Boneman

I wasn't too crazy about the lighting or posing of this piece, but I thought that the design was kind of neat. I love creatures with bones showing or huge tusks! I love tentacles too, I had to stop myself from adding tentacles to this thing.

Yes, that is a cool design. I especially like the design/expression on its face, with the stretched lower lip. I can practically hear him going "raaaaaawwwrrr!!" :P Cheesy, yeah, but I'm getting that sound effect very clearly when I look at this piece.

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I hadn't thought about "mask" stuff on his chest Davi but I do tend to make abstract shapes for some of the design elements rather than more structured specific anatomy.

Moai, I totally tried to give him a screaming feel. Odd as it sounds, I imagined a high pitch screech as I was painting him.

Simon, I'm glad that you like him, I'm sure that I'll be doing more skull faced beasts in the future!!!

thanks again guys!
