any suggestions welcome, and thanks for looking. (its about half done at this point)

Wow! That's, um, impressive. I love the little kitty-kat thing. Cute-like. Overall composition is just plain cool. I especially like the chitinous quality of the legs. Coming along nicely. Yup.

lookin sweet...i didnt even notice the cat..my eyes are drawn to the head in the bubble...do you scan your work in or do you work straight from tablet, very smooth linework

Wow, lot of detail.
Like the Strangelove-esque cat.

Very cool.

Roundeye: Was your house surrounded by marijuana crops when you were a kid? =) That's a crazy pic man... pussy-cat riding rocket? hehe, crazy. =) Nice shading, weird anatomy, but maybe needs a little hue variety in the skin. Great work so far. Keep at it, you just have a few days left.

[Hase]

what-the-****`???

looks cool so far, keep going.

[Max]

Great, I love these flashes very much !!

[Ryknow]

is that hitlers head in the jar or am i imagining things? any how awesome pic i love the creativity

[gLitterbug]

Hi Roundeye, I loved the sketch already, Adolf�s head is especially awesome. It looks good so far, but something about the color scheme really bugs me. Not sure what it is, maybe because the body looks so monotonously (?) in color. Too little variation. Maybe some more purple/pinkish tones on the brain of the creature maybe, to make it look more squishy. I really don�t know what exactly "doesn�t work" for me with the color.

Futurama meets Mars Attacks! Well-elaborated merriment for the masses.

[Sumaleth]

Loving it so far, although the head on the left lacks some dimensionality at the moment - feels a little bit 2D compared to the rest.

[gigatron]

LOL That things hularious! I especially like the cat/monkey bendy arm spanking routine rofl its hularious (looks a bit like comical anime -- the cat/monkey) great stuff

[Malachi Maloney]

Easily one of the coolest images I've seen in ages, can't wait until it'd done.

Great work, Ben. WOW

~M~

[Sheldon Quirk]

go eatpoo! would you like fries with that sir?

[roundeye]

thanks guys, heres a crappy update. looks too dark i think

[gigatron]

Nah not dark keep it up

[Pickman]

Uh no!!! Don't do that! This black outline is not good! It was better the way it was before. Ok, this is just my opinion, but I really think, that this black outline is stealing the illusion of depth away...

yeah youre right, tried it, didnt work.

That's really cool! The composition is really well balanced and the design is just great! The black lines made it clearer what is going on but it also destroyed the depth.
There's only two things I would change in it: I would put the closest leg into perspective (=make it bigger) and change the shading on the creature's head, it looks like brains but I could be wrong.. if it's brains then there would be sharper highlights (because brains are wet) and red colour, the same red that is in the thing in his hand.
Also, the fleshy parts that don't have highlights look better than the ones with almost white higlights. When the materials are rendered in different ways it makes metal look like metal and flesh like flesh. The part that I like most is the human head in the bottle, that is because there you've made huge difference in the way you rendered the bottle and head, even the hair looks different. The things I am complaining about are very minor, I'm just so crappy writer that I need 500 words to explain something simple

Can't wait to see this done!

[Jami Noguchi]

wow! the textures on the background are great!

what are you planning for the ground stuff?

[Malachi Maloney]

Lookin' good dude.

My only suggestion, would be to make the pilot light for the torch-hand a little smaller and bluer. That might suggest more that it's a pilot light and not the actual flame itself.

Just a suggestion. Looks great so far.

Take it easy,

[vegeta�ONAC]

yesum good idea to leave the outline out. someone better call Erik Larsen and get the Dragon to beat up Adolf Hitler's head in the tank!

[roundeye]

thanks guys! BG and malachi, you guys are right, i will implement all that. thanks for the feedback!

[Pickman]

Ah much better!!! In fact some great piece of work, really!!!

[roundeye]

[Bg]

What can I say, looks fucking sweet! One last crit, the reflected light that is on the cheek (and nose) is stronger than the reflected light on the brains..



As you can see it's no big deal at all, I'm just nitpicking..

[Malachi Maloney]

sweetness

[mitch]

I tried to find something wrong so I could tell you something helpful but I cant, maybe the thumb anatomy is a little off? I like your work and I think this is the sikest so far. Maybe the overall tonal contrast is week, between character and bkround, but theres so much detail contrast that my eye doesnt think it matters too much. You gonna add bkround or leave it colors? I think it could look good bof ways. Hurry up and finish slave. HAHAHHAHAHA
