This was my final project for figure illustration. I wanted to give a sense of discovery as well as maybe even desperation. This can be viewed a ton of different ways, which was the intention.
It might be a little dark from the picture, but there are two men in the shadow by the creature who is indeed holding something out to them
AWESOME! Love the way this came out! Definitely thought the piece was something special when you uploaded the "draft" before, and man, it sure came out that better than I could've imagined. Totally nailed it! Looks amazing, can't say much more than has already been said better by everyone else. Wish I hadn't been offline for so long and had to wait till now to see this! Again, great job, love it!
Hehe, thanks dude I totally agree. I always tend to surprise myself, which is good. As soon as that stops happening, I'm in trouble, cause it means I'm not growing anymore
Thanks dude... I know what you mean about the expression, though. I really couldn't figure out a good way to make him look, so I gave him that so the composition is more open to interpretation instead of a set-in-stone idea.
The expression of guy in the foreground looking at us seems a little neutral to me, but otherwise great work. Well done!
