I love what you did here. The colors are amazing. It looks mysterious and a little creepy. The black on the left side really makes the face of the scull stand out. I like the red colors in the back, the chrome look on the scull and swirls of colors on the side of the scull.very nice!

Gruesome this is and very well done. It is quite scary. The flow of lines is very pleasing despite a certain horror one feels. The red in background was a goood idea, too. Nice work.

I love the creativity in this piece. The contrast of dark, light and bright colors is great, it has an almost ominous feeling, Great work

Comment from Lorenz


Boy, this digital painting certainly holds my attention. All the darker colors around the skull bring out the metallic quality wonderfully well. Also, the touch of green added to the melting technique of the head is terrific. Good luck in the contest!

oh poor Yorik he is much maligned ! I like the dreamy melting swirls you have put into this --could be real---could be a nightmare--how will we know the difference? Good storytelling. Great use of light and dark.

Comment from julika


Excellent rendition of that famous skull. Love the bold strokes . His open jaw is interesting - he seems to shout the message of how fleeting is our time and no matter how great we are in this life- everyone eventually ends up like Yorick. The colours make for drama- not only in the sense of the play alluded to..but also in its colours and overall rendition - this is dramatic all on its own. Love the little plant sprouting from the skull...as in the term " pushing up daisies ". The swirls of dark brown-rust colour add much to the eerie feeling. Best of luck in this contest !!

    Thank you! I appreciate your thorough and thoughtful review and your wishes very much. I was curious if somebody would get the hinds of the open jaw and the plant. You made my day!

hauntingly beautiful raw and expressive love the opposing colors welded together and the stark white contrast of the remains it does bring forth the memories of olde in a most dramatic fashion,good luck in the contest and thanks for sharing.

    Thank you kindly for your review. The red heat is a jesters cap. It appears again more recognizable on the left of the plant.
