I can honestly say that of all the deviations I've ever seen here, this is definitely one of my favourites. The anatomy is stunningly detailed and the notes you've added to it create a story that enhances the amazing factor greatly (if that sentence makes any discernible sense). Brilliant work.

This is magnificant. The anatomy and composition of the beast seems completely unreal in the most realistic way I've ever seen. It's just....beautieful.

First off, you have my huge applause for creating such a well-thought out and amazingly original concept and then carrying it out to this extent. There's a few things that bother me, though, and I'll try to point them out at least somewhat constructively.
First off, the left edge of the stock photo you used looks like it wasn't meant to be one sheet of paper, but a stack of paper with one main sheet on top. This would have been fine, save the fact that the text goes onto the other paper at one point, and the burn't edge doesn't really make sense. It's not that apperent at first glance, though. I just think it might look a little more realistic if that problem wasn't there...
Aside from that, the writing looks really mechanical and font-ish in a few places. It's a good font for the project, but a bit of custom erasing on some of the letters would have made them look less monotonous.
And you missed an 's' in the word 'dissection' somewhere in the bottom paragraph. It kind of adds a bit of spur-of-the-moment written feel to this, though, and I think that's what you were going for.
Another thing that bothers me a bit is the repeated image near the lover right hand corner. I don't know what it is, but it's goldish. There's two of them and one's just rotated a bit...if it was edited or altered in some way that wouldn't make them so identical it might have looked a bit better as well. Also, the left-hand one of these two's attaching cord-thing looks fairly un-attached to the main body, if that makes sense.
Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome work though. Please don't take this as derogatory, because I like tearing art apart when it's worty of being torn apart. Art that fits that description, like this, I find maybe once every month and a half. I browse about two hundred pictures a day, so that's saying a lot (at least for me).
I hope you don't mind me leaving such a long comment on your work, and I apoligise if I've offended you in any way o.o...
(apoligising in advance if this is a double post, my internet screwed itself the first time I tried to submit.)

Thanks for the contructive criticism... its always apreciated...
i agree about the paper... when i had the orignal stock of the parchment it didnt occur to be that it could have been a stack of pages... it looks more like the binding of a book.... but now i can clearly see it can be interpreted as a stack of paper... and i also agree about the fontish look of the writing.. i too am peeved with the over use of hand writing fonts... however... handwriting (penmanship)of such uniform perfection was often the rule than the exception a hundred years ago...also you can see the full detail on this version but i used sevel brushes to break up the uniformity of the writing... you might be able to see a better version in my journal... but its a good suggestion, definetly something for next time.... and i think your talking about the "knee" of the beast... yes i should probably change on of those up a bit...
thanks for the good suggest... i will definetly put them to use if i decide to have another go at monter building
thanks again.. and i fixed the typo...

Did you spell "disection" wrong in the last paragraph, with the last words, 6th line down?
>_> Oh well it adds realism anyway. What kind of doctor doesn't make mistakes?

No problem
I thought it might've been intentional, but I had to post because I notice those small errors that normally not many people see a lot of times and I just HAVE to tell.

awesome!!! The drawing stands out a little bit too much to really look like it has been drawn on that parchment... but just a little bit
what font did you use for that?

mibi In reply to eve-bolt [2004-07-13 23:58:37 +0000 UTC]
yes i agree... i upped the contrast of the beast a little before i finished... it does stand out more, but i suppose its atrade off between detail and realism.. thanks tho... ill post the font in my journal later... since everyone seems to want to know.

lacerating? what the heck? laceration is a term used for a cut, not for "to cut"...isn't it? i like the image, but the descriptions are stretching...a better knowledge of medical terminology woulda helped, i think...

mibi In reply to somekindofmike [2004-07-13 21:53:32 +0000 UTC]
lacerating is a transient verb. [link]
and i suppose more medical termology would make it more authentic. thanks for the suggestion.

The best i've seen so far, the observations made and stuff written down is really creative. It almost seems real. Although, a lot of things about it make me want to wish that it isn't. Haha. Excellent drawing and everything!
