yea, I'm trying my best to become better at photomanipulation, coz I think it's a very underrated branch of art. also good job on getting in depthcore. want to have my work featured in there also lmao

well it depends, it can be really tough to adjust the images properly, and only few people truly recognize the hours of work in a manipulation after all. On the other hand many manipulations are only great because their creators know where to find or buy great stock images.
And thank you btw! It took me by surprise myself back then

The execution is impressive. You achieved a great harmony on the creature created.
About the environment, I have to say that i'm not digging the blur, but still amazing!

thank you Diego for the honest critique. It was the first time I used a blurred background. I wanted to try something different this time and really draw attention to the creature itself.

You're welcome man.
It really allows to focus the attention on the creature, problem is, of course just in my honest opinion, that the blur chokes / asphyxiates the very own creature. Probably with more neg. space this would be solved, or over an horizontal canvas.
But again, is just an observation, the artwork is really great man.
