It seems you have not used the original Last Supper fresco as a source, which is a good decision, as the original fresco is a very poor source. Good work on the hands.

The moustache on grouchochimp needed work, but everything else is great.

The chimp was well done, but thegorilla could have used some work... I am not sure what kind of work though, it just does not look right in that tunic thingy.

Great concept, but you should have concentrated far more on Santa's lips and tie. It would have knocked everything out of the park had you made it as close to the Heath Ledger (or possibly the Jack Nicholson) version as possible.

The concept does not really work here, mostly, I think, because the difference between the colorised and noncolorised parts was not all that great.

you got Natalie's face perfect, but Santa looks kind of dead.

Good choice of colors, but I think Santa would have chosen a contrasting tie, maybe something red to go with the green suit.

You have the right ideas, particularly making Natalie and Santa slightly different colors, but you got those colors wrong, and it made Santa look jaundiced. Good work on the piping of Natalie's dress. Next time you colorise concentrate a bit more on the colors, but your attention to detail was good.

Good job on Santa's face, but his hands and the wallpaper slightly let you down.

Good choice on overalll skin tone on Santa, but his skin color should have been more uneven, as he is one of your more elderly gentlemen The nose, for example could have done with a touch more magenta. And young Natalie Wood should have had rosier cheeks.

It looks like Santa is either made of stone, or dead...

The problem here is that the Joker is not looking at the gift, and Batman's arms are not Batmanish enough... More muscular arms would have been great.

always try to match the existing font, and if you can't do that,then replace the whole phrase with a font that is similar, so it all matches.

Great santa image, but the choice of font spoils it.

The big problem here is, that the source is of bad quality, the Last Supper is not a good source to use, since it is hard to see detail (because it is so old and weathered) and the subjects are so small in it.
