Description
Unfortunately not all animals are afraid of fire ...Done in Photoshop cs.
Edit: Spent a little more time on the creature's skin - plus added the second arm, making the first look less like a weird lonely tentacle thingy.
Criticism is always welcome - I can take it.

this reminds me of the scene from the Jurassic Park film where Grant waves the flare around to distract the T-Rex. My favorite detail is actually the other people (family members?) hiding behind the tree. It makes the man with the torch seem so noble, protecting the others. Nice work

Thanks - I'm happy you appreciate the story, and yeah - maybe the guy is a genuine hero. On the other hand ... maybe he's making a huge omelet from the creatures' eggs on that fire. So who's really the noble creature here?

I'm putting money on the flaming stick.
Should the fire really have that much smoke? o.0' That's the only thing I see with this pic.

It just rained a few hours before this pic, so the firewood was still moist - hence the smoke
Don't put all your savings on that stick tho

my only crit would be, perhaps you should have made the bon fire a bit bigger so that it looks like the figure took more effort into making a fiercesom looking fire.

Yeah - but maybe he just wanted to cook a rabbit for the family, and unintentionally attracted the monster ... who knows

great work
outstanding work
one thing, the torch bearer looks to be done in a different style than the beast and cliff
he stands out more in the picture (sharper detail??)

An immediate piece of criticism I can offer is that this instantly reminded me of Shadow of the Colossus. Intended?
At least the beast looks to almost be made of earth; looks very similar to the cliff the man in standing on.
Since you asked for critique. ;) Very nice painting.

Nice. Overall color n lighting is just nice.
Lio suggestion: since u said u added on the 2nd arm ( I assume is the further one?) later on, y don't u make it blurred/desaturated? Think it helps to create the distance between the two arms.
Hope it helps

LarsSamsoe In reply to shikee [2008-01-09 07:29:18 +0000 UTC]
You're right - that arm is still bugging me. I might do that - thanks for the crit

I like the coloring you chose for the monster, a nice mossy green to match the environment.
