Congratulations on being a Splice "Create A Creature" contest semi-finalist! The director of Splice, Vincenzo Natali, had this to say about your entry:
"HP Lovecraft would be proud."

I really enjoy this piece, it is very detailed, great color, I really like how the creature looks like it emerges out of the dark, very nice :#1: I hope you win!

I entered the contest too, but I am kinda a newbie. I was hoping that you might be able to give me some advice on how I might improve my techniques for the next time. Here is the links to the pieces I entered.

Your most welcome :) and I think your advice is very sound here, I have not actually started working in digital yet but I plan on getting a computer specifically for digital art soon, any advice where I might find good tutorials for digital painting :-? I will definately start going to that website and seek advice, once I have something more to show. good luck again, I hope you win :#1:

Vampire squid are terrifying! They look awesome, but are pretty freaky.

In any case, that's a wicked picture!

I like the motion it emotes, very cool escaping monster thing, looks damn scary but not really a villain, more like another victim, just not a wimpy one, very creative and the use of color just makes it pop. Best of luck to ya!

ah, thank you. more or less exactly what i was thinking while working on it. the bioluminescence is an escape mechanism for the vamp squid, along with cloaking its self with its toothy veil. but that would look weird so the rhino charging came into play. much appreciated, cheers :beer:
