it has something that I find really calling out for attention... the background works very well... the eyes are peculiar like some genetical mutation made them so. I am not too sure about the neck "V" signs, but that is just me. Work a bit more the shadows :)
Good strokes, nice background. I'm not sure about the eyes. Is he an alien creature appearing, or perhaps a regular dude who saw something terrible? Could go either way...
Great design, I like the rough brush srokes and style.
I also like the rough strokes you use in this, as if you were in a hurry to escape from this creature,
the shadows work perfectly for me, they add just the enought amout of darkness around in your unic blend of style ;0]
wonderfuld work cbender I like it a lot, I will look more on you work on another day , best regard Jette
One of the things that I notice here is the whole Halo effect, where the stroke stops just short of the figure and creates a white "aura" around the figure, I am trying to discern whether or not that is a good thing or a bad thing in this one, it sort of separates the figure from the rest of the drawing on the sides, but on the top the effect is not present, and the figure meets the background and they fit, it is sort of weird the dynamic that is formed there, maybe i do like it. w00t -Jeffrey
