic would be much better if you used a photo of a real treasure chest instead of this cartoonish one. The coins are real and so the chest should be. (just my opinion). Also, the perspective is off between the coins and the chest and anything that has been sitting on the bottom of the ocean has sand on it.
