Try blurring the render so it doesnt look so sharp, gaussian blur set on soft light should bring down the sharpness. BG is nice though.

Spoiler for v4 for comparation:

Personally, I think v4 blinking is a bit more natural than v5. The closing of the eye in v5 seems a bit too slow. Maybe make v5 just a tad faster, and perhaps make the time in between the two blinks just a teeny bit longer.

Agree with Bun-bun. The outlines of the mask and the character seems a bit sharp and jagged compared to the original render.

Just one thing to add to what's already been said and that is the character seems to stand out against the background - like two pictures were overlaid. Should try to blend the girl so that it seems like she originally belonged with the background.

Evil Rick, the blinking of version 4 is better than the one of version 5

Version 6

The best blinking so far. Could probably be improved by making the douple blinking faster, but it might be a question of taste.

I was sure I saw a longer final entry list.. As always, if I leave your submission out, please point me to the post.. I'm sleepy, watched UCL match last night between Arsenal vs Roma and slept at 5 am, woke up at 12, so please forgive me..

Dont edit any post before this to tag your final entries, make a new post as I sure as hell dont like the idea of going through this huge thread again.

And curse escimo for making me go several time to make sure his slice lined up.. AND it wasn't animated too !!! *shakes fist*

Well, having half face of the guy at the left and half head of the guy at the right makes the sig a bit distracting and unfocused :?

I don't like v2, to blurred, toomany stains, the sig don't catch mnuch atention. I stick with v1, it looks a lot better

[ganbaru]

Fraility if the biggest issue with v1 was the mask, it looked like not incorpored into the render, v2 is too much blurred, too absorbet by the background and the ''spots'' on the render's chest look too ramdom. For me V1 is your best so far.
