Ahh I see now. What DoctorStrongbad is saying is when you first look at the piece, it seems like the the victim is stabbing HIMSELF in the neck, which is slightly confusing. That's actually what I thought was going on too when I first looked.
After reading your reply to him and taking another, better look I can see that there is actually someone on top of him doing the stabbing, and there is a hand around his neck. I honestly don't know what I though it was before, but yea, basically you have to stop and look closer, and not just skim the drawing, or else it looks confusing.

My submission for the draw with jazza challenge COTMFEAR, where fear needs to be illustrated using only one signle hue. Enjoy!

Aaah, I see. It never occured to me that it is possible to view it that way. I guess the artist sees only his own intentions. Maybe i could have increased the contrast between the victims, and attackers clothes to avoid a misunderstanding. Thanks for the feedback!
Nice job. Im not sure if your trying to make something fearful or make your character fearful. Your character looks like he is supposed to be the bad guy with the weapon in his hand, yet he has a fearful look on his face. Kind of gives mixed signals.
keesk responds:
This is the view of a killer who looks at his victim while stabbing its throat. You see the fear of the dying victim. I don't think I understand your feedback?
