Description
I'm really not happy with this one. I think it's just that the overall pic lacks the drama and impact I wanted it to have even though the individual elements all seem OK.
Credits:
The Mike character is Boris by Capsces and is sporting Daio's Raven texture (gotta love those scars). The hair is the nhair from the freestuff. Mike's belt is from 3dcc and I'm pretty sure it was made by theimmortal.
The EasyPose Chains are by me, as are the EasyPose conversions of Davo's monsters. Everything else is by Davo.

Very, very classic and excellent work Ajax!! It captures and displays the kind feel of Frazetta or the Hilderbrandt Brothers. Great work!!
I see a couple of things worth noting (please bear with me.) First, the skin texture looks like its from a photo and the lighting on the chest is off. The lighting on the face looks entirely different. The gun/pants look exquisitely drawn, but that contrasts with the photo realism of his skin texture. The scene has a good composition and the figure is well posed (nice expression too!) I think a few touchups can bring out that drama you were looking for. I hope you dont mind the crit, and I want to make sure you know I like this image. Good job!
Nice idea. I like the concept. I tend to agree with archetype about the apparent differences in texture styles. For some reason the character's head doesn't look quite right within the context of this picture, partly the lighting and partly something I can't put my finger on. It's not far from being a really good pic though.
actually the pic is very very cool, i knew immediately it was the raven texture, it's not your lighting raven has white on his upper chest, i have tried blending it out, but that doesn't work well either, he's a killer texture otherwise, all in all this pic is great
Try adjusting the lighting making the foreground darker with more spot lighting on the tentacles to heighten the "look out" effect from the audiance perspective.
Lighting needs to be a bit darker for a creepier feel. Gun looks great.
