Description
With the Toronto Fan Expo coming up the end of August I figured it was time to start getting some prints together. The plan is that this is the first in a series of four. And the fact that it was uploaded on Friday the 13th, that's just a fun coincidence.Related content

I kind of like this it looks like the mask is graphed to his face.

This is amazing. Pure and simple. There's something about Jason's eyes that seem so... unforgiving. Gives me a sense of impending doom....

Oh wow, I love your style. Jason bulging eyes and the sharp edges on the mask absolutely makes the piece intimidating.
I adore everything about this!!

This is awesome! Might I add one little critique though? The eyes don't seem to fit in with the rest of it stylistically.. they're too sharp around the edges and too dull on the inside... maybe it's the high contrast compared to the rest of the image... I don't know exactly. My eyes are definitely drawn to them, but something seems off and bothering me about them.
I absolutely love the mask though. The blood spatters are really well done, and the muted colors are wonderful.

First off, thanks and you can always critique alittle.
It's funny you picked what you did because there were actually a few things i was trying there but wasn't sure if I had achieved. The eyes are supposed to be the first thing you see which is why they have a higher contrast than the rest of the image. It's also why they're sharper. If you look at Dave Raposa's work he does a really great job of only detailing the most important things but leaving other areas loose and that was something I wanted to try. I think though that I probably could have put a bit more detail into his neck to help tie it into his mask.
And about the dull eyes... the intention was to give it a glossed over feel, as though he wasn't so much looking at you as he was looking through you. Sort of a murderous indifference to your existence.
I hope this didn't come across as me making excuses because it isn't. Just addressing the fact that some of the faults in the image were things I specifically did and they may not have worked out 100% this time. We'll see how the next one goes.

Don't get me wrong. I like the overall effect. I know what you were going for and I think you almost got it, but like I said, something seems a little bit off, like it doesn't belong somehow. But it's like... 90% of the way there. The higher contrast of the eye area in relation to the rest of the picture is perfect, but it's the contrast between the lids and the eyeballs themselves that doesn't meld. I think it might really just the super sharp, really light lines defining the lids that feel not quite right to me. Rendering a bit more with maybe a 1 or 2 px bigger brush on some bits with a slightly duller highlight to match the style of the rest of the mask might "fix" it, along with higher contrast or saturation within the eyeball and iris but keeping the lighter pupil to retain the "glossed over" look. The contrast would still be there without the distracting seemingly razor-sharp lines that don't fit in with the rest of it.
All in all though, I love the style of this poster a lot. You're a talented dude.

That's fair. Something to think about while moving on to the next in the series.
