Well... regarding the women I have to second the comments about the hair (especially the stark blue on the water elemental) - this looks like a GREAT WIP, but (IMO) it does still need work. I love the wings you've used, BTW. Mainly, it looks like the fairies have been superimposed over a flat backdrop and are floating in space. Is this a composite image, or did you load the waterfall/forest in as a background? Thorne - I've never heard of Leeloo - was that from the movie The Fifth Element? I never saw the whole thing... And I'd forgotten that the Japanese one that is sometimes translated as "Void" or "Emptiness" can also mean "Spirit;" thanks for reminding me... :-)
