Description
Started off as a quick sketch, that eventually became this.I want to say almost 3 hours? But who knows.
Some wayward hunter hunting some giant beast thing. Originally was going to make it a spider with a giant claw emerging from the blackness, but who has the time anymore?
Background/ice cave looks so horrible I think. I really hope I figure out how to make those. Looks like a bunch of randomly placed textures but it's actually my first attempt with the Dual Brush feature. :T
The hunter is pulling an arrow from his quiver, not pointing or something, by the way. Oh, and I drew him life-sized, but then later shrunk him. Such a waste : p

I like how the eyes glow

maybe if you add perhaps an "Accented Edges" or "Plastic Wrap" filter to the ice, it would look better. Or maybe experiment with a smart blur, or unsharp mask then blur.
It still looks really good. it looks unfinished though. because the ice doesnt look exactly like ice. you know?
I love the concept though. It's really cool.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately I doubt filters or masks will help me here. I think I just gotta straight up learn how to paint it. I'm trying, but it's kinda hard : P Eventually I'll get it hopefully
How would you feel about one of the creature's arms slowly emerging from the shadows?

I think it would give it a different.. idk... tone? Instead of the hunter finding his prey, that any viewer can see is way to big and powerful for him, and there being a kind of sinister, ominous vibe, I think it would change to almost panicky and shock. Instead of just being awed by the creatures eyes, it would almost cause excitement. not only do you have these creepy eyes watching you, there's this arm that belongs to an unknown creature reaching for you at the same time. idk if I'm making much sense. It makes sense in my head.
And of course, the arm would have to live up to expectations. If it doesn't match the eyes... it may bring down the hype. It needs to feel right. not out of place. It needs to match the style or it could become awkward.
