The Elm Street Slasher by genocyber

exllcent work on Freddy here

wooow. the boiler room is totally cool.

Nice Job Of Capturing Freddy Krueger's Pure Evilness.Good Job Of Depicting His Boiler Room Also.

I like the style. Almost comic book-like.

I see you're trying more textures and shading. Keep it up. It looks great. You can add even more to the whole thing.

Greetings, Genocyber.

I see you have been hard at work on more of your favorite material, yes?

My immediate impression is that the work seems to lack a diversity of highlight. It seems flat, overall. The flames in the furnace do not appear to embody a great enough sense of light... A hellish glow would best suit the iconic furnace chamber, but your manner of colorizing the image makes large use of flat swatches. Your choice of overall lighting is also rather offset by the presence of the flames in the background.

What strikes me second in the image is that the composition of lines in the pose of Freddy is quite enjoyable. The flow of lines across his claws and throughout the curve of his arms is balanced by the rounded shape of his hat. The rest of his figure and his expression give him a rather mischevious, torturous appearence, as if he were weighing the decision of what to inflict on some soon-damned soul. The grunge and texture across the hand of the claws is also a nicely detailed area of the image. There are disadvantages to the compostion however: the stark white in his eyes makes for a powerful stare, but it is somewhat offsetting. The lack of lighting along the prominent features of his face, such as that of his nose and the curve of his grin/sneer, cause his face and figure to lose their sense of dimension. The flame in the background seems to call for some gradient of light, or some form of backlighting. A flicker of light on his claws, and partial reflections on his face would easily amend that.

The surroundings are not so bad, and you've certainly captured the sense of rusty, aged grit along the furnace, and with the amusing shovel and coal near the base. The chains in the background do not differ, though, not in their texutre, lighting, nor spin/angle, though the one does have signs of wear.

The flat shadows of the dark absolute background are also fine in tandem with the colorization style, it doesn't seem to add to the dimension of the image.

In short, your overall composition is very good, but your execution as to the lighting and texturing appears to be your main flaw in the work. With a few inclusions of some choice details and areas of lighting and color, you could easily apply the same techniques and amendments to your next sets of work.

Thanks again, Geno. Good luck.

Awsome work here
