Tbh, I like that, it's pretty.
Nice job, the female is pretty also.
I like the background/layout style/colo(u)r.
Good job.

 

Thanks. I just fixed a slight problem with the lighting, also.

 

Hey, thats hella pro bro. keep it up. i've liked all the work you have done so far..

 

Yeah. I may seem rare sometimes, but it takes a long time to do each piece, and usually must be highly inspired to be finished I've got a lot of unfinished things because they all do take so long.

 

Great job!

My only bone to pick would be with the contrast and lighting around the facial region- because the contrast fades down, it just seems off, like generic..
:/
It looks like the layer is just pasted over top rather than the girl emerging from the photo. (because the contrast doesn't seem to match)

Other than that, which is no big deal; fantasic idea, and very creative!

 

so this is your dynamic lighting & shadowing on this? looks great, just think the lighting color could be changed a bit more.

 

No, it's not my dynamic light and shadowing. It's just something I thought of last night so I made it today.

Wendy: I get what you mean by the lighting being 'off,' but you should understand that she is supposed to be changing from a portrait to real life, so the coloring of her skin, clothes, and hair all had to be drastic in change. This is her actual skin tone, after she emerges.

Inspired by Photoshop Top Secret?

Regardless, I love the outcome.

 

Nope. I just wanted to do it. I don't know anything about those guys, except that they release intermediate tutorials.
