Interesting face......:)

Yea..it's gonna be interesting ..already is

Oh man, they're all great. <3
Can't wait to see what's next.

I agree about version 2..it's my favorite one too...

each version is better and more interesting than most of the stuff on here

waiting for more..each one is great. :)

All the versions are fascinating! Awesome artwork.

It's like a dreamlike image evolving. Hm, sorry, impossible to explain what I mean, but it is great!

Thanks!
Worked on an update but Lascaux starts to get real slow and screwed me over. So I couldn't submit it.
the image
I will probably finish this series soon.

I think the creature should set her free. She doesn't deserve his cruelty.

That's extremely detailed. The black and white looks great.

Great finish. It's a shame lascaux sketch doesn't have animation. It would be a pleasure to watch it.

It would be.

agreed w/roy..would've loved to watch the process/progress! Outstanding to say the least =)

I can't stop looking at the mottled skin. Superb creature. :)

I like it..looks like Quasimodo all jacked up....

delicious.

and a fabulous creature this is. love it. i been gone for so long and this was a nice surprise to look at.

and OH WOW.....I just went back and looked at each version, they are all stunning....I especially like the one that has a (and wouldn't you know, I can't think of the artist) ___________ look to it. When I figure out the artist I will come back and fill in the blank. Just wonderful.

"Wow".....this is an amazing looking creature......he doesn't look mean though......he seems to want to be friendly. He has a kind look about him.....:)

I just wanted to say, you inspire me Moony.

I see it more as the woman going through some sort of mutation/surgical process, resulting as a monster.

Yea it could be a woman with a headscarf on.

Sweet!

Top notch critter. Dig the skin textures.

seriously creative

Where did you do the colour corrected one?

you could do that color correction on lascaux by adding a new layer filled with greys and set to the dodge blend mode

How awesome is that? Almost has a 3D effect even. He would probably be a very cool character in a computer animated movie of some sort.

All of these are seriously amazing, really looks almost 3D like Aubrey said.

Wow, nice to be able to see this and all the versions in the showcase. Congrats.

I keep coming back to view this, but this time I have a question for you. How do you come up with your textures? Are you just very observant when it comes to studying textures, or do you just mess around with the brush until you get something you like? Just wondering if you have any advice on texturing that you might be willing to share - that's what amazes me most about your work.

I mostly use my messy lines as a feed to find intersting shapes in, which I then try to bring out. I like to experiment a lot with what I have(layer effects, deconstruction, more messy lines, ...).
Some shapes purely originate from experimenting, others are inspired by observation.
I recommend is trying to replicate and analyze textures/shapes which interest you. A few years ago a friend got me interested in graffiti. I really loved how energetic graffiti feels so I tried to get behind it. My stuff sucked(I worked primarily on paper) but I absorbed a a few things. I think(hope) it helps me create more compelling shapes overall.

Interesting.

My kinda pic. Awesome. :}

This is such an "awesome" creature, it looks so real, too. wow. wonderful, he could be in a movie, for real. Yes,good idea about the experimenting, to see just what the software and combinations wuill do.

F'n superb. Each phase could stand on its own.

Yeah.. This is... WOW! Going to have to check out his gallery again. Great stuff.

Happy Halloween
