Keep going.. I think if you add as much detail to the environment as you have the egg it will look much cooler!

I'm digin' it. I'm not very good at digital painting, or normal painting for that matter. I like the detail, just need to bring the environment up to the same level. That could take some time :)

Do you have any concept sketches?

Intresting illustration. Everything seems very blury, so it makes it hard to tell whats going on and what we are looking at. If you hadn't titled that thread Alien egg, I would have had no idea what I was looking at. Thats just my 2 cents. If you were to go back and sharpen up all the lines and detail, i bet it would look pretty cool.

I guess if it were me, I would just go to a smaller brush and start painting details. Its kinda hard to paint details with a large brush that is feathered.
