    just below the wrist...

    Unfortunately, I don't speak the language you wrote in, so I don't know what you're saying about this piece, but I figured I'd put my opinion in anyhow...

    The least believable part of the photo is just below the wrist and where the skull meets the arm. It doesn't quite work there. Other wise, good job. I was scared. :-O

      Google Translate: Italian to English... "This digital artwork was created in 5 hours in two days. The hand is steady, property is destined to remain so for eternity, unable to move, see and touch anything. Dead Hand is the name that seemed more appropriate. For more information visit my blog."

    I agree with Shane...

    Just below the wrist looks too artificial and the scull seems out of place. Otherwise, a truly disturbing piece. Real talent.

    nice concept

    Posted on Nov 28, 2009 at 7:05 PM

    hi there, it's nice concept adns cary - but blending the hand a bit more with the environment might be able to improve the design

    have a look of this : http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Own-World/45096

    Fix the Wrist.

    Posted on Nov 28, 2009 at 9:15 PM

    So far everything looks good the only thing I would suggest fixing would be the wrist, it doesn't seam to blend very well and you can almost see through it.

    Good job.

    quality

    Posted on Nov 28, 2009 at 9:22 PM

    I think its either the color or the quality of the elements like the sky, birds, mountains. i think they would look a bit better with some more depth.

    but over all it looks pretty cool.

    Scared Design

    Posted on Nov 29, 2009 at 5:04 AM

    Pretty nice design but is very scary, you could bring them a more cheerful note.

    Unify the sense of lightsource and dimensionality

    Posted on Nov 29, 2009 at 11:18 PM

    I like the idea of a hand twisting forth from the roots, grasping for the sky. I recommend adding a sense of volume to both the hand by painting in shadow and highlights. Also, the sky and land each have about 50% of the picture. I recommend changing that. Try changing the land/sky ratio to 1/3, either in favor of sky or land. Right now, that particular symmetry is making the picture too static.

    Best of Luck!

    The hand

    Posted on Nov 30, 2009 at 8:25 AM

    The hand doesn't look quite right. Everything else is blended well but the hand looks very superimposed. Try to work on your blending a bit more.

    add a little bit more color

    Posted on Dec 01, 2009 at 9:16 PM

    This is a very compelling illustration. The subject matter brings you in right away. I like the detail in the hand and the skulls, and also the rocks. I think this is developed very well and an original concept. The only thing I might add is a little bit of blood perhaps.

    Lose the Skulls

    Posted on Dec 04, 2009 at 2:21 PM

    The birds are haunting, and the hand causes an impact. The skulls are not doing much, especially the second skull to the right. I would remove the skulls, and work on some other shrouded/skull head concept.
