I don't know why I find this kind of... grotesque. But I like it very much. You did a great job blending the hammer steely texture with the skin its very smooth.

Constructive critique? What could I say. This is the stuff nightmares are made of, and you've got a wonderful sense of humor. Fantastic work.

So... The notorious Hammer Head finally committed a suicide. Speared his broken heart with a rusty old nail. Or is this a metaphore?

Anyway, it's still great.

I wish this one had a deep hidden meaning to it but it doesnt. I was just putting together something I thought looked cool. Thanks for your kind words though.

PixelGrinder [2005-05-01 21:51:26 +0000 UTC]

What can I say that hasnt already been said ?!

Aside from the minor shadow thing....The piece is flawless and has this "pro" thing going for it

The transition from the neck to the hammerhead is really well done

The whole B&W theme really binds all the elements in one thight "all shot at the same time" feel we photomanipulators always look for

The 3D aspect really jumps out at the viewer, and the leaves overlaping the frame really "takes it home"

Now see thats just creepy....you're starting to worry me Noko

Excellent work as usual...this seems to go a bit deeper in meaning than some of your other works...I'm looking at it and taking note of some of the smaller pieces such as the hollow arms...the ivy...things like that seem to be getting at something, but I can't tell what. Good imagery here.

Thanks Arc.....as far as meaning of this manip, there realy isnt one lol. I just thought the things I put in to it looked cool. I am trying to change or look for a new style for myself though. This will be the first of many I hope.

chiachrome [2005-02-17 19:54:32 +0000 UTC]

this is very impressive. first thought? "he's got a wood." yeah yeah. i'm immature. so what. i think everything's perfect except for the pointy end of the spike. like maybe it should be darker cuz it's in the shadows? or i might be trying too hard to come up with a critique for something that's just fine. ^_^ great. now i'm gonna have that song stuck in my head all day. *i'd rather be a hammer than a nail*

theartofjayharrison [2005-02-02 09:47:51 +0000 UTC]

the lower half (the wood) seems very out of place. BUT the hammerhead itself and the blending onto the body minorly makes up for it.

FernandoTabanera [2005-02-01 21:06:39 +0000 UTC]

Impressive piece, great blending all around. There is just one thing that bothers me about it ... The tree stump (is that the right expression) in the bottom, i don't really know why but it just seem very distracting in some way ... Can't really put my finger on it, it just doesn't fit in somehow IMO. Anyways this is a kicka** piece, you really know your blending and it shows ... must this ... Keep it up!

sergiofx [2005-02-01 19:38:30 +0000 UTC]

this is really good..

the best part is where the nail goes into the body, it is actually making a bump under the skin... how the fuck did u notice to do that? damn!

I love the background, good work on the plants our of the border....

Maybe the one thing i dont like is that it looks like the hammer is going through the nail on the right part... it maybe me, but it seems something wrong..

Other, i think that the shadow of the nail, again on the right part, should disapear behind the body... i mean, add the shadow on the skin, but here, u added the shadow on the background as well... that gives the whole piece an effect that the man is flat and pressing againt the background.. u know what i mean?

good work on the blending between the hammer head and the neck, very realistic effect...

I love the effect of the wood instead of his legs, but i dont know, seems that it doesnt fit here... i might be wrong again...

other than that, this is really well done...
