First Photoshop (nightmare concept)

[Capprotti]

This was an idea that attacked my imagination as soon as a friend of mine was describing a recurring nightmare to me. This is a basic sketch of the guy from her dream, but I intend to continue to illustrate things from her nightmare. It was very vivid and creepy. It really got the juices flowin.

Oh, this was also my first semi-serious, semi-successful photoshop painting. If you have crits, please share them.

PS - The hand on the left is unfinished, I'll get around to it soon :D.

cool stuff, i love the feeling it conveys, at any rate the right leg and right foot seem to be a bit off, other than that it seems great.

Good image so far.

How extreme was this nightmare? Perhaps you could push or warp the character even more. Maybe if you add more 'disgusting' colours in eg: yellow, green type hues on the skin etc you'll create more of a unnatural, nightmarish appearance.

There is nothing wrong with the rendering, but it doesn't seem very extreme for a nightmare vision. Use this as the basis and PUSH THE IMAGE.

Warp it, change the angle, exagerate the man, F**K with IT!

Just suggestions.

I like it, nice color job.
