I just finished an Elak novel and was trying to picture the main character as he is described being reminiscent of a wolf. I have to say you've done a great job incorporating that into this picture.

I pictured him in my head being slightly more like Iggy Pop but you've come very close to what I had in mind.

I kind of expected this pick to look quite different, but this is was quite cool to. by the way, did you know that Elak is the swedish word for Mean?

I liked the use of shadows to express emotion. It reminded me of all those old black and white classics that we all love.



Great work.

It's true to it's vikingish style roots, just like barbarian art should be (rather than some pieces which end up nauseatingly macho).

the reds in the background really help set the mood in this one. My only one complaint is that it's a bit too dark in the piece to see the tentacle creature. Otherwise I say job well done

The terror that tentacle guy invokes is almost physical, as was said before it's the crashing colors and black space toward the top that make this piece awesome.
