the skin tone looks excellent,great job +7...
Could crop off a inch or two off the left side though,making the picture unbalanced.

hot..i have no crits

Reminds me of StarCraft for some reaso O_O
Awesome job none-the-less

very nice, exelent work!

Very good overall. The definition could be better between the head and the collar, it's a little confusing, hard to tell which is which. A little more shadow might help that.

I like it

Very good! Colors are great and the monster is...fabulous.

wow, great work! the backround is also just fine!
awesome

This is perhaps my favorite from you, really well done!

Another amazing job with the skin. Great char and painting!!

Very good pic! The face is amazing. However the outline on the arms are distracting since they don't follow the fold of the clothes. But that's nickpicking Solid work nonetheless, you really show well the different materials.

I really want to run my hand over those tentacular lips...The tops are smooth like marble and yet have a distinctly hydro-gleam to them that seems like it would just slither right our of my grasp, which makes me shiver even more at the idea of not being able to grasp them as they do...eat brain...
*bile*
Ehem.
I can only say that it is a very unique piece, as everyone says, but everyone is unique, ne?
I rather like the creature, it should be made to a game, or maybe a creature for the Starcraft...lol
-sweet dreams-

I like this monster! great blood splat, poor one

Reminds me of "The Guild" from Dune. Excellent details - nice drawing

you got the realistic textures of the octupus/squid-man! it reminds of a Final Fantasy Tactics monster.

mmmmmmmmmmm, blood, yum, you create the coolest pictures

Great character.

Imagine this - getting up in the middle of night , you click on the living room light to find an Illithid nestled in the corner , crouched down .... its' tentacles curl in slumber - appearing to be asleep .... its' glass eye rolls with a slight twitch . As you run back to the bedroom to find a golf club , baseball or anything to protect yourself , your mind races with fright - fumbling about in a feverish search . A dark shadow lunges from the doorway ...and this image is the end result ..... I think its' great !!

Nice to see D&D work here. =)

Squid face alien, hehe.

very well done. quite cthulu-ish.

I was thinking Cthulhu... nice skin detail and mood +6

Amazing technique. Good job with the colors, and the border makes a nice framing. Overall, excellent piece!

Excellent!!!

Wow, you did this with Photoshop???
Astonishing!
Very, very nice work.
