totally awesome !!..the old dude is pretty creepy with that eye just staring at you all the time..i like hoe the angle of the back wall gives the illusion that he is coming up out of the depths..everyone freaks about roaches..there was this guy on 'believe it or not'..he fit nine of them in his mouth alive and then let them crawl out one-by-one..

The idea of weird guy and pet cockroaches go together like ketchup
and french fries.

I love the use of lighting, especially the highlighting of the eyes or eye in this case like in old horror movies.

But if this isn't suppose to be Roach from The People Under the Stairs, then me bad for making assumptions.

Nah, it wasn't but a lot of people thought that. It's pretty funny, I am surprised how many people remember that character from the movie.

MissNicolette In reply to sideshowmonkey [2006-08-28 04:41:22 +0000 UTC]

The People Under the Stairs.

And actually a couple weeks before that I watched Dead Alive and notice you did an image on that too.

Zombie-like [2006-08-24 04:29:22 +0000 UTC]

Superb, etc.

I still say you're the best horror artist around.

It reminded me of the first zombie in Resident Evil, as it turns to the camera. Don't ask why, since it's scarcely reminiscent of it in any way. Maybe you could do a thing like that. Certainly wouldn't be a dud! But like that matters.

I like this... but I'm dissapointed. I read the title and immediately thought it was going to be "People Under the Stairs" fanart!
But I do like his little roachies...

elementc [2006-08-23 20:12:50 +0000 UTC]

The only way I can see any part of him other than his head is to crank my brightness up to the maximum setting... but then my eyes start that whole spontaneous combustion thing.

sideshowmonkey In reply to elementc [2006-08-23 20:15:46 +0000 UTC]

Ha! That was the point. Keep it dark but have detail in there so if you really look you can see stuff.

elementc In reply to sideshowmonkey [2006-08-23 20:21:04 +0000 UTC]

Yeah but my monitor is literallly showing his body as a solid tone off off black. Haha... that's a funny way to put it I guess.

That was also the fasted reply I think I've gotten from you to date.
