Side-By-Side

Wow! Was this my hardest manipulation or what?! Took me roughly 2 hours 40 minutes, and the help of an actual artist to help me get the proportions, lighting and reflections right.

All stock artists have to be thanked!

Any critique that I can be given to help me make these better - please give me! I want to be better at this! Only effects used were blur, soften and the frosted glass effect. Done with paint.net, not photoshop or gimp.
