pcrdds Superb!

PSMandrake great work! but it is news so important? of 2011.

funkwood Thanks!

News is news, does it have to be important?

PSMandrake haha thank you! I ask because I have not understood the guidelines for this contest ..... I thought only news, as the death of bin Laden .... etc. ....
but I translated it incorrectly in my language .....

Sunshin3 Amazing work, great lighting and shadows, colorful and creative!

diamonds Fantastic!

BOULPIX great job !

geriatric Nice work.

balodiya Superb

rajeshstar this is really good

Disasterman111 Another great chop!

NewsMaster Would make a great poster!
me likey!

qtrmoonshop Excellent work, great perspective and the caricatures, the colors, and the lighting FX are wonderful!
The only thing I find confusing is why there are two characters of equal size and prominence in the image, when the title suggests that it's all about Cruise? (poor Ving

) P.S. who's that guy in the sunglasses, and what in tarnation is he doin' there? LOL)

pcrdds Silver congrats, F!

PSMandrake congratulations teacher!

PSMandrake Who said qtrmoonshop?

geriatric Congratulations.

qtrmoonshop Silver Congrats FNKWD . . . Emphasis on Excellent!

funkwood Thanx guys! That's Tom Cruise QT. Guess I lost a bit of the likeness in the caricaturization... I'm no RWPike yet, but working on it, lol!

deaddog Congrats Funkster! Just saw Mission Imposible 20! lol Love it!

qtrmoonshop Both caricatures are great Funk . . . I was referring to the unwanted reflection in Tom's glasses … just a nitpick

see previous PSM comment thread

funkwood hmmm, that's one those things I totally missed....Like the gray line at the bottom of the "Terminator at work" chop.... when u stare at a chop u make for hours sometimes the most obvious things get overlooked....I'll have to work on that one... cut down on the herbs, lol!!

I appreciate u pointing it out tho... that's how we get better at what we do...

PSMandrake reflex is the little man to remind them, that he takes the good: D

oldman Beautiful work Funkwood. It's all there for sure!..........and you gotta watch the herb......
