Description
Please critique this work in progress. I want to create a compelling, realistic render of this creepy, quasi-prehistoric model without introducing violence. Am I on the right track, and what should I do to enhance the unease factor? Thank you!

Wonderful and suggestive image, great use of light !
Great use of light. If you want to minimize the "unease factor," I'd suggest getting rid of that pile of human skulls! :-) Next, turn the head a bit more toward us, and consider adding some green foliage to it. A little green could help warm it up and make it seem less like a scene from a lower right of hell and more like a Lost World in some forgotten jungle. Finally, consider doing some post work to add some footprints... that could enhance the realism. Good job -- I look forward to seeing what you do next.
These are all great suggestions. I only included the skulls to give an indication of the beast's size, but perhaps different types of shrubbery could have the same effect. I think I would also make the helligator slightly larger in the frame. Turning his head would be a great idea, because it could make it look as if he just saw the 'photographer.' Muddy tracks would be a great idea. I hope I can return to this scene in a few days and share it again with you. Thank you very much for your time and critique.
