Light is the bright stuff you see in the sunlight; shadows are the thing following you -in the sunlight --see? simples Now that I have straightened out your confusion, you can move ahead with confidence........ or not note: yes I retained the sigs I liked to look upon....hairy legged guys not so much

Kitty Soules , nice "lumppy-ness" , light to dark gradation is well done. At another time, some stars would help offset the monochromatic feel of the background. Regardless, I like the work, keep sending in more. Goonfella well executed moon. the combination with your prior earth is stunning. I'll have to give your technique a try.....as soon as I figure out the original tuit (No, it is not the tuit -its me pudgy fingers and small brain) cweber54 well done on both, your "earth" shows a very fine since of color and glow-wild background too.

Well, Hello avatar, Welcome! nice to see you. You are looking very fine in those colors, and nice roundness. Oh, and say am, welcome, as well, to your human when your see 'em next.

Wow so many great entries, thanks for making it ....Not Easy

Congratulations to Goonfella well done.

Thank you Spectre an' Cc4fuzzyhuggles for your inputs and viewpoints. As previously stated this was an old shelved project/idea (translation : to see what would happen if...) I appreciate you comments and will look forward to incorporating the jest of them into a future project.... .Now, Shinny fang? glow-y eyes? fuzzy smokie edging? egad! Its all so fun and then if I were to just.......

Well Done very clear and concise

OK I did this a long time ago--hows that for trying to deflect criticism? Regardless I liked the concept and had a plan, back then. I give you... PURRRR be gentle o reader, viewer for though my armor is strong, my heart is like the dawn- hopeful and full of promise but only a short time there. Wm. Scooterspire

Oh bye the bye, I really like it, as well. The rocks at the base of the (deep base voice here) STAAR GAAAATE and the buffalo is spectacular. The color of the two elements is dead on. The blur of the speeding flyers is fast. You can almost hear the thunder of the hooves as they charge Knowing you work very hard on your creations, I'll mention a small thing, that may have slipped your notice as you created your work. The buffalo element shows at the extreme left two BB's (buffalo butts). If thay could be removed, the "look" of the buffs would be all concentrated into the gate. In the last two of your creations, you seem the have developed an affinity for Buffs i.e., buffalos ( the B-52 is unofficially called a "buff" , tho that is an acronym -big ugly fat fellow (this, the clean version for girls of a certain young age ) Good Work on both

RFX well crafted design. The background is "design-y" enough to carry its self, but with it being an illustration of something, gives it a plus. The textover is both inspiring (content) and legible. As to the legibility point, I am not so much of a fan of black outlying, in this case. I feel you could have chosen another dark color within the color pallet of the whole signature. As it is, the black is only in the outline and becomes a bit of a discordant color over powering the rest That said I do like the submission. Cc4fuzzHuggles , WOW! the psychedelic 60's are BACK!! -Right On -man! This is so wild, but well constrained by your solid borders. The text reads easily and cleanly and keeps the wild colorfulness as a vibrant background. As do the two curved lines helping control the effect. Well Done. Cc4fuzzHuggles , 1 RFX 0

Well thank you for this. Most interesting.

Congratulations to all of you winners, you can be justifiably proud of your entrys.

Scott Besides the excellent, help in the forums, is the book Mastering Paint.NET 3.5.10 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009IFBA5W a very inexpensive, but worth while download. This Kindle edition, from a very knowledgeable author, whose exploits and nearly limitless knowledge of Paint.Net, are legendary. No other PDN "how to" books are in the same class. NO, I am not the author, but I know who he is. Regardless, keep on practicing and reading the help pages and asking forum members questions, we enjoy helping and want to see you succeed. "The only dumb question is the one you didn't ask"

Gota agree, very well done. Good job on the water/ land blend and the additional elements are (wait for it......) Outa this world!

[Deep bass voice from the background] "See the Planet Pachyderm! rise over Raging Elephants! trampling poor widdle budgies... [panicked people screams fading out] Eeewww! SERIOUSLY: Great Job! I understand the duel focus question; is it art? or realism? could go ether way. Your choice is, by definition, the correct one. The idea of night scene is integrating as well. Your darkening of the elephants is a great way to meet the light/dark variation in the two pictures. Over all, top drawer.

Well Great! first you show up throwing you talented self on to my computer screen and now you compile your stuff into a gallery....WELL! Seriously (just for the mo. though) GREAT Work. Good to see you have started a gallery. I join the others in enjoying your pictures (your Stargate is vastly improved, and at least you have a smile vs the luddites next to you ) tootles

I am truly and most humbly grateful for all you responses. To have a success, while being challenged by such a major talent as nitenurse, is most surprising to me. Thank You .

Skullbonz Nicely done!, very subtle integration from one picture to the other. ..........The pack of cigarettes IS what you added isn't it?

First, feel free to copy the LMO smile I got it off a "emoticons for free" web site. second, ought I send send "nappies" with my messages? don't want to make you feel reticent about reading my messages third ; 5 years? no wonder I'm so far behind - you've been practicing!! I'd send you a bribe to teach me your secrets, but with the exchange rate you'd be gettin' shorted ( shocking, I know) Best wishes on your exams. Keep adding to your portfolio as you can, it'll cut down on the stress

First a quick: Thank You for the valued input for my effort. I shall take it to heart and see what I can do to incorporate and improve. On to todays entrys : MikeRobe; What a intense showing, is it metal folds seen close up? light ed cables flailing about? Micro magnetic particles shifting around? regardless very creative and well executed. My least favorite is the right hand circular object as it is more sharply defined than the others, giving a slight feel (to me) of not belonging with the others. OK OK I like it :star: :star: Cc4FuzzyHuggles: I am in awe of how you melded the colors into a soft flow. The verticals give a strength to the picture keeping the "too fuzzys" at bay. Visually the flower adds a nice touch of soft curves with hints of color keeping it "in" the picture. The center, I feel, is too bright almost like a halogen head light and works against the rest to the picture. So much I like about this :star: :star: MikeRobe :star: :star: 5 Cc4FuzzyHuggles :star: :star: 4

ScifiGirl: Good job. Well done adding the attractive face to the "new girl". Your new figure has a very nice,realistic overlap of the base picture. As well as being in proportion to the others. If I may be so bold to offer a few points to consider on you next project?......If You don't want to hear them just ignore me--many in my house do add just a hint of highlight to the edge of new girls uniform to separate it from base pic. guy add a touch of blur to new girls hair to minimize the sharp contrast with base pic. see what you can do to to increase the new girls face, in the area of brightness/contrast and tweaking the color to better emulate the other faces In the, "getting far afield-but what the heck" catagory you could look at the idea of cutting/reversing/pasting about 1/3d of the base picture over to the right side of your work. this would give you a background for new girl and not have her cut off at the edge Regardless, your initial effort is very good and worth the effort you put into it. It "checks off' most of the boxes on any projects to do list. Keep on drawing, you have a good eye for this.
