capriccio

Beautiful colors!! I love the eyes and lips especially. Wonderful job!

No way! This is the most awesome thing I think I've seen. Each of these just keeps getting better and better. But this just takes the cake. Great job and awesome creativity. :)

She looks gorgeous, whoever she is! Her skin looks so realistic. Very nice coloring as well as manga-fying. Love it!

Awesomely done. All that masking around the neckline must have taken hours. Wonderful coloring and manga-fying. :)

Wow wow wow. Just... wow. I love it! Perfect 10 :)

Congrats Pelican! This one was really close!

Thanks Cap! Actually I have the same pose from behind and the back of her dress (what little there is) is in there. link

Ah!! Thanks for that link - I couldn't figure out where the dress went after it went over the shoulders. Great job still - I thought this one might be yours. ;)

That mesh is impressive but you left the back of the dress out. The purple dress on the left needs to be a bit smoother. Awesome job on the shoes, especially the bone/lighter colored ones. Very nice job overall. :)

Wonderful!!! I love the boldness and the concept is so unique and refreshing. Great job. :)

I had a feeling this was you! You got the highest score I gave in all three contests. :)

Your school sure is skimpy on the paper for diplomas, lol! I like the raised hand - like in triumph. But there is a lot of noise. Either lower the ISO or bring in some more light to fix that - the graininess really detracts.

Actually there IS a little more but I covered it all up with mist at the last minute because I became aware that adding "extra" painting (mist, lightning, ghosts) would be acceptable. I'm starting to regret that! If I had known about that from the beginning no problem but I shouldn't have tried to add something last minute like that - you can't see my brown leaves, every one painted separately or the detail of the "moldy" gravestones I painted. :(

Ah well! Another time. :) Thanks, Cap!
Here's the unmisty, if you like![/quote]

Nice :) Thanks for sharing!

How did you know that other stuff would be allowed??? I missed that part and now I kind of feel blind-sided that it was expected, it seems. I probably would have dropped out since I would only have wanted to focus on colorization. I wish it had been announced before-hand. :(

Nice solid job. Needs a bit more variation to kick it up a notch, but this is nice work.

Interesting! This must be a Martian church, huh? lol Very spooky, but not very natural looking.

Very cute and spooky. I know it was cleared with an admin but it does go beyond colorization in my book. I love how you did that window, though. Nice job. :)

Nice solid job. The color in the grass is a bit too monotone and needs some variation. Some light effects/overlay color would help bring out the windows and light fixtures.

Very cool chop - that part is quite well-executed. But for the colors, they look a bit unnatural. Too monotone on the grass, sky and building. There should be more subtle variations and not so much saturated color for a natural look.

Ooo - this one looks positively heavenly, literally. It's a bit too bright for a natural look, but i love the color variations in the building and in the grassy areas. very pretty and not at all spooky. :)

Really cool lighting. With it so dark, though, the colors seem a bit too bold and bright, almost unnatural. But that does add to its artistic appeal... just doesn't scream natural.

Lovely!! I really like how you got multiple colors in all the cement, brick and even grass elements. Very stark and spooky. I would suggest a little more colors like yellow or pink in the sky, but overall this is nearly perfect.

Very surreal feeling! I like the building and the glowy red. Not so crazy about the addition and the green areas which are a little all too alike. Nice mood overall. Very spooky.

Nice job! This is so similar to my entry and color choices. I LOVE how you did that tree on the right. Lovely variations. And the stained glass window is very nicely done. :)

Beautiful, Sar!!! I''m sorry I missed this contest. Lovely composition and such a peaceful setting.

We picked some of the same type of colors throughout this one! Nice job. Mine has a different color cast overall, but I do like your choices. The sky is a little too monotone for my taste, and the foreground gravestones seem just a little *too* different from one another (although I think it was a great idea to not do them exactly alike). Nice job. :)

Very spooky! I like the way you did this, but I do feel it isn't in keeping with the contest rules which said not to add elements to the image. Lovely lighting effects, though! As for coloring, I feel the building is far too monotone - all one shade of gray except for where the lights are glowing. And the stained glass window on the right should have more than just red in it, in my opinion. Still, this is definitely the most Halloween-ish of the lot! :)
