Yo, my girlfriend is in your class....

Anyways, this piece is cool. Are you familiar with Wayshak and with Banach? It reminds me quite a bit of both of these guys. How many hours did you clock on it?

the first thing that came to my mind was "UT OH dark stuff!"

then I saw the little kid looking things in the rib cage and started laughing...

thanks that was a good laugh!

...i really like the paint application on the cards in the foreground and the gray background

I like the mood, probably because I have a creepy view of circuses and carnivals. I also like the colors and the people inside the thing.

The cards make me think more of a carnival than a circus, or maybe even a magic show. It's been a long time since I last went to a circus, so I'm not sure what they have there.

One thing I'd change if I were to edit the picture is the drill. I'm not sure what that's about.
