I think you should put his eye back. If not, close it because not very mary people would keep their empty sockets open. I'm not missing an eye but I assume that it HURTS to expose that tissue. He looked better with it anyway. However, like I said before, you're the artist. _________________ "Everyone has 200,000 bad drawings in them, the sooner you get them out the better."

Well, see - therein lies the problem. I'm trying to hint at a relationship between the teddy bear, a classic icon for childhood fantasy, with the middle-aged, obese man. A bit of a stretch, but one I feel is valid, nonetheless. I'll explain further when I'm not at work, and idly tinkering with my current project.
Addendum:
Whenever an eye is lost, there is, as I understand it, no way to close the eye socket, seeing as the eyelids function on friction with the surface of the eye to find a form to close over, which is why you will see most people that do not have an eye, have an eye patch. There is a purpose to it besides aesthetics. |

Makes sense. Maybye I should study those anatomy books sitting in my room. But, anyway, I still think he looks better with an eye.
Beware. I can find endless problems with nearly anything (exept for this, in which I only found one problem currently) So be glad that I only foud ONE THING that I don't like! :flamedevil: _________________ "Everyone has 200,000 bad drawings in them, the sooner you get them out the better."

Well, that's the sole reason I post. I prefer critiques and to address concerns. When you spend a lot of time on a project, it's very easy to become acclimated to glaring issues an observer would catch. |

Looks excellent, as always.
One thing that kind of caught my eye (pun intended), is that, well, I'm no artist and all, but it seems a bit odd to me that his back hair happens to be profile with the angle. As in, it seems to just be hovering around the outline in a nice pattern fitting to the camera shot.
Perhaps there's a way to bring splotches of it further out so it doesn't seem so set up and more natural?
But again, I'm no artist.  |

another thing I noticed is that the location of the missing eye looks... strange. That eye always looked unusualy unusual. _________________ "Everyone has 200,000 bad drawings in them, the sooner you get them out the better."

I think you should add a background, or at least a pattern, the solid grey looks kind of bland. |

Disturbed, yes, but then what isn't. It would look real nice with color and it would also notch up the disturbing factor and haunt my nightmares forever.  _________________ ...eh? |

I didn't think it could be done, but you did it. There is more detail now in that one picture than ever before! I can never look too long at the man though... I always look to the bear for comfort after about 5 seconds. Then I see that it has it's brain showing... That just means there is good detail. Nothing wrong except the eye.

It's very nicely (and impressively) detailed. That worm in his eye is really freaky. |
