Description

Yesterday I concluded my short series of hand pieces for the February Theme, but separately I wanted to include a couple of strange works from three years ago. They were created for black and white album covers and included text, but I decided here to make them images in their own right without the text and with subtle colouring. This is the first, hopefully the second will follow tomorrow. You can click here to view the original. Many thanks for taking a look and for your feedback :-)

Just saw the original version, and makes me mourn the lost of the 12x12 LP --- better to display artwork such as yours. Liked that version btw, but enjoy this one more.

Oh yeah! This is sooooo cool. I'm especially in love with that crater bit right above the eye.

Love that subtle colour it works better for me than the b&w, excellent image either way!

Excellent choice of the olive/green. It seems to de-humanize what is illustrated, leaving it cold and clinical.

very weird... it seems like a part of the hand is melting, slowly tearing away part of the skin. I would've added just a little more color to it ;)

I definitely prefer this version than the B&W one! I'm not sure if I like this or not though...I'm trying to figure out the "missing finger"...is it melting? I would put this one with ur other "mutations" work! For me, it's in the same vein...weird, fascinating and...repulsive! ;)

Very well done! Don't try to figure it out, Tibet. Surrealism isn't supposed to be realistic. IMHO, it's the expression of your subconcious, like a dream, and it's the feelings the image invokes in the viewer that's important. My own reaction is an attack of the willies. But it's mixed with admiration for the artistry. In other words, beautiful, but icky.

I like this version better than other one. I feel more a part of the art somehow...the b/w version makes me more detached I think. I like the concept and execution...but I get a little lost on the right side. Not sure why. Really cool image nonetheless. Perfect for album cover. Good job! :)

very well done as well. I am even tempted to prefer this one over the golden, very unlikely for my colour taste.. but here the effect is so spectacularly creepy that I am conquered :)

pretty cool shot & metamorphosis, i prefer the tone of this but the other worked well in filling the blank space... :]
