This is georgeous! Well... I really love the look of old parchment. The alien creature really creeped me out, especially the evil-looking fetus on the tube. Good job!

Thanks to you I now have goosbumps all over me. Disturbing, fascinating and eerie are the first words that appears in my mind. If I found, or saw, a document like that in real life it would scare me senseless.
The paper is very nicely done with it's burnt edges. The text and the depiction of the creature could very well have been written/drawn in the 15th century. Just magnificient.
There's one little thing though, the text looks too homogen so to speak, where it meets the burnt edges one would think that it'd change its characteristics ie. fading out or bleeding a little but it's just a minor thing, it's a masterpiece in my eyes.

thank you... nice to know im serving up goosebumps... its hard to tell on this version but the text near the burns are all darkened somewhat... visit my journal for more detail... i really wanted to put a bigger version on DA but i couldnt for several reasons.

Very impressive piece, looks very authentic. You should fake treasure maps. ^^

This is really incredible! Did you use other images to create the alien, or did you draw it? I only ask because this is under 'photomanipulation'. It seems so well-planned that it would be impossible to get it by any means other than freehand, along with lots of planning.
Very awesome!

Haha, 'collection of engravings'. Wow, I read it then read the actual piece and forgot.

Amazeing , the captions, the drawing and the burns all combine to ad a certain macab aura to this drawing. But what i would like to see even more is a non-disected version of this manifestation.
π: 0 β©: 1
ha, thanks i tried to make this a very 'completed' work... and as for a non-disected version, you might have to use your imagination on that one.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I will.

Very interesting indeed. I found myself loving the writing in the piece more so than the slaughtered alien. Great job.

Congrates on the DDF! yup reminds me of the anatomy studies Leonardo Da Vinci did (pity a LOT of his work is lost to us TT_TT)
The detail is amazing, a job well done ^_^ +fav totally~

Dr. Frankenstien would have been proud...a beastly brilliant piece.
π: 0 β©: 0
Very nice. I love the way you did the margins, reminds me of the works by da Vinci. Even though he never dissected an alien. 
A gruesome picture, but I love it
π: 0 β©: 1
how do you know he never disected an alien?! .... haha... thanks a lot.

no.. I really dont...
You're welcome

this is truly worthy of being a daily deviation
better than that even
it's fantastic
this is of incredibly high caliber
we should have a deviation of the month or something for this kind of work

oh serious.... you touch me deeply

brilliantly written and drawn, except for one mistake, other pages are visible!
it seems that on one hand you try to make it look like a single, old sheet of paper, indicated by the burn makes and holes.
on the other hand you have several pages visible on the left side, they would block the hole and usually prevent such burn marks.

hmm.. i never thought about that... i just assumed the parchment from ~ temabinastock was just one sheet with lines down it... but now it does look like other pages... thanks for pointing that out

A very cool image, indeed. You have a great imagination. Congratulations!

upon lookcing clower at this piece, reading the texts that you have created and even upon the splayed images itself i am reminded of some stuff i had seen published by Games Workshop in a similar manner with the way that the Magos Biologis of the Imperium of Man would write about any form of Xenos, most notably Tyranids.
great work man, love the linework and the texts

woah you lost me... i geuss i will have to google Magos Biologis of the Imperium of Man ... but thanks for the comment.

sorry man, i didnt mean to lose you. ill explain things for you, Games Workshop makes a tabletop sci-fi wargame called Warhammer 40,000. it takes place in the very dark, grim gothic future of the 41st Millinium (i think i tore that spelling apart...oi). in this dark future, man has flung himself all across the galaxy and human technology has given way to mysticism, supersticion and the like. a good way to think of this is take the grim darkness of midevel times with the inqusition, warfare and all that political intrigue and slap high-tech with it.
anyway, technology itself is decaying in this timeperiod for humans. they dont know or understand much of what they have anymore. because of this (and many other reasons) those whom have made it their life to work with technology, science and all that stuff tend to be reffered to as 'Techno-Magi', and other such names. and it happens that that those that delve into the aspects of living things 'Biology, Botany, etc.) are part of the sect known as the 'Magos Biologis' (i may have torn the spelling of this apart as well).
with this in mnd, a lot of stuff that Games Workshop puts out in the way of sourcebooks, codices and such tend to have bits and pieces of fiction and stuff to go along with what the book or chapter is about...just to add some flavor to it. in one such rulebook for the Tyranid forces, they have a picture with writings very similar in voice to what your piece had.

Having recently studied Frankenstein in English, I can say that this image really does invoke images of a dark laboratory filled with bubbling crucibles... and the remains of this creature on a metal table with an anatomist poking about inside it with a scalpel... there's a really great story behind this image, it really stiumlates the imagination. Excellent work, and definitely one of my favourites.

Thanks!.... i actually reread chapters from the book before writing the anatomists thoughts....

Reads like a novel! Absolute believable.
Can't believe I missed you before!

I love the look of this 
How lovecraftian it is indeed, a macabre, a horror.
Of sorts. It holds a good placement in the abstract,
lovecraft inspired side of my brain. Even if it isn't,
lovecraft inspired
