Is the wikipedia info if you don't know it, anyway I envisioned thing being wasn't the humanoid of discription and more ethereal, demonic and well perhaps alien. I can't think for the life of me how to paint it though (colours scheme), so any ideas are welcome.

That's awesome. I'm so in awe of people who can handle 3-D. I so sucked in pottery class.

This is quite an offshoot from your usual style. I mean this in a good way. Since my shitty dial up loaded the picture LONG after I was able to read the commentary several times, I was expecting something completely different. I know nothing, neither of British Mythology nor of Chinese Mythology, but it almost looks like some kind of Chinese demon of sorts. Quite a harsh, yet pleasent surprise!

I was aiming for a totaly different take, but there is more then its fair share of chinese infuence in its design, glad you noticed, I tryed to keep the elements of the original jack, the horns, the bounding legs and the cape, thanks andrew, I glad you picked up on this one!

Half of artistic beauty is left with the different intepretations between the artist and the viewer, isnt' it!

He looks a real scarey conception Fred.. I can imagine him in a a dark misty grey/black with white and red thin strands of colour.. I read the wikpedia article too your redesign of him brings him into the 20th century really well

Very interesting piece man...what about painting in a variety of greys and some black accents with just a very few traces of, perhaps red here and there to imply blood or even fire and the notion of the infernal?

I like your version better. Way scarier for sure. Even your description sounds like a good horror movie. Hey - next time try using colored Sculpey on certain parts so you don't have to paint it at all.

I know the SpringHeel Jack tale also which of course based on our of londons most notorious and unsolved serial killers and I must say that what you have there is a pretty good vision of him. i may have done a more Red and Black but the red alone works. good job.
