Contest entry for Horror theme

Wow you did really good, great shading work. I really like how the necks and heads are comming out of that one body its really cool. Good job, it would look really good if you colored it too, but either way its really great!

I really love this piece! It might be weird, but my favorite thing is the mouths. The detailing to them is simple, and yet grand at the same time. I just love them XD

The one issue I have with the piece is just that you're missing the question mark after "Will you b next" I can understand that you didn't want any conflict happening with the hand coming out, but I still think you could have squeezed it in there, as well as the "e" for "be", but those are just pet peeves of mine, so they're really not that necessary. It's your art, but art is all about voicing your opinion XD

I love it not colored, I think the only thing to take it to the next level is to just highlight it in black ink to make it even more dramatic. Of course, if you don't have experience in drawing with ink, I wouldn't dare touch it with it. But like I said, I love this

This is really good, I like how the faces are so dramatic. That is definitely my favorite part of this pic. I really like how the one in the middle has white eyes, I always thought that white or empty eyes were creepy x) I also like the text 'Will you b next"

There are a few things that I was unsure about and I thought you would've added more detail to make it clear. It's hard to tell if those things were coming out of the one's shoulders, or from off behind it. Also, are their necks really long or are they kind of wispy like smoke? The guy in the middle, are the lines on his chest like veins or something else? Is the background supposed to be like a cobweb or a target sign? What is the "Poison 'Cloak'" supposed to be? I get that there's stuff that's supposed to be left to the imagination, but I couldn't make heads or tails of a lot of this.

I really was spooked by this so I have to say it was a success in the contest xD

Hope I helped a bit,

If I knew anything about art, I would be able to give this some sort of critique, but I just wanted to share that I thought this was really sublime and kind of freaky. I d, however, feel like I'm missing out on the eyes of the main guy. I know the eyes are supposed to be rolled into the back of the head, but even if I just got some blood-shot lines or something, it'd give this guy a bit more character and pain, you know?

But, what do I know, right? I can hardly write.

This is awesomely disturbing.

Well...the above reviews have pretty much covered the critiques. My only nitpick is that the main figure's left shoulder looks longer than the other - just a minor detail, though. Also, I second a few of BlackSheep's questions. Namely, these two:

The detail in the faces is excellent; the shading and proportion are right-on. The face on the left is probably going to haunt me for a couple of weeks...something about those eyes...

*Shudders* Anyway. I'd say you definitely nailed the 'horror' theme. Keep up the good work!

(Also, 'cloack' should be spelled 'cloak'. Sorry, my inner editor was bugging me to point that out.)

That would definitely fit the horror theme, like Payne said, you just nailed it! Like the concept, love the shading and I strangely admire that creature on the right! It is very well drawn and the almost popped-out eyes make it look creepy, yet so incredible. While looking at your drawing, it seemed that I am having the same question Blacksheep and Payne had asked before, are the creatures behind coming the man's shoulders or from behind him as if they're haunting him?
That drawing would definitely rock with some colours, so my only suggestion would be to add some colours to it.
