The guardian of the temple of Cthulu? Good job! Love the tentacles and the whole concept! Imagine stumbling on this archeological find!

Hello Marcel
I object to you wasting your talent on such rubbish imagery.
Women with big tits, orifices with phallus coming out of them or is it shit?
Your technique and ability are second to none on this forum, but you are wasting it on nonsense like this.
Take a look around you, i'd like to see you put your craft to showing some real life!

Oh yeah

(squints at the imagery a little longer, then grabs a drink and a towel)

I like the dirt piles along the bottom of the walls. Good detail. What if the tentacles had a bump pattern that was more orderly. Can't find the right word. More of a designed pattern and less random skin bumps. That way the viewer would wonder if the tentacles were carved or organic.

You are an artist using your imagination, creativity, and intelligence as an artist not a craftsman who is just a human camera producing realistic images of real life.

Everyone interprets what his mind tells him to see. You see phallus and shit, it is not my problem.

I use realistic images of real life for my work as a designer (not here) and create illustrations just for the fun (here).
Good point for the tentacles but I wanted to do something a bit unreal to contrast with the wall more realistic. I would see this detail later, and the upper part of the wall does not suit me completely.

' create illustrations just for the fun'
Your illustrations just for fun would have a lot more power if they were more real, for instance
What kind of monster would just stick its arms out through stone? holes like that, any self respecting hero would just chop 'em off! Are those holes made of stone? 'cos you cant make stone do that.
when i talk about real life i mean things should make sense. your 'fun' is fine but it would be even better if it had some 'reality' to it!

@Saul,

Please stop trolling. It's a very high quality image with a very surreal message, and Marcel has contributed many a beautiful surreal piece of art here. Go to CGhub.com and realize that most art online is about beautiful women, tits, monsters and tentacles, tall spires of rock and spaceships and unrealistic monsters and worlds.
Art are dreams made reality; not dreams made to fit reality.

It would be good to see your work and see what you do, and we will either praise or constructively critique your work.

and that is what will keep 'art online' as a niche for underachieving male adolescents who cant get a girlfriend, 'cos if they could they would see that bosoms do not work like they are shown in Marcels 'illustration'.

Sorry but I do not have time to answer these bullshit preachers. Especially when it become anything.
I did not used to be rude but you're boring. this is a reality.
I know the kind of person who always want to have the last word. I did not answer because I'm not a psychiatrist.

End of the topic for me.

exactly.

We could use the WWII phrase to good effect here.

"Keep calm and carry on"

That's what I do.
