So this I did in about 2 hours while I was taking a break. The reference I used for the skeleton looks quite a bit different than from how this turned out, so I'm not sure if I have everything right x/ Also, I've never drawn blood before (I just decided to add some in last minute), and didn't use a reference, so I probably failed at that too, lol.
Sorry for making something so gruesome, I'll be sure to make something happier in the future I promise ^_^

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY VIOLENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I...I mean uh... That's disturbing?


So first off with the skeleton, I see his arm isn't completely connected/ there's no shoulder that's attaching it to the body, in fact there's no collar bone either. A little further into detail I also noticed that there's no joint connecting the bottom jaw to the top one... Or is that the smudgy part of his cheek?

The boy I feel could have more expression. After all a walking skeleton covered in blood and gore is like... !!!RIGHT THERE!!! then again, his blank expression does give it a more eerie feel. Still...

I think the skeleton should be looking back at him as it passes him, that way you can see at least a 3/4 view of his features, and also so you can have one eyeball hanging out of his other eye socket... Mwhehehe... Gruesomeness

Over all, it's a great picture. It's totally different from all the others that you've posted so far, which makes me proud of you for branching out and exploring your own talents :) the blood is a nice touch, maybe splatter some on the dude for good measure?

I'm sorry I have a strange sociopathic appreciation for violence ever since I watched Sweeny Todd (I'm a huge Tim Burton, Helena Bonham Carter/ Johnny Depp fan) and Dexter (Such a great show)

So yeah great job :D keep em coming

Hey! I quite like this different from your usual stuff. I like the roughness of it and the idea behind it. Rather dark and mysterious.

Positives: It looks quite real, well done on the kid ( the alive one) I like the colors and lines of the shirt and the facial expression the nose and lips where very well done. The eyes where a little cartoony but that does not really matter. Nice work on the neck and the collar bone. Hairs quite good too but it frames his face a little strangely.

Negative: I suggest you look up pictures of skeletons, they are quite hard to draw. But nice Idea anyway!

Good luck!

Well he may be bare-boned, but this review sure won't be! :D

I like the color and shading on the skeleton a lot. He looks like a very believable manga character, and the blood dripping from the mouth, positively Burton-Tarantino incredible! Haha. It's great how it has eyes! I love the indent in the skull and the rib cage, and the neck. All comes together very well. It's good as it is as a cartoon character, but if you want to draw a more realistic one, find the closest biology book and take a look! :D

The boy is very nicely drawn as well! As always, you draw hair incredibly well with color and shading, and the range of different values and tones on his skin and shirt is absolutely marvelous! :D The eyes are great, and I love the expression, like "oh, another skeleton (sigh)." Lol. You know I love all your art, keep it up!
