Description

Title: Nocturnal Predator
Name: Michael Corriero
Country: USA
Software: Photoshop 7.0

As seen in ImagineFX issue 04, 2dartist magazine issue 013 and Expose 4. This image was originally done as a weekly topic on an art forum.

Done entirely in Photoshop 7.0 if I remember correctly although I use CS2 now. This is a crossbreed between werewolves and vampires. Hanging upside down in the moonlight this creature digest sprays acid mucus on its victims.

Hope you guys like this.

nice work

great colours

the upside down pov is nice,
although i would have like to see a bit more definition
that the creature really IS upside down.

The wings could use a bit more details

Great design on the head

Wallace@- Thanks for the crit, a lot of good points. I appreciate you taking the time to give some advice. This is one of those things where I see the flaws myself and could most likely go in and fix them, but the image was posted as a part of a competition. I only slightly reworked it after then but felt like I should just move on and leave the areas that aren't as precise or detailed as the face how they were. I do agree 100% with your observations. Thanks for the +9 vote too

ARZILLIER66@- Thanks man, he some how became a little more creepy when I flipped him upside down. It's the glazed over eyes that give him the undead creepy feeling I think.

Juro@- Thanks man ;)

Daykan@- Thanks, I appreciate that compliment a lot.

Thanks for the votes, compliments and crits so far guys.

great work!
I do agree with wallace in that it doesnt really look upside down. To me its like he's sitting on a rock and its US who are upside down looking at it :p
great work otherwise, the face is brilliant in a scary kind of way :p
9/9

Hey Mike!! Hows it going man? Good to see your work up in Gfx. Well im not sure about adding more definition to this piece...I believe you can go too far when its just a matter of wasted time, it communicates well and design wise is top notch...full marks bud! well done

gurcan@- thanks man, I appreciate the vote too.

Diegoth@- Thanks

Dejanira@- Thanks, this had been mentioned a couple times to me on another forum. I did add a few things to "help" the issue like the hanging vines and some falling debris, I guess I've looked at it so often and because I created it.. it doesn't appear so upside down to me. However if I looked at it as a fresh viewer for the first time, I'm sure I'd say the same thing ;) . I appreciate the vote, thanks. :)

SeanyD@- Hey man, thanks. Yea I just started posting here a few days agao. Things are going well, I didn't think anyone else from CA posted over here :) - thanks for the vote

Awesome creature, I don't really have any crits, but I thought about it and I gotta ask, where dose the horns come from, the vampier or the werewolf, I don't remember seeing any of them with horns :p

anyway, great work!

Limebloom@- Thanks. The idea behind the creature too that doesn't exist in Werewolves or Vampire's was that this thing doesn't turn into a human or humanoid form - It just exists as it appears here, a creature for all time. I would imagine evolution took some creative freedom and produced the horn protrusions or maybe it was artistic freedom ;) I felt he looked more interesting.

I love this painting, I think it is one of my favorite pieces of your work that I have seen. The eyes and mouth are so creepy, combined with the disorientating effect of him being upside down it does a great job of taking you out of your comfort zone. Great job!

CreativeSchism@- Thanks man

ZedoCaixao@- Thanks man, glad you enjoy the piece so much. I appreciate the top score vote ;)

BlueDream@- Thanks :)

FreeWingStudios@- Thanks, a lot of people seem to like this piece out of most of my work wherever I have posted my art. I guess it must be the uncomfortable upside down perspective of things along with the glazed over eyes.
