i like the level of detail youve put into it... shows that you really wanted to make something out of it.

That's one bad ass koala!
Great detail and style. I like the eyes a lot - very psychotic.

dude...what did you use to create this image. it's awesome.

[strych9ine]

Yeah man, I love this. The folds in the skin blow me away...

[stalecracker]

Thanks!

It's done from start to finish in Photoshop 7.

Man, your attention to detail is astounding.. I wish youd make a tutorial, ive always liked your paintings..

[benzo]

wow! that is awesome!! the coolest creature i've seen in a while... at first i though some of it was acrylic.... you really pulled it off with the details and the textures... everything.

to be picky and honest, the one aspect that bothers me a little bit is the transparency of the red in the background. it looks like you lowered the transparency of that layer so the creature would pop out more. which is good

but some area of the red stroke on the upper right coming from behind its head and ear is very flat... i know its the background but i want to see more saturation in the color or more texture in the stroke.... what are your thoughts on this or your intention for the bg?

thanks for inspiring me with this stalecracker! i love the scratchmarks all over its skin. if it could talk like an aussie that would be very unsettling

the best part of an awesome piece is the inside of the mouth, really creates a believeable space. I would have never thought I would be scared of a were-koala.

[deschamps]

Excellent! Love seeing your stuff.

[catterpillar]

Argh! It's a koala with fuckin 'roid rage! RUN AWAY!

[NOOSE]

[liquidwerx]

[Atmospheria]

nice datails and textures....also the background texture is cool too...i love huge brush strokes!

[wronghand]

That's cool!, the background reminds me a bit of Ralph Steadman, which
combined with the rendered foreground works really well.

That's an awesome illustration I remember seeing your illustration over at cgtalk. :D

[cos]

Awesome texture and detail in this. Very tight yet has great experimentalness aswell.

Would love to see some close-up shots!

*sob*

the cool koala has been eaten by big and mean starfish

poor koala...

[sea minus]

That guy must have challenged its freedom.:rambo: :god:

[PhilHolland]

Well stalecracker,

I have to say that beyond a good character design, the thing that really makes this work is the composition and color.

Excellent work.

Thanks for sharing.

Hey I remember I noticed that picture as one of those that stood out when I received the book. Excellent work, and I'm very impressed of how much work you must have putten into this one and the other, with that amount of detail. :balloon:

[heiesuke]

[Franz Steiner]

great imagination, good painting, if I try to find something that bothers me it might be
the schadow on his paints. But great work.:D
