Somewhat sea oriented skull for some collegue of mine.

This is really awesome. The detail is fantastic and has so many weird moods compiled into one image with lots of stuff to keep my eyes busy. The monochrome style and cross-hatching shadows give it such a cool minimalist feel. Reminds me of when I lived in New Orleans.

Thanks for the nice comment!

Wow, I can't believe how detailed this is! I'm really surprised you didn't win some award for this. Then again, I don't know how that process even works. You deserve the high score. The skull itself is great, but then there are all these other things around it. I now realize those are supposed to be waves.

I'm not even quite sure how this symbolism works. For all I know, you made everything up here. Even if you didn't, you deserve tons of credit for it. These monsters are so detailed they look like buildings. They just seem to be part of the background. It's great to have depictions that fit so well.

Jakubias responds:

Thanks dude, glad to see someone still sees my stuff. It did get frontpaged back then and I was pretty hyped for that. Thanks!

Fantastic design and detail

~~REVIEW~~
and wow this was as awsome as they can get i suppose, so much "DETAIL" from the eyes to the horns and lots of fine detail here and there it all just really flowed as one but there are somany pieces, i even noticed that the horns were almost transformed into like moons, now with this one on the color seems if like a fresher color tone was used then in the other ones, but again and you will probably hear this alot from me but ad another bit of color to have more focus on it, but you are on the right track with the amount of detail and effort you put on, anyways verywell done here. So improvments would be to ad some color maybe some bright reds and or blues as explained for some focus since there is so much all around and such. anyways once again nice job.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Well again i suggested some color just a tad here and there.

~X~

Jakubias responds:

Roger that! Thanks for pulling the effort to actually write something with sense, I appreciate it!

Awesome detailing...

I like the old school feel with the newer school art...great blending.
SUPER sick details, and I agree with the Bosch reference.
Fantastic work.

Jakubias responds:

Well there might be slight similarities with positioning, when comparing Bosch and me, maybe. But thanks for great comment!
