I\'ve been following this from the start though this is the first time that I have posted in the thread, that looks bloody ace, can\'t say anything more than that.
that blood/saliva drip (w/e ud call it) is really awesome. Hes def worth at least a high 8, my only prob is the fur seems bland, but Im assuming its just the picture.
I think it\'s my lighting that\'s OTT, I meant to take the final pics in RAW, thus giving me complete control over the exposure etc, might do that tonight actually
I\'d say yes with a Neutral Grey background.
Looking at the pics you have it seems as if the white is adding to the lighting and reducing the contrast to areas.
I kept quiet on this initially because I didn\'t really like it but it turns out you did youself a massive disservice by taking rubbish initial photos.
The painting is DAMN good to my eyes... I love what you\'ve done with the gore and textures... it does look really horific which I think is how it should look.
