He was very up front in his first post about the pics being half-photography. I find the pics to have a certain edge to them that the original photograph probably didn't have. I think these are great. If I can make a suggestion; the foreground might pop more if you eliminated some of the busy background images that don't lend anything to the subject matter, i.e.; the keyboard behind the curtain; the shopping bag, the coffee mug, etc.. Maybe even overlap the cartooned subject over a dungeon background scene or something that might re-characterize the inference of the image. Either way, great job, and thanks for sharing it here.
