Artist's Comments Download to see all detailsEdit: Made a few adjustments and made some of the details a little more sharper. Waiting for who will make the first move. This painting was so much fun. I really had no problems and loved doing every little detail. I have not done males in a long time and wanted to have something new to work on. I am shocked that it really didn't take long at all. I have class in the moring until 5pm and I will not be able to work on this until then..so I went ahead and posted this. I am sure there is more I can do to this painting. If anyone sees something that is worth changing or making...I will update it. I just wanted to post it to see what others think. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Critiques
The tattoo on the back of the next is a very nice touch.
The highlights on the drool are stellar, and the skin tones are spot on. A quick glance could mistake this one for a photo. The subtle background give a nice watercolour feel to the whole painting.
The only thing that strikes me as slighly odd is that the human is staring directly into the creatures nose, a slight up tilt or down tilt might have added a touch of flow to the painting as a whole.
The realisum blows me away!!
I am amazed at the level of detail on the human figure, it has a photo realistic quality to it. The fine hairs on his head and face/ neck are so perfectly done! I especially like the addition of the scars, it seems to add to the overall feeling of danger.
The creativity on the more monstrous figure is wonderful! The impact of his facial expression is phenomenal.
The one thing about this painting that I feel could be looked at for improvement is the eye of the human guy. I know his eyes are fairly closed in the ref pic, but it seems to detract from the connection of the two. I would envision them staring each other down more.
Overall this painting is a compelling example of *LindaLisa's mastery of her medium and its realistic quality and intensity really draws the viewer in!
