Congrats on 1st

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GL author!!!

I had a hunch it was you author.

He he he.. Nice 1! GL!

I love jam! It is even tastier off of a person!

Spooky and well done, it gave me the creeps = )

ok, this makes me drool...

Very nice composition...........G/L Author.

In one word.. GORGEOUS.. Amazing mood, great composition.

Great work, well done author and best of luck

my fav for sure....

killer entry ..........

Nice surrealism here.

Its all good. Mossy is often off in her assessments but always means well in my opinion. I think its pretty clear that her elbow is behind her. The hands and fingers are fantastic in my opinion. I like the way you blended the skin tones on the big face especially .

Totally agree with Momof4. It's all how you look at it and she saw it the same way I did.
Emotions are just oozing out of this one. Grats!

no...I see it as the elbow is bent and it is behind her hair...well done author. Lots of emotion in this painting...

Her right arm is missing an elbow, or else her upper arm is really short...

Great job author...very moody work....gl

wow,what a perfect scary entry...sometimes i go to this place in my nightmares...well done author

hehehe gruesome, my fav!

U, huh. That's what i thought

Wow! Awesome entry!! I must say, I don't recognize the author this time but I have a hunch.

Creepy and cool. Nice job, author!

Just awesome! Wonderful job.

HOLY CHEESE CAKE ON A BASKET OF STRAWBERRIES.. and lots and lots of whip cream.. (it is a bit obscene though.. I feel like I'm being a voyeur into your mind.. giggle snort.. and that's what I like ABOUT ME!!!)

The crawling out Femme Fatale is AWESOME.. I can feel her back ache.. and the gray is very well done.. he is trying to take control but she will never let him.. actually.. she feels that he doesn't even exist and has no function..

If I'm wrong.. well shut my mouth.. but that's what I get from the image... hehehe.. such a very stable and brilliant talent.. KUDO'S on such a wonderful image

"Thanks so much everyone! One of the best parts of painting is hearing anothers thoughts on the painting. And its so rewarding to be graced with thoughts like these I am so honored by your reactions and the favs already. :blush:"

Prove it.......paint us another one!

That looks delicious. I'm getting hungry looking through this category

Oh man, there was this weird game my nephews used to play on their small PS2s and you had to run through all these corridors of an old hospital while all these genetic experiments chased you.. this has the exact feel... EEEeEEEeeeeeeeEEEEEEKKKKKKK!

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, my kinda piece....psychotic!

...... lil nitty pick though, IMO I`d tone down the dark parts of the texture, especially overlapping the doorway, my eye was a little too drawn to them.

Great work on the transparency of the fabric. Very emotional image ... and great composition! Bravo!

Truly scary image. Gives me the creeps but a perfect image for B&W ... looks like an outtake from a 1950's movie!

wow like idea

wow like idea

great one

Oh, and Rob would be proud

And I kind of figured it was you. your style definitely has a signature. This is nothing that can be controlled. However, I am so glad you are painting more. I can hardly wait to see what you enter next.

AH!!!!!


THIS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!



An excellent start to this contest.

Once, I was. would be a good title. GL

JB

Oh yeah!!!! Killer job! I like the different eyes big time. And the blue hair is to die for, nice job on the tones as well. Way to set the bar Author! You inspired me today. Im pretty sure I got some paintbrushes around here.......

An inspired piece, maybe? Haha, fantastic work.. lovely style and just morbidly gorgeous.

Adam: What are your qualifications?
Betelgeuse: Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?

Saw the image, thought of Wynona Ryder.. in turn thought of Lydia.. which lead to the movie Beetlejuice..hehehehe.. GREAT JOB.. love IT

Looks yummie...but rather not as breakfast for me! Good luck!

Great idea author...flaming head fits perfectly with his facial expression...gl

Wow so wonderful and an instant favorite for me. GL

Fantastic composition! A brilliant manipulation, i love teh transparency of the cloth and the anguish in the model's stance.

Wonderful work, high marks

Hey!!! it's You!!

Nice use of the source! GL!

Intense emotion in this! Sweet!

Wow...great revision!

If the texture is on the man on the right is on a separate layer, try completely desaturating it, since i assume the layer is set to soft light, the skin might look a bit more effective. To make the cracks seems stronger, maybe even try duplicating the texture.
