JUDGES SCORES
 Era
Sam
I love your choice of colours and the photo. I love the background and the text goes well with it and the red eyes also compliment the 'supernatural' theme you were going for. However the cutting of the main picture is a tiny bit choppy and you should try to use the eraser tool sometimes to make the edges smoother.
8/10
Bayonsay
I really love the fine cutting here and the wings look really awesome and realistic. The picture choice of Bey is great too. But from next time make sure to choose a background picture whose lighting is not difficult to match unlike this one. It also reduces the impact the main figure of the image can have as lighting is very important.
7.5/10
felixdawson
I love the whole atmosphere of the picture; very Lana tbh. The cutting is fine and I love the feather effects. I love how her dress uses the painting effect like her wings. But once again the lighting in the background picture needs to be matched and since the source of light here is behind her she should've been a little bit darker with a light highlight or sth but that's the details. What you did is really really great for Round 1.
8/10
Dancehall
Your entry looks the most realistic. Almost as it it was a real photo which is very hard to achieve so that's really great. The cutting is great and I also like the rain effect. It is a bit simplistic on the effects front as compared to other entries but that's no biggie and not necessarily a bad thing as well. Great job!
9/10
HausOfLuke
The background and the details you added to it are great and very atmospheric. However you could've chosen a much better picture of Marina for the purpose. The cutting of the hair is very choppy and the brightness is high and contrast low whereas it should be the opposite. The smoky effect was a great touch but could've been executed better. Still a pretty good first round entry tho!
6.5/10
skwonderfactory
Love the space theme and the little wings and the halo. The colour is great too but some shade of grey or blue would've worked better imo. That's not an issue tho but since you can still see some bits of the background in her hair it becomes obvious. Try using eraser to remove the bits of background from the hair and also to give the cut-out a finer finish.
7.5/10
ririfan21
I loved this picture a lot on the first look but then I noticed the cross watermarks. You know you can use many tools to erase them and can easily find alternative pictures without them. However the cutting is great and the picture choice is perfect and the entry is very well executed so I won't reduce too much due to the background this time.
8/10
GouldKaty
The theme you were going for is great and the picture choice matches that too. However you need to take care of proportion of objects and the main figure and size accordingly. Also since most of the background is red you should've used a red filter on Katy. But I would've preferred a background which matches her indeed rather than a red one. Also Katy was the character I chose in Season 2 so I have high expectations haha. j/k. Good effort tho!
6/10
Brunette Ambition
I LOVE this one. The cutting is great. the theme is amazing and you have done so many details which I always love. I love the arrowhead tail, the horns, the wounds and the rebel heart wired face effect. The background is cool and the lighting is almost perfectly matched as well so really well done! Only one thing is try choosing more realistic stock photos from next time
9/10
Itskorbitch
This is another really great entry. I love the execution and it would've been a perfect promo banner for 'Alien' had it been a single. The cutting is amazing and you even managed to remove the background parts between her hair which is great and your use of filters to make both pictures blend together is amazing as it's really important to know such tricks, however you should avoid overusing them. I assume you changed her eye colour as well which is a great touch. The border completes the picture as well!
9.5/10
Element
Sam – This is a very cool piece! I examined your cutting up close, and your attention to details is stellar. The erasures are rarely, if ever, choppy, and you really cleaned out the background well. I love the overall arrangement of the design. The colorization is unique, and it works for your theme; however, I do want to note that by using fantasy colors, it is easier to mask any imperfections and blending errors. That being said, this is a very strong start. 8.5/10
Bayonsay – Overall, great colorization and cutting. Beyoncé really looks like she would belong in this scene. I absolutely adore the wings – you’ve made her into a stunning and haunting mythological figure. She reminds me of the hippogriffs from Harry Potter. The only thing that really bugs me is that the image is a tad over-processed. The contrast and exposure seem off, and it makes Beyoncé look like a CGI character. 8.5/10
Felixdawson – This entry is absolutely fantastic. It looks like a famous painting that I would see in a museum. You have created a beautifully paradoxical atmosphere – dripping with philosophical contemplation, yet shimmering with terrestrial luxury and riches. My major complaints are in the details around Lana: there seem to be some issues with the coloring of her face, and I think the cutting could have been a little smoother. You will be a huge force in this competition. 9.5/10
Dancehall – A solid entry from you. However, knowing your work from season two, I would say that you have plenty more to show us. The cutting is a little rough around the edges. However, the composition and colorization is done pretty well. I would have liked to see her face be a bit darker. It looks like someone put the flash on and it only hit her face. I am excited to see what you come up with next round! 7.5/10
HausofLuke – Welcome back to the competition this season! This entry is definitely a step in the right direction from where you left off in season two. I love the theme that you were going for, and it looks like your cutting was done pretty well. Marina’s hair is the major place of concern; however, I understand that hair can be difficult to work with in Photoshop. It also looks like you adjusted Marina’s proportions in a bizarre manner, so be mindful of that in the future. 5.5/10
skwonderfactory – This is an ambitious entry, especially with the palette you chose. On the bright side, your cutting is pretty well done. There are some spots around the hair that you should have hidden or blended better. I think the problem here is your choice in background. Sometimes, it is better to go for something a little more subtle and neutral. This celestial background and its vibrant color just highlight the errors that you made, whereas a darker, smoky background, for example, could have nullified them. The wings were a nice touch, but I wish they were also a more neutral color. 4.5/10
ririfan21 – What an improvement from zombie Beyoncé! I really like this. Your blending and colorization looks pretty good. The cutting could have been a little better, specifically around her arms and the top of her hair. I also wish that you hadn’t left the stock image tags, but I guess the scattered lines can work as a design element! Overall, a solid job. 7/10
Gouldkaty – I give you an A for effort and vision. However, this manipulation definitely needs some improvement. It looks like Katy was just stuck in the image without much blending or appropriate adjustments. The image overall is very low quality, so keep that in mind moving forward – choose HQ images to work with. If you can take your creativity and learn/apply more technique to that, you will improve. 4/10
Brunette Ambition – The colorization and shading is on point, and I really love this composition. You added many effects and objects to the scene, and they are all blended pretty well. My major complaint is the cutting. You can see that the edges of Madonna’s body and the globe are choppy, albeit you tried to cover them pretty well. 8/10
itskorbitch – I am LIVING for this entry. You really brought it with this manipulation. The palette is gorgeous. I love the eyebrow removal, and I adore the eye color change. This is a great example of how subtle colors and backgrounds can elevate a design. I really zoomed in on your entry to find mistakes, and I honestly could not find anything to complain about. Your cutting is probably the best of the bunch. Bravo. 10/10
phoenixstar
Sam- I love your cutting technique. It is so amazing to see perfect cutting. The color is actually amazing. The title "Supernatural" actually suits the atmosphere of the picture, so well done. My issue is a background, You may have used google "Galaxy" for that and i think you should try a little bit more harder with background choice. But other than that, it is good start, well done. 9/10
Bayonsay - The coloring could have been better. The cutting is kinda badly affected by the lightining, so next time, i suggest you to choose the dark background so that it can blended beautifully. The efect that you have done on Beyonce make her look more... cartoon? which is slightly let down for me. I hope you will understand your mistake and do you best for the next challenge. 6/10
felixdawson - This is absolutely gorgoeous. Everything is so detailed. Like, the falling feather, etc (LOL). But was there any difficulty while making coloring, because i can see some darkness of lana's forehead. Must be coloring error. But other than that, The atmosphere of the picture is so beautiful that i could have mistaken this as an official picture. Seriously, what an awesome start from you. 10/10
dancehall - Your work in season II was absolutely and to see this, it is kinda downgrade to me. I mean, the cutting around edge is little bit terrible. This is kinda unrealistic. I mean, think of this, Everything is so dark except her face.. It is like there were papparazi around her taking camera flashes on her. I hope you will do better in next round. 6/10
HausofLuke - You could have done a better job with this. Even i know that cutting around hair is hard, but this is really bad. And what is with that bad retouching editing. It is like, you saw burn tool and want to try it all over place, i mean, if that is not enough, then why is there no shadow. that ugly doll looks so fake as it was just badly done work or you got lazy and gave up. wooo lemme promote online kindness, I think you have lot of potential to show, so step up in next game. 4/10
skwonderfactory - so PINK! Too PINK! Anyway, so first thing i saw is that her hair is not cut properly, you can see some grey background around her hair which is bd to show to judges. You should think about the coloring choice, especially the background and the wing. You should have gone for maybe light color, i think. The halo seems fake to me. But i guess it kinda work for her. Try your best for next one. 5/10
ririfan21 - The first thing that slightly pissed me off was that watermark, you should have chosen a better background to go with because i really like the concept. And i think you should have chosen better picture of Nicki, because this one is unflattering as Nicki looks like pregnant. 5/10
GouldKaty - I know this one. It is like, You had concept or vision in your mind, right? Then you start working on it. Just like us, except that yours didn't turned out great. If you want me to give you a proper criticism (constructive, obviously), you can leave me a wall message. That model should have been smaller, not this big. The shadow should be down since both of the light are falling down on her. The font could have been better. 3/10
Brunette Ambiton - I actually liked it the moment i saw this. It is so on point, everything really worked. All the manipulation work well and blended pperfectly. But the sitution is that the cutting is a little terrible. But a good start. 8/10
Itskorrbitch - I really loved this. So amazing and dark and mysterious. Would have been a great Alien album cover, atleast. Everything worked. The eye removal, the coloring, etc. But My small issue is that cutting, check the hair on the left next to planet, you didn't cut it properly, which leave to that dark spot. 9.5/10
Nnmmo
Before I score, I just wanna say that a HUGE factor of my judging went to the question 'does it look real'. So I scored the entries a lot based on that.
Sam - 9.5
I LOVE IT. The cutting is very neat. Nothing to criticise on that.
I love the effects and shadows that you added.
It screams Kesha which I LOVE.
This could honestly be her new album cover. I like it much more than Warrior tbh.
Good job.
Bayonsay - 10
DOPE.DOPE.DOPE.DOPE
I LOVE IT.
The cutting out is PERFECT. Like .. even the hair.
I honestly can't tell that Bey was added to the background. If I saw this on twitter or something I would have thought that it was a photoshoot outtake.
The leafs is what got me to give you a 10 tbh.
Brilliant.
Felixdawson - 7
The cutting is very neat. I like it.
The background and Lana go really well with eachother.
It kinda looks like she has a third wing tbh. Or whatever that white thing near her head is.
To me it looks like something has been cut out and just left like that.
If you zoom in you can also see that the wings don't look attached to her back so it makes it look less 'real'.
Overall it still looks very good.
Dancehall - 9.5
I have to say that out of all the entries, this one looks the realest.
I love the 'catwoman' idea and the background fits perfectly.
I was gonna give this a 10, however, if you look closely, you can tell that the cutting is not as perfect as it could be. Especially on her hair and right hand, you can tell that it's not very clean.
I wish that you would've took more time to perfect that.
Otherwise your entry is amazing and a 9.5 is still a score to be proud of
HausOfLuke - 6.5
I like the idea.
The cutting is good-ish. It's not perfect and in some parts it looks sloppy. Especially on that little puppet thingy that you added.
Her head looks like it's been tilted or streched to the back.
A little tip: make sure that the lighting looks the same in the whole pic. Marina looks a lot brighter than the rest.
skwonderfactory - 7.5
The cutting is good. I just wish you would have taken a liiittle more time on the hair because you can tell that there was a gray-ish background behind it.
You could've added a filter or colored the hair?
I'm kinda torn about the wings. They look cute but they don't look real at all.
Overall it's a cute edit.
ririfan21 - 6.5
Love the idea.
The background is good but why didn't you edit away the tags?
The cutting is okay, yet not very good. Especially on her hair.
I love the wings tho. You did a great job in adding them (or were they already on the background?)
And the fact that the bottom fades into the cloud makes it more believable.
And maybe you should have edited the mic away or place something else in her hand.
If you would've put an audience full of angels there then the mic would've made more sense.
I hope you stay in the comp tho because I wanna see more Nicki edits.
GouldKaty - 6
The idea reminds me of the Dark Horse Grammy performance.
The cutting could've been better.
Compared to the benches she looks like a giant.
And a little tip for you too: the lighting.
Katy is waay to bright for the background.
I didn't see it at first but the 'much dark' killed me
Tip for the next time: make sure it all looks more real, like it all belongs on the picture.
Brunette Ambition - 9.5
DAAAAMN. This is SOO good.
The cutting is neat.
The stuff you added make sense and look amazing.
I love how it looks like the arms actually touch the earth.
Great edit.
Itsworkbitch - 10
AMAZING.
Love the background. Love the brown square. Love the color palate. Love the eyes. Love how it's all such high quality.
I want this in a big frame on my wall.
