Nice work, but I think that you should change his face's color to a more darker tone and make the eyes red.

Anyone here plays Tibia?

Tibia is the best MMORPG that i've ever seen...xD

thanks Slashor.It still has quite a bit of work to be done.
Like the steam has to be less blobby and other matters have to be addressed.

nice

I like the smoke coming out of that vent. You should add the rings around the top and bottom of the circular vent like in your previous picture, to make it look more connected to the ceiling.

Also, some more contrast may be needed on the left of the image - the walls, ceiling, and smoke are too similar.

The grate/sewer bars on the top left need some work too, they seem a little too crisp or something.

not all of us are on 24/7 shane user added image

Looking well scary with the clown in user added image

I think the background really needs darkening off as its there to give an impression, not to take the focus off the clown. Adding the shadows will probably help with that anyways.

Good work, wish I could create scenes as fast!

Perhaps you should turn down the motion blur of the spiders.

Nobody felt like avenging your death. Sorry.

Well

My last input will be my final.
Thanks Joe.Ive takenyour advice and I believe it was crltical to this admittance.The shadows help a lot.
The spider is suposed to be the threat.The clown is just the salesman.
The candy will be presented at the time given.
I await to see the other entries
I have seen good or even greater entries in the other forums
and I believe there is more to come.
I hope you all need this Wacom as much as I do.
If you guys can,check out the fairy baby,Absolutely awesome.Max or Lightwave,Cant remember.
Real talent that man has.
Regards
Shane
May the clown be with you.
