Title: Feeding time
Name: Tudor Golu
Country: Romania
Software: Photoshop

I was very shy and unsure whether to show this here or not, but I have nothing to lose anyway...
This...thing started as one of those drawings you make when you are bored. That means I made it during classes at highschool, months ago. This is how it looked like: http://features.cgsociety.org/gallerycrits/148230/148230_1142958855_medium.jpg
And then I just decided to color it...I wanted it a bit monochromatic (a bit more actually), but that fact was a major disliker to many. I also wanted to preserve the hatching style from the original drawing. It also has many nasty parts, like the composition, which is almost inexistent, perspective, color balance and variation and many others.
The theme itself...well, there isn't one unfortunately. I know that a drawing which doesn't express anything is worthless. These are just random thoughts of mine. Anyway, nothing is evil or something like that in this drawing, that's for sure.
Umm...yes, that's about it I think.

The thing is, I really like the drawing. But I appreciate your modesty.
The atmosphere is well portrayed, the texture is creepy enough to give you the chills, and there is also some irony or humour in it. The degenerated humanity of the creatures is what makes them so human.
It doesn't really have to have a message or a meaning behind it; every viewer can give his or her significance and idiosyncratic sense. One must only let the feelings flow.
Great image, bravo. And, now I know it sounds so stupid and old, but: keep up the good work.
Cheers,
Liviu.

I like it. There is an interesting style to this. The anatomy may be off and forms may be asymetrical in places but I'm not putting that against this because I have afascination with random creations too and your use of texture and lighting is very good. With this kind of art its as though you have an original style thats not really influenced by anything else other than your mind and I respect that. I think what could really help this is if you adjusted your creatures eyes so they were looking at the dangling man and have more of that light glimmering on their eyeballs, then I would have really gotten a chill down my spine.

I hope you don't mind me making this little alter to your finished piece but I think it will be a lot stronger with these changes. I scaled the canvas size up a little at the top so that the composition worked better with the eye of the monster and the little person lining up with the corners( 3 grid rule) and also gave more emphasis on the eye of the monster. This is just my $.02
