I've gotten some work done on it since I took this shot, but anyway. Please comment on any flaws, glaring or otherwise. I'll probably be too lazy to touch it again once I get it to a stage I want to call finished, so I guess it's best to take a beating now.

the glowsuck is really nice. I like the skull. Is he jumping? Because it looks like he's standing on his tippy toes, or levitating. *nods*

Real nice concept.

The dude seems like he's being attracted by some invisible force up in the air.

awesome. the colors rock. the head splatter kicks ass. i'd say the ground could be worked, but at least it's cool without the extra finishes.

did you used reference?
the anatomy looks realy good to me

there are two things that bugs me
1.His head doesn't look like he was cuted off... more like it would be a small head
2.the composition is a bit boring
the right side of the pic is a bit too empty
but maybe it's just the work in progress thingy

looking forward to the final version

Hahaha. That's the coolest thing I've seen all day. Finish it off!

This is very nice. I like the glowing bones in his forearms and hands. What's the idea behind this? A dude with a hacksaw and a mallet whose head is spewing out orange globules... hmmm

I like how his bones are glowing, nice effect. I'd like to see some blue in there with the violet too.

oo, comments.

Ian, Tanis, Bishop: It's a transitional moment.The working name for this was 'self-critique', which more or less explains what I was going for here. I wanted him to stand suspended like that, with two ways to go: liberation, katharsis or whatever you want to call it, or a fall to the ground. It's not a precise science, nor one for those afraid of pain, hence the choice of tools.

...I guess pictures are like jokes - if you have to explain them, they're not working. :\

silber: I used an anatomy book as reference for the arm/hand bones. You're probably right about the head and the composition, though... :| The head I can probably fix easily enough, the composition may prove a bit trickier. We'll see.

Icannon: the ground will look a bit different in the final version. This is just a general look at it. I'm going to add some mounds and such for variety, and maybe a bit of debris. Nothing too detailed, though.

Briareos: You're right about the violet. It is too monotonous. I'll fix that.

Thanks for the comments!
