Description
Had this idea before I went on hols, and started it a couple of weeks ago. Grabbed my Canon G6, pulled some gnarly hand shapes, and then sat infront of a mirror screaming for a bit, until I found a better image on Stckxchg to use as reference. Finished today in 4 hours straight, after getting back from aforementioned hols.
As usual with my fantasy/horror stuff, painted in Photoshop CS with my Wacom.

Done in 4 hours? How do you do it so quickly? Maybe you have some tips on how to get better?
As right now I'm doing my first drawing that is completely painted digitally. I need to learn, and practice.
I love the concept of this. Did you copy the mouth-part and put that inside his mouth after resizing, or did you paint it all?

You have no idea how this is interpreted by other people
And that is what makes it great.
You are extremely gifted, both for the idea and the technical dexterity.

This is indeed one of my pictures here at Deviant Art. It not only gives a disturbing and unique tone, but it's repetition is extraordinary.

Great job there.

Usually I find infinity to be somewhat calming, but this ain't no Russian doll. It looks like someone giving birth to their inner demon; and they might just need a Cesarean. I'm forced to make this a fav, even though it's going to make me shudder every time I look at my page. Great stuff as always: you've gotten even better in the two years I've been gone!

This is really strong and beautifully crafted. It also reminds me quite eerily of this poem [link] I submitted earlier today, before seeing this.

woah!
Kickass, but kinda scary.
I just started to compare it to Marilyn manson, and then i remembered that I don't like any of his songs o.o;
Scary, but very, very, very cool.
I like this type of work of yours XD
(Baatezu!! XD)

The textures are simply superb. I like the contrast between the lips and outter skin in that I see a symbolic reference to the tainted portions and the locked away interior trying to break from one another.

Sometimes you really do scare the bejesus outta me.
THe colour scheme is very effective here, that desaturated green contrasting with the red, not only does that make it more dynamic but it makes it feel very sickly as well. My only suggestion with regards to the colour scheme would perhaps be some slight yellowing of highlights here and there, or perhaps the teeth, just to really give it that putrid feel. Then again, that might ruin the restricted pallette, so I'll leave the choice up to you...
The texture is awesome, and very creepy, but there are a couple of places where it doesn't quite fit - for the face I'm mostly looking at the lines from the nose to the mouth (I forget what they're called, the bits the cheeks make when you smile. Or scream in agony). Some of the fingers in the mouth seem quite blurred, as well, not as sharp as the rest of the picture.
A bit of darkening as we fall down the throat through the infinite array of screams would give it that extra depth as well, I think. I don't think faking focus would work as well here, but just increasing the shadows as we it goes down would look a little more realistic.
This might seem like quite an odd thing to put into a painting... but I think a bit of noise here would really increase the horror feel. Grain makes it feel that little bit sharper, and little bit odder in a very subtle way that can act quite subconsciously. The best way to apply it would be monochrome noise under a colour layer, so that it matches up with the picture, as you definitely don't want rainbow noise. It might be worth a brief comparison for you anyway, as it's just one filter to apply
Again, excellently painted (the nose, for whatever reason, strikes me as very well done), and as creepy as a local pub in Wales. Stellar work

This is brilliant(.period)
You are very good at painting via wacom, is there any tutorials or sites you can refer me to, to get to grips with painting digitally in photshop with detail? keep up the good work.
