Execution could be better (though I can't quite explain it >_<), but I absolutely love the concept!

If they have that effect during the daytime they must really be effective.
Thanks

To be honest, you nailed that. The scene does look surprisingly terrifying in a daytime. Usually, it supposed to be less scary when you can see clearly all around yourself. But that photo says opposite. Interesting.Β
As for dreams... oh yes.Β

I really love the eerie atmosphere in this series. Great work.
I always have the feeling the shots belong in an abstractΒ thriller/horror movie.

Thank you very much, I always have a cinematic approach when creating an image and it's backstory so it really makes me happy to know it's being noticed.

Lol, thanks, I'll need to work on that creep factor then, where's the grief? Where's the despair?

Well, maybe your ("his") stance is to blame. The pose is stable enough, he stands firmly on his feet, but upper body is farther from them, like he recoiled from something(-one) horrid. If the goal is to show despair and grief for dead friends, maybe it is better to swing the upper body toward them, like he is trying to reach whom had lost. His eyebrows are beetle-browed, frowning, that gives the same recoiled, stunned, distrustful, cautious expression, as the stance. The slight uplifting of brows would give some pleading expression, that's the emotion near enough to despair.
The composition is great. I can feel the connection between biggest figure and the man. The gaze starts from the main character and then keeps going over additional figures to the biggest figure. At the same time this figure is far enough from the starting point, so we have time to descry the main character. ButΒ hooded figures are solid, material, maybe more added transparency would be better.

Thank you, couldn't have paid for a better critique, on the other hand, they aren't all that friendly, let's just say that they didn't part on good terms so I appreciate you noticing the slight recoil.

You're welcome!
It's always hard to portray in an artwork every meaning and feeling artist conceived, so if it induced at least some of those feelings in spectator's mind, then the goal is achieved! Just keep up good work, it's amazing!
