Looks pretty awesome. Think a little more could have been done with the wand in hand I can see that it looks like you just pasted the wand right over her hand.

Tha background with its shades of pale blue-green tones is so beautiful, but the front part doesn't blend very well together. You have very good eye for colors.

Magical work All stocks are well chosen, and I love the shining moon and spark. I just think that a little more attention paid to the fairy wings edge would make it even better. Maybe a little outer glow would help

Well done - I like your stock choices and the dandelions floating around!

Just a quick couple things to consider..

I know it's difficult sometimes cutting out stock to place in a deviation (and frustrating sometimes - ha ha), but spending just that little extra time can make a deviation that much better! Just be careful to look over the entire stock and make sure you've erased all the unnecessary background so that it will blend that much better.

Examples would be on the two bunnies in the lower right hand corner. On the right side in the flowers is still some background that could be cut out as well and some areas around the wings. A tip would be to blow up your stock real big and get as close to the edge as you can.

The only other suggestion is with the girls dress at the bottom. You can see the hard line where it cuts off. Maybe use a softer brush and grass brushes to cover that up so it looks like the rest of the dress is behind the grass.

Overall - great job!

Very magical piece - I love the color palette and stocks you've chosen! The butterfly on her wand looks a bit big in proportion to the fairy, but other than that, this is fantastic!

wow this is sooo awesome Angela. i want to remind you we are a learning group and we try to help in making us all the best manipers here on DA. with that said here is my critique. this is soooo magical dear. i wouldn't mind getting lost there. isn't magic wonderful. we can imagine anything we want. OK lets see. hmmmmm. the first thing i see is the tree stump. i think that maybe it is a little to bright all around. i understand that the magic is bright and is changing the bunny to real but i think it would look better with the light on just the top part of the stump and around the bunny. because of the brightness of the magic that is happening on the bunny and stump the light should also be reflecting on the fairy around the bottom part of her dress close to the stump. i see the wand in the fairy's hand also needs a glow look to make it look like it is working. we have another light source coming from the moon. this light should be reflected on the fairy and the bunny but not as strong as the magical light. thank you dear for allowing me to download this wonderful piece so i can take a closer look at your technique. you have done pretty good on the cutting. if you look a little closer you will see some parts that have halos around them. the best way to get rid of them is to get really close and use a very small soft brush and keep brushing away until you no longer have that halo. it may take awhile but it is worth it. i love the idea of adding real bunnies but i think the bunnies here on the bottom right could have been a photo and not a drawing. i really love all the sparkles and the dandelions floating everywhere. all in all this is a wonderful piece and this is for you

Wonderful image! I love the huge moon and the color scheme My only nitpick would be that the whites on the stump are too white. I think it takes away for he subject.

Wonderful choice of colours and stock. Maybe do with some shadows for the foreground rabbits and Velveteen rabbit, but very nicely done and quite magical!

I don't know the story, could not even find if it was ever translated.
Nice image you created. Purple, color of mystery and magic. I think the image is a bit busy (noisy?), but on the other hand I love all the things you added to it, cute rabbits, sparkles, the lights of magic, the magic lady. Lovely job.

Thank you. In brief the rabbit was a favorite toy of a little boy. The little boy became ill. Because of the illness his parents had to burn all of his toys. The rabbit cried a tear and a fairy came and made him a real rabbit. he then ran off to play in the forrest as a real rabbit. The end...Have a Happy New Year.
