Description
A submission for Hyaena Gallery's "the Wreckard Show"- wherein the artists have to illustrate one of their favorite album covers (with no regard, good or bad, for the original cover).I chose Black Sabbath's Paranoid. It rocks. You know it does.
acrylic on wood, mixed media crochet border. 17 x 17".

Incredible work as always. Threre are so many creepy aspects to this, but for some reason the bulging eye on the right side of her face kicks it right on over into horror for me

Whoa. Talk about dynamic. Totally did not expect this as I was scrolling down. It's not so much the elements that for some are supposed to function as a shock factor, it's really the subtlety of that expression... gets ME paranoid, like how I laugh when other people are laughing >___> it's the best way I can put it. Smashing stuff my friend!

thanks a lot, Katie!
Yeah, exactly- there's also the condition that the beasties really pose no threat beyond the "what the hell is this?" factor- they have no teeth an the looks on their faces aren't even exactly menacing.
but EEEWWW! you can see their little brains!
paranoia embodies a sense of threat when really there is none there (otherwise it's danger, not paranoia) that's what i tried to portray here. I like your observations.

I hope you win. It definitely depicts paranoid and the execution and technique is top notch as ever.
The tentacles remind me of the Gravemind from Halo mixed with Yivo from Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs .
The character itself reminds me of the demons from the Hell scene in Constantine .

2 amazing works in one day!
Creepy and funny in the same time.The whole painting is very detailed , but especially the hair, and I love those little veins on her head, and all the eyes!
Is the background painted or its natural?
Anyways it looks great!

Yup, it rocks! though the worms remind me of a line from Pink Floyd's 'Hey You'...
'...And the worms ate into his brain....'
