I see you've entered another contest EC. Can you win this one? My opinion, you can, because your opponents seem like their ideas have been done before.
Your idea however, is generally new. The way you kept this Vortian's appearance still pertaining to the original is brilliant rather than completely changing the look altogether making him nearly unrecognizable like a few others have.
The modifications to the body are also rather elaborate. Along with making him, a tall, intimidating force to be reckoned with, you also gave him the perfect amount of changes/additional appendages. The detail is extraordinary, the torn clothing and bandages being my possible favorites.
The stance also impresses me, because not only have you captured the full body of this being, you have the more near side of his body larger than the far side, indicating you know how to apply points of perspective to your artwork.
The grass in which the Vortian stands is perfectly colored and meet the ground points for the hand and feet. The moon is an excellent medium to show the little light this monster brings to the darkness.
My only concern is the fog. As good as the fog looks, it seems just a little too dark for a normal type of fog, which may have been what you were going for, but if not, it could use some work.
Hope this helped EC. Your work is always improving, and I hope you win this contest.
EC, you have yet again boggled my mind with another stunning piece of art. I haven't actually written a critique before, so please excuse any errors I may make.
First of all, I want to point out the attention to detail. The blades of grass gently rippling in the ominous breeze, the texture on the skin, the blood. I also congratulate the use of correlation between the pose, body language and moon. The creature has it's body tilted upward facing the moon, a difinitive sign of change dating back to the werewolves. The tip of the tail also points toward the moon and from there we can trace an invisible line up through the spine and into the core of the moon.
Next, I'd like to point out the background/foreground. The two almost seem intertwined as there is a dark background with fog. The fog also wraps around the creature. Again, nice use of detail. Now, I know this was thrown together quickly, but perhaps a more lengthy time could have been spent adding a few mangled trees or something. Nothing more then a silhouette with a bit of glow from the moon. But not too much so that it draws away from the focal point of the picture aka the creature.
You will never cease to amaze me. I apologize again if I sounded a bit much or if I happened to offend you in any way. I'm looking forward to seeing what other pictures happen to find their way out of that marvelous mind of yours.
