The neck, body and tail is the paintbrush. So is his hair. The rest is external sources. (5 years and 179 days ago)

Zizounai says:

Cute and terrifying at the same time! could have been in the nightmare contest too

Zizounai says:

You have some round yukkies you might want to erase just in front of the creature's face

author says:

Yea those dots were added by the Nik Filter and I don't know why. I was hoping no one saw them but you have the eye of an eagle. I will try to clone them out. Thanks for the suggestion.

author says:

Those yuckies were actually in the external external source and were exaggerated by the Nik Filter.

You've gone batty!

skyangel says:

Weird creature and great work as usual but I think you need to define the body edge a bit more where it meets the right wing. Check the right wing on the bat and see how the body edge is still defined?
Other than that, I have no suggestions for improvement.

author says:

That was a problem area. I spent more time on that than anything else (well not quite but it felt that way). I tried so hard to find legs that would just cover up that seam. I had the edge a little harder, then softer, and kinda settled on medium. Tried using some of the paintbrush texture to make it blend. Tried some color, and other types of brushing. Perhaps you see some solution that I don't, to which I am all ears, but I kinda racked my brain on that stupid seam. I was hoping no one would notice but you and Z with your damned eagle eyes are seeing ALL of my faults!! haha.

skyangel says:

You made it less defined. I was thinking more defined like in this reference......

The sleep of Reason produces monsters - created by Galena

Francisco de Goya, "El sueÃ±o de la razÃ³n produce monstruos". (Etching, c. 1798)

When reason goes to sleep, the monsters come out.

Irrational nightmares, or fantastic creatures? Deranged bats and owls attack the artist, as the guardian cats rouse, but one owl is offering a brush... or is he stealing?

...

rusvelt2000 says:

Nice recreation of the original picture author. Well done and good luck

author says:

Thank you. I only wish I'd given myself one more day to make the creatures a little stranger

Keiley22 says:

sorry you didn't place higher, you definately deserved to be atleast 3rd place Sometimes hard work doesn't pay off around here

author says:

Well thank you for encouragement on the bats and owls pic... barely hoped for fourth but given that it's pretty easy to misunderstand the theme as "copy a painting" I figured some voters might score it lower. At least the contest made me finally get around to doing this image. Appreciate it Angela

Bat, Out, Hell

pearlie says:

YES! Love it - but you burnt it all to he** - oh, but that's the point! Great one, author.

DanLundberg says:

Chosen idiom is dramatic, but the image -- not so much. Making the bat three-times bigger so it's clearly the focus would help a lot. If that yields more contrast between foreground and background for a greater feeling of depth, then you will have created something more compelling.

author says:

Ok lundburg before you opened your mouth I was already working it. Thanks anyway...
