dutchshader Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 The right side of the head looks a little strange, the hole in the head looks a little bigger than the head bodobe 1 Quote intel core i5, 16GB 128Gb ssd win10 Pro Huion new 1060plus. philips 272p 2560x1440px on intel HD2500 onboard graphics Razer Tartarus Chroma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Lovely work as usual. Creepy but very nicely done. I agree with dutchshader, the hole does seem to extend further out than the curve of the head suggests. Maybe a crack, or two, on the cut of the skull could be a "quick" fix? (Never thought I'd be talking about putting cracks in a skull when I woke up today.) bodobe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kasper-V Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Reminds me of some of the Quay Brothers creepy animations (in a good way!) bodobe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodobe Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 @ Kasper-V,thanks for your comment, very interesting. Quay Brothers are very well known (i like the style), but the cut off heads have a different source with me Quote Illustration & Grafik bodobe.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaymondDO Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Not something I'd show my 8-year young daughter -- which is a compliment to you! I like how you balanced the implied gruesomeness of the scene with the design's overall softness, sensing this makes the visual all the more confronting. Great angle; the head-first approach transforms us in a third-party bystander, arriving seemingly too late to witness the butchery, and to prevent it from happening. With that, your design actually introduces a sense of time; a sense of inevitability. Will dismount my philosophical high-horse now; all meant as compliments!

I am very glad that this is recognizable, so great, thank you! Thanks for your great comment, and for your honest opinion. 2 hours ago, RaymondDO said: Will dismount my philosophical high-horse now; all meant as compliments! you're fine, get back on the horse Thank you!
