Description
UPDATE: I added some more highlights at the suggestion of Dan (*da-joint-stock ) - thanks! AND! I've been asked to move up from level 2 to level 3!!! First time in the Intermediate level of Manipulate this!
I'd also like to start requesting Critiques on my manipulations. If you'd like to tell me what you think, I'd appreciate it!
This is my entry to Level 2 (NOPE! LEVEL 3!!!!) of the current challenge from Manipulate This - 'Lost in Space'.
The concept's a futuristic bus stop... use your imagination.

That was kinda the concept, I think... I wanted to do something humorous for the contest it was in.

Wow Merides this is really good!
You've done awesome job blended all the stock elements together and somehow - despite how surreal this scene feels - it all fits together and is actually quite convincing (from a surreal POV
My only suggestion has to do with lighting: The portal/teleporter looks to be emitting a very bright light, but not much of that lighting is reflecting off the seated woman. I'd sugest adding some bright-blue highlights, especially on the shiny parts of her uniform.
Otherwise, this is awesome!

Thanks for the crit, Dan! means a lot to me! I'll try adding some highlights, see how that looks... maybe more of a soft glow, even, on the ground...

That looks pretty good - but the highlights on the girl almost need to be even brighter. I'm not saying they're necessary though. However, I do think you could add a few more highlights on her arm and her hip...
It's looking very good though!!

Thanks! I'm nervous about trying *too* hard at adding highlights- the ones I added seem almost too bright, fading out the actual costume of the girl... I think that's mostly because she's a 3D rendered character, while GIMP is a 2D program... I'm reluctant to try adding TOO much more... However, I do agree that it looks better with the highlights you suggested.

I know the feeling... Try using a fuzzy brush at 2% or 3% transparency with light blue colour. Just try it on a separate layer, then if you don't like it you can just delete it

That's exactly how I did the highlights... only I think I went with 10% opacity.
