Good concept! I'd expect the blood to be a little darker though.

Good luck

LOL...the blood is blood red...what else do you think it should be? Do you not get the irony that realistic looking blood could come from stone?

Is there pure Black ? I am asking this question all the entire entries. Please tell me if there is pure black & tones of red not black.

nice one...gl

Super realistic! Well done.. a flawless result

The face expression is just cute :]

Great build and super idea

wow glad to see u after a long time

Absolutely stunning piece of work

Looks so real!! wonderful!!!

nice work but the cartoonish eyes are off putting and not as well blended as the rest IMO.

I think there's nothing wrong with the eyes; a snail has a pair of eyes with a black dot on them...
Very well done, author. GL!

this is very good

Very impressive and I love the eyes; give a whole personality that is perfect. I love the way you created a whole mood and story from just the source! Super!

Love the two little eyes with a very scarry expression...

Nice perspective...GL

Good idea.... all the best

I give you a couple points extra for thinking outside the box, but the execution on this need a bit of work.

As chalty said, great thinking.. which I admire. However you need to use the source image more, play with source highlights and reverse them to give view of the moldings of the mask from inside.....I think that would be more acceptable

hehehehe,......very deep thinking.........so deep.......that I cant follow.....

Apart from what's said above, with such bright lights I'd expect to see a bit of the thickness from the mask (bit of lightning on the side of the hole). Good luck!

It's a different approach.

Idea is perfect...
