First post here with my first "real" manipulation.
I really enjoy spending 18 hours in photoshop to create ONE SINGLE IMAGE and I want to be better, faster (stronger).

Please give constructive critique! //Deklol
 
18 hours to create that image or are you talking of another image?
Welcome.
 
#6 - Thats still a long time on one image, you must have the patience of a saint lol.
 
I agree with steven your shadows are very good nice to see them not overlooked like so many people do or just have them casting in 1 direction yours suit the lighting very well.
 
Hi Deklol, welcome to the forum. You've got talent. You have a nice, clean photographic image. Why don't you tell us a bit about what you manipulated and what took 18 hours, like recognizing errors and starting over and fixing this and fixing that, :D which we've all done! That right eye is eerie. Good work.
 
It is a quality composition, and concept, well done!

I have funnily enough recently been researching Propaganda posters to help with a project ran by a German friend, and one of the examples that I used to base my design on, was something similar to this.

As an image, I like yours much more, keep it up!

Yepp, agree. But it was 18 hours of joy and learning in this case :)

Hehe, well. The main problem was that the ears to the left were to photographed with the "right light". The light came from the opposite direction. I didn't think about it when I photographed the ears, because the idea of having all ears turned to my mouth came when I had all the cut-outs done in photoshop. So what took so many hours was mainly light and shadow for these ears, and they are still not correct. For example the highlights on the ears to the left are blown out, which is too much considering the light on the wall it's stuck to. So light correction, shadows and the fact that I have never done this before and are not used to the technique is the reason for 18 hours I guess :)

Hehe cool! :)
 
Awesome picture Deklol! I imagine it wasn’t easy with all the shadows, but you certainly pulled it off well and the light looks fantastic! The ear in the center on the right side feels a bit off, it might just be because it’s more of a straight on view, but it just feels a bit more detached from the wall compared to the others.
