A wizard is summoning some creature from another dimension. I'm not quite satisfied with the tentacles, but then again it probably doesn't matter if a trans-dimensional being looks a bit 'off'. ;) Done for 'Ulkomaisia Fantasiakirjailijoita'.

Perhaps the tentacles would benefit simply by adding clearer definition?

Why not satisfied? It looks wonderful..the shading is just enough to perfect this picture.

Cool portal in the background. Interesting that the tentacles have decided to come out of the stone-work around it. Show-off monster...

A tiny critic... the creature and the portal have too many round shapes. I think it'd be more appropriate if there were more sharp lines. To be a little more scary, that's what monsters do, right? 2
