Durrie!

I love this sudden fascination of yours. They are so pretty and amazing.

1 & 2: First one is very good. I love your editing. My only problem is that I see a fuzzy patch near the wings as if you've tried to cover it up. I would suggest you to zoom into that spot and make sure it doesn't end up too fuzzy as I can differentiate between the sharp fur and the fuzzy bit easily.
Second: not my fave. That's because the colour you've used doesn't project the image. I hope you get my drift.)

3&4 : Purple! So pretty! But I do see a second antenna not visible in the original. What's that? And a slight increase in the brightness of the flowers would look good too.

Anyway, keep up the good work.
Cheers,

Hi Durrie! Good to see more artwork from you. I think I like these a lot better then your other ones; these are cleaner and more focused.

1 - Amazing. On your other photos, I knew they had been digitally manipulated. However, this one looks entirely natural, like the butterfly wings actually belong to the fox.


2 - Eh. I can see what you're trying to do here, but It didn't work. You went a little overboard with the neon pink effect, and I can't really see a thing; the dog looks a big lump. A positive thing is that the wings look great.


3 - Lovely. I like how you got the purple highlights in the wings, and the tint just seems to compliment the mood of the picture. The cobwebs seem to stick out more, and that creates a really cool effect. A downside is that I hate how blurry the background is. Couldn't it be sharpened a little bit more?


4 - This one seems, well, kind of plain. It's a lovely shot, but there isn't anything special to rave about-it's much better in purple.

Anyway, you've got some really nice artwork, and please be sure to let me know when you post more.

Guys, the fourth one isn't mine. I just posted it because that's what I got the wings off

Project set by Firearris. I want a marbled polecat! I think I went a bit overboard, but here's the result.

Hi again, Durrie! Nice! This is another great piece of work, but it definitely isn't on par with your other work. This one seems a bit too busy. You've got the name, the flowers, the stars and the button-heart thing. It all takes away from what the focus of the picture should be; the polecat. Also, the wings aren't too good. From first glance, it appears as those the wings are on top of the polecat; make them blend a little more. Otherwise, not bad. It's just too cluttered.

Ullo Durrie!

I love how you use photoshop (or whatever program it is:) ), it's so... experimental! :D It's fun to see your works and all I can really say is keep up the experimenting, because all your works are pretty fab! It also results in new styles and ways of doing things, so it's always a positive.

Any'oo keep it up,
Ben

Hey Durrie!

I have to agree with Elinor. This doesn't seem as impressive as the other ones.
Well, first, the colour of the wings have to be changed. It doesn't complement this picture.
If you really wanted to keep the 'Polecat' in the pic, maybe give it more transparency.
The buttons are cute, yes, but the heart on white need to be removed. I guess that's the major distracting element here. The buttons are okay compared to the heart.
Otherwise, good work.

PM me if you put more of these up.
Cheers,
