Guys, let's get the comments going again XD

I actually liked the bringing out of blacks on her face, but it was that left side that I felt didn't work. Because you've got such a dark area, with so little happening over it, it literally is empty space, and just feels a little bit too empty.Battle with moments. I think people didn't like how I brought out the blacks, but I personally liked the addition.
but I can't really always apply my LP methods to tags since there's usually more than just one stock image I'm blending when I'm making them.
Well, I guess, as I'm going to say to moom also, is that people see art so differently it's ridiculous. So you might see something in the piece you enjoy that others don't haha. But anyway I'm glad that you like the abyss piece. As for the crit, I'm not happy with the overall concept, but I see what you mean, I just needed to blend it all a bit more, and that's how I was trying to achieve it. But I'll be sure to think about placement in future.abyss_by_gavzxhayley-d47sl4l.png
I love this piece, Gav. The colors, the composition, everything! Moo might've said it is kinda easy to create pieces which involve the focal to be situated in space and stuff, but what you've done here is still much better than anything I could've come up with. The only things that bugs me are the planets hovering near her hands. Those seem out of place.

I really like how you've recreated Ezio. The colors are really nice as well. But yeah, like I said on FB, this piece is a little too distorted for my tastes. I don't know much about Salvador (nothing, in fact), but this style isn't really all that appealing to me. Guess I've began liking mainstream stuff too much and its just me..
It was kind of meant to wave around him, like he was a being with power? I guess. And I admit my concept wasn't great, so I might take out Ezio and do it again with a new background. So I think I'll work on that again.I am very familiar with Dali, did a massive project on him in school and is definitely my favourite traditional artist. I think the point that I was trying to make, but perhaps didn't get out properly is that it doesn't feel like there is any obvious concept here from a removed perspective. Dali's actual subject content was made liquified which had some sort of interpretative meaning behind it, I can't see any sort of underlying messages within making Ezio, and a fairly flat, coloured background liquified. I think what could've worked better in keeping with this style is to have made Ezio more abstract and distorted. The fact that his face and everything is in tact, but only the edges of him are liquified feels a little forced. Also, now taking into consideration your aim, I can definitely appreciate it more and see what you were going for, but the fact that it isn't really fitting to normal codes, the liquify feels forced as well. If you look at Dali's 'The Persistence of Memory' (melting clocks), you see that they still fit into realistic physics, they turn into liquid, and thus fall down under gravity. Your liquifying doesn't seem to fit a code, and feels a little too random and not really structured.
As I said, now that you've mentioned that you were going for abstract, I can definitely appreciate this piece more, but it doesn't have the same obvious and depth that Dali included. And of course he was ridiculously talented, but I feel that if you were trying to reflect elements of his style, this possibly wasn't the clearest / easiest subject and background to work that in to.
