Hello, I really like the colors and likeness of Elvis. Good composition and an interesting background choice. Was this drawn from a photo or from life, cause you know, Elvis Lives.

i think the head should bit abit larger, the composition seems abit empty....also the dripping effects seems abit linear and colud be softened. overall nice mood and great likeness. keep it up:thumbsup:

you did this in photoshop? I first thought it was painter with watercolors or something. this is great work, the brush techniques are stunning

great likeness. what i like is the background elements. what could have easily been a more "typical" lithograph like painting is really made more unique. it almost has a dark feel to it even though it's just Elvis. heh. great rendering of the guitar.

Awesome tribute, the only thing I am not sure about is the hard circles left by the photoshop brush, they kind of make a pattern and I am not sure if that is good or bad. Good colors!

Waterdrops don't look real. I understand what you are trying to convey, but the effect doesn't come across. Smooth out the middle of the drops where the "rings" show, and it meet look better.

Nice image, no crits, Frontpage material imo. If you wanted the "drups" to be actual water or paint drups, then you didn't hit the nail on the head. But I like the effect it has now.
Very outstanding work

Very nice, strong colors, there's alot of life in the image, but why is the King's hair on fire? Just joking, goed work. Keep loving the King.
