OH man, that is WILD! Everything from the color to the concept and subject matter just flows perfectly. So unusual and weird. I'm in love with this!

This is very strong, reminds me the "Climbing up the Walls" lyrics, by Radiohead, even if it's not exactly what they describe, the feeling of violent loneliness is about the same.

it seems almost 3D the way you've applied the paint, the colors seem to be misleading to the terror festering beneath

ooooo I like this a lot. I feel like if someone were surrounded by images like this in a dark room they'd eventually go insane and imagine the pictures moving by themselves.
What do you you for thinning the paint, if you don't mind me asking; actual acrylic thinner or just plain old water? I'm just asking because I don't thin my paint as much as I should and was wondering what a good suggestion would be.
Looks great

Water. It's cheaper than acrylic thinner and works just as well.

I try to stay away from canvas boards as they warp over time. This is a very original and thought provoking piece, although I think the limited pallette makes it look rather dull. Maybe a lil' green or a dull yellow to induce a feeling of uneasiness would complete this. I do like it, just think it needs some more.

Thanks for the input! Unfortunately, I have a rather limited palette to work with at the moment.

Mostly my thoughts stab other people, that I don't know...
Great work. I love the textures and the colours you used - even though there's pink! That's quite an accomplishment, making me like pink! As for the critique, you might want to make the thumb (I assume it is the thumb - I mean the finger with no visible nail) a bit lighter or more diffused, so that the other fingers stand out a bit more, thus creating more depth. Other than that, good job

No problem. I love how complex it is O_O
And yet simple with the colors and such.
REALLY good job
