Nice work over all. I like the depressively looking fish/monster :)
But in my opinion the outlines are too bold. So the fine structures loose their effect (cannot explain it better) especially in the first picture. There are many hinted details, but they don't stand out because my focus gets instantly on these bold outlines...
