Damir, ti si iz Hrvatske?

Beautiful

Nice drawing, how come the kids dont have faces? thats very haunting and creepy. what does mother nature do when all the kids get a hold of her?

LOVE THIS!

a family member of mine with a million children. Only I am sure she doesnt look as in peace as this women.

Reminds me of my kiddos when I try to sit down to relax. LOL

As an admirer of your work, I think this is one of your "softer" images. I think it's creatively beautiful.

I love to see Photoshop used for more than just stitiching images together and throwing filters around. Excellent Work.

undervoted

It's not nice to pool Mother Nature!

Mother nature is hot

I think I feel like a kindred spirit to "Mother Nature". But seriously, this is the BEST work I have seen in this contest, it is so creative, and serene, not like all the others that are creepy and weird.

cool!

She looks as if she has it all in control of the many things going on around her. As in nature there is always so much going on at once yet the world still goes on and is in balance. It's great!

Thank you *skettii*I am at peace, my million children are all asleep. I would like a print of this picture, I love it!

Very artistic and great painting skills. Like it!

I love it! Who cares if the kids don't have faces? Who are these people anyway, who post such silly questions? Have they even seen the other entries? If they think yours is haunting and creepy....then go through the rest of the entries "damagecontrol"
Seriously.....this is great!

If people really do want prints of this, they can contact me through my website: www.sabordesigns.com Thanks!

uuuu nice trip :)

I think Shinyranger's right. It's nice to see something else besides cut and copy. I really like the new stuff, and the unique feeling. It isn't like anything else you see out there. :D #9

The quote of your MySpace page: "go here and vote for me! http://www.crestock.com/blog/design/contest2007/entry.aspx?id=5564"

I knew something was wrong with this one. There's no way this one could be that good, especially to get so many votes so fast for this picture.

I don't see anywhere in the rules where it says you cannot ask people to vote for your entry....do you?

Someone is a poor loser sounds like and doesn't have the audacity to post under their own username.

The serenity and patience of the woman,I wish we could present that air of love and tenderness to our children. It is pretty good opafaf.

I would say plug your design away, get as many people to vote for that design as you can. I'm going to put that link on my page :)

This reminded me of some of the great art that I saw in Norway. I love that anyone anywhere in the world at any period of time can relate to it

I sense some real artistic talent with this 'Mother Nature' entry!

Beautiful. Where did the kids leave their faces? I've never seen anything like that in Croatia.

I love this image! Wish I was this creative! Where can I see more?

This work screams "Opafaf"

I really love this image. I will tell all my friends on my myspace page to vote for it, it's that good.

this looks great! different from your other stuff. i really like it. ( i like your other stuff too)

has anyone noticed that a lot of the other ones use the same images? lame!

Some of these other pics aren't that great. They just change a few tiny details and then submit them, and it's not even worth the small effort it takes. Then there are ones like this, where you know it took them a while to actually do it. There isn't any of this cut and copy and overlay stuff, this is cool.

Please read into the contest first, and have a longer than two seconds - or any - look at the other contestants' entries. Because what you are saying is total BS.

Just to keep it fair =)

I have taken the time to carefully look at the other pictures. This picture shows extraordinary talent. It also lets us know that the artist doesn't have a warped distrubed mind. It isn't gruesome, bloody, gory, or creepy. It doesn't send the message of dissatisfaction with, or hatred of life and the world. It doesn't depict unhappiness of self. Most (notice I said MOST, not all) of the other entrances give me that distinct impression. I don't understand them or relate to them. This one I not only understand, but I can relate to it. A person must vote for what makes them feel right, and if most of those other pictures make a person feel right then they need a head doctor.

Absolutely Beautiful!!! Unique!!! Very worthwhile viewing. WOW!!

I also have spent some time viewing the other entries and it seems like a lot of them are from the same "artist" (I wouldn’t really call them artists from their work). There is a repeatable theme in them, the same owl, the same girl and the same hallway. This one is unique and original and beautiful, not a rushed job. I think that if anyone has a problem with all the votes it is receiving it is because they are not receiving any for their "art". I would also like a print, this is something I would hang in my home with small children, a lot of the other entries I would never let my children see and I wish I didn’t have to see them. Hats off to the ARTIST of this entry

i did read the contest rules. but what i'm saying is that the images ARE all the same. he's taken this, and altered it, like it says you can, and made something completely different looking. i think its way better than the other entries because its unique. the others all look the same. way to go!

Let's hope judges don't read that black pr BS.

I did look at the others. Some are really good, but some are just not. I saw some that i liked, and i commented. However, I think it may the fact that everyone seemed to want to use the house in their pictures that made them all seem the same. For instance, there is one of s gingerbread house that I enjoyed, and one with the oriental woman's face as different colors that was cool. It's not most of the others, just some, that are repetitive with the stock photos.

And thanks. :D

Thanks for everyone that voted!

Hey The_Eluryahn, it's not Oriental... the correct term is ASIAN... you dumb fuck! With no education at all, you shouldn't even be allowed to vote.

Actually you are the moron. Oriental and Asian or completely different terms. They are meant to describe a region not a race. While the Orient includes people with Eastern Asian ancestry it is actually referring to people from the area of Middle East, Egypt and the rest of the Arabian countries. Where as Asian refers to people of only Southern Asian ancestry.

So before you start point fingers of racial prejudice and ignorance maybe you should school yourself.

Thumbs up for you Sketti.

Reminds me of Korn's "Follow the Leader" album cover.
