idea is good but the drawn spiders and tree just don't do it for me ?
Gl with the contest !

Your Wikipedia link does not provide much insight into what the Cauldron-Born might look like, but it does reveal that you left out the hyphen. The graphic black-and-white-with-red-accents image is quite dramatic. The odd earing thing would be more compelling as blood oozing from his ear canal, however. And the cheek drip has an inexplicable aspect as well.

totally different and damn cool...great job author

"Blood" looks like plastic...

I honestly love this one. It has some "plastic-y" looking elements to it, however I kind of feel like that might have been the author's intention?

I do agree with Dan about having the blood at the ear coming out of the ear canal, but that's a personal preferance for me. Finally, I love how the eyes were done, they're really strange and it thoroughly creeps me out.

Good job, in my opinion. And good luck!

Wow he's got Pac Man's eyeballs

it is creepy. i like all of it but the eyeballs..
but you definitely put your own style into this contest.

source links don't work and again to much 3D in photoshop contest...but i love the final result

1- I've fixed the links
2- About the 3d part I know I've used lot of 3D but I'm trying to learn how to shade.
The first thing I've done was to shade using the 3d images as a reference but I didn't get the result I wanted so I used the 3d images.
3-Next time I will try to work without the use of the 3d images or I will use it only as a reference.
4-Finally, Thanks for loving the final result.

not bad

Congrats for 3rd

Congrats!

Congratulation on 3rd place and great work...keep going...

Congrats for your third place, Tnaggar!

This is definitely one of the creepiest entries I've seen. Can I ask if the butterflies have a specific meaning, I can't seem to decide if I think they add to or detract from the overall effect...

just a suggest, maybe you can fix skull at the baby's head...

:S fREAAAKYYYYYY!

Yup, this looks like a nightmare. I'm glad you added the butterflies, they make contrast with the gore and also might suggest the presence of hope. Butterflies come from maggots afterall.

greymval u understood me thanks.

Way too freaky and weird... so that means... I like it alot... awesome composition!
