Hi!
Here is a piece that im working on next to my challenge entry. I was very happy with my concept but im not sure im on the path to finish it in a worthy way... :/ If this image becomes what i have in mind i will probably use it for my portfolio to get into a school this year.

I dont mind harsh crits! especially on anatomy, composition, storytelling and on my techniqes(have in mind that its a wip)..

There will be another small lightsource but not that much.. i may have to brighten it up a bit..?

It has a story behind it and i would love to hear what you think is happening in the scene!
The thing i want to focus on in this piece is characters telling a story with emotions..

Hey Frozzt,

Cool concept you have here, I like the idea! Couple ideas based on the description of the picture you gave me the other day:

I don't really feel the connection between the father and the son, perhaps make their skin tones the same; very pale, obviously different from the lady. And the clothing as well, I know you wanted to keep the light hair on the son, but perhaps give him the same style of dark clothes as the father.

The lady looks pretty much dead, I think this is the position of the head. Obviously it's in the position for him to bite her neck, but if she trusts him, and doesn't believe that he's going to do it, why would she be posed like that? And if her head is tilted, perhaps have her looking at his face, looking into his eyes?

Another idea for the father, have him looking at the son, and perhaps (and I know this kind of ruins your current composition) add another person who has clearly just been killed by him?

Anyway, just some ideas, it's a cool start, looking forward to seeing more! :)
