I really like this monochromatic painting, Thomas! The strong diagonal red element going from the upper left to the lower ight red energizes the piece while (it seems to me) causes the figure great pain. The sharpened edges of red where it meets the black areas all support this theme. But my favorite thing is the left/front part of his forehead. It seems as though it juts forward into the foreground, but because it isn't instantly recognizable as, say a nose, it adds mystery to the work as well. I'm not sure what is going on there, but I think it's an important element to this work where everything else is graphically spelled out. It provides a "resting place" for the eye. Nicely done!

Very nice!!

Nice composition, shapes, mood...only small crit would be to darken teeth a little to follow the light and follow form...nice job!

extremely original! 9

I agree with Kunkunlanak, very original indeed! +10

I think that too contrast and sharp

Really great. It seems like his forhead is a bit out of proportion, but I have never seen a picture of Clive Barker, so that may not be so important. This is great. The execution is really great!
