That's kinda cool. I find the rendering of the face doesn't seem to fit the body... Could just be me. The video of your progress steps was very interesting. You worked and re-worked the hell out of this image. My favourite part is his lower back, looks quite real, and the colour choices are great.

lol Excellent emotion. That's how I feel when I see some of the insane talent on this board somthimes hehe. I like the skin tone, and the way his nose sticks out from his fingers, also the way his toes are curled up. cool cool stuff

weird and beautiful. you have an awesome style. some parts of him look wildly cartoonish and yet some are completely 3d.

Reminds me strongly of a card from "Magic: The Gathering", a trading card game. That card was named Terror and featured a creature in a similar (tho not identical pose, peeping out through the fingers of one hand in much the same vein). Was this the inspiration, or a spooky coincidence - sorry to ask, just curiosity demanded it

I'd scan it - but I gave my cards away to a friend

Ah well, either way, as an original or a different take on that original, I like it, plus it conveys the subject well enough.. perhaps lacking depth of the emotion, but then, I doubt that's what u were after.. Nice job

Another note - the above sounds cruely accusational, this wasn't even slightly intended

Secondly - love the slideshow, just downloaded.. wish more peeps would keep their progress pics..

evilasmo - I found a scan of it the artwork.
May have to drag to address bar

Um, hi, everyone, this is my first post. I'll try to make myself useful when I can.

The poses are similar. I think the over exaggerated eye really takes away from the mood. It makes it look more comical than terrified. Perhaps consider a regular widened eye with a very small pupil?

maybe it was a subliminal inspiration, but it's been 10 years since I last saw that card, and I haven't thought about it till just now.
Gonna try to find it somewhere :]
