Description Same as "Sentien Portrait," only with increased contrast and some faint color. I'm not sure which version I like better, which is why I posted both.

The eyes are really neat. By the way, did you ever see Star Trek Voyager? There was a species kinda like this (but not really) and they were awesome. The sentien aren't really like them, but I get the same vibe from them. That wierd ancient otherworldliness.

Also, the coloring technique is really improved I'd say

good subtle use of color and the soft tones add a sense of atmosphere. on top of that, the creature appears very intellegent, as if it is in deep thought. fine work.

The little crest seems off. Like, in the other ones, it's directly on top of the spine, but in this, it's all, you know, wacked out. AND SHIT.

Otherwise a wicked drawing. Damn.

DSil In reply to The-Spicy-Hatman [2006-11-18 09:50:58 +0000 UTC]

Since the other ones were profiles, they didn't show that there is actually a row of antennae thingies above each eye. You can kinda see the fuzzy hint of another row in the portrait. Thanks for the comment.

It's really nice, I like both versions about equally. The 'building up' method is a good one, and you've managed it perfectly here. This is professional grade concept work.

I think i prefer the slight color (#2) makes him come out from the background and seem a little more alive

ooohhh...I like the lurid eye colour...very creepy..

DSil In reply to Carcharadon [2006-11-18 06:40:28 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! The eyes and skin actually change color almost constantly, acting as chamouflage or to convey emotion, much like a cephalopod.
