| 3 Jan 2000 |  Jennifer | I like the atmosphere of this picture. A nice job on the shading as well. Also the horns and how you can't see his eyes or anything, just gives you a sense of dread. | |
| 3 Jan 2000 | Mike Roche | Great job on the shadowing! I like how he is hunched over on that stone. Wish you would do more in color though... Oh, well. I like the Gothic settings more as well. Keep up the good work! | |
| 22 May 2000 | Sophie | What I like is that you still get a sense of the creatures presense, what it is, what it looks like,without the picture being really detailes. It also makes it more mysterious and frightening.Joel: Two for frightening, that is good. Fear is a healthy feeling to impart, and to do it successfully is very rewarding. Thank you ladies! | |
| 6 Dec 2000 | Greg Lowery | This is a great picture, nice use of value, but the body needs a little more detail... | |
| 31 Dec 2000 | Elizabeth | The guardian is so ominus...i really like him. The shadowing and the lack of indepth detail to the actual "critter" make him seem all the more frightening and fantastical. I really like his stance on the rock too...another good job!

| 26 May 2001 | SylverMidnyght <SylverMidny | i like the dusky, pre-dawn (post-sunset?) appearance of the shading and the lack of bg...these adds to the ominous nature of the piece...the gargoyle (latin for "gurgle!" useless fact # 566 for the day!), seems to be either arising for the night, or settling to sleep in the morning...what is it about nocturnal creatures that so fascinates us mortals?

| 27 Oct 2001 | Keetsie Joy | Great job on the pose, like he's peering over the edge of a big tower or cliff. Shading is excellent, I love how you used it to define his muscles. The face is the best thing about this pic, it's creepy with the skull-like features. | |
| 28 Jun 2002 |  Robert J. Mackellar | with the fuzzy detail it makes it look like it`s twilight, which helps him be that little more dread inspiring. Soon as those last few rays of daylight are gone he could awaken once more... | |
