Ok this is quite a strange one. This creature is more of a cross between an ape and a boar than a boar and a man. Not sure where i got my inspiration for this image. I'm currently doing a picture that corresponds to this one which i started first and i thought 'i need a bad guy' so i made this but got carried away with it and ended up finishing it first. It took a long time to get the lighting right and i'm still not sure it is. If you can't quite tell whats happening his arm is behind his back; he is holding a knife and he is calling someone over to him iwth his finger  which i guess does make the image a lot darker knowing that or maybe its the not knowing. I wanted the setting to be a twisted and darker version of victorian London; Jack the Rpper came to mind while i was doing this piece. I worked with alot of textures to give it a dirty and gritty look. In fact the whole image is underneath a full paged texture.

This was all done in photoshop and apart from other little ventures i've had with photoshop i have never finished a fully photoshop imaged and i'm quite happy with the way it turned out. Let me know what you think.

Excellent. This is like something you would find in a nElder Scrolls game. Brilliantly done. I like how the shadow and the light sort of meld together a little.
