This is an excellent picture! I could go on and on about the good stuff - the staggering detail and depth of the predator's mouth, the brilliantly pulled off perspective, the subtle blue tones in the lips, the movement of the waves against the face. Full points for impact. We can almost taste the salt and feel the sea air - and feel the man's terror. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="(Lick)"/>I've also given you full points for originality, because whilst vore is obviously not a new thing, I've never seen this particular idea before, and especially not done to this artistic level.The only problem with pushing your skill up so many notches is that the negatives become more obvious by comparison. In this particular picture, your technique overall is well above average, in every area except the skin. In fact, even there the techniqueisn't wrong as such - the lighting and shading is good.However, the form doesn't seem to make sense. I'm not sure we should be able to see that much skin on either side of the mouth - when wide open, it should take up really a lot of the face, especially when seen from this angle. Here, all that skin seems to be more... well, just a vast expanse of, rather than aNeither the nose nor the rest of it is anywhere near as detailed as the mouth. It appears less thought-about, and this causes a bit of a clash.There are two options in this kind of scenario: One would be to make the mouthdetailed, and therefore merge better with the rest of the face, or to spend more time and energy on bringing the form and detail of the face up to the same technical level as the mouth.An important thing to do would be to pay attention to exactly where the throat is, where the chin is - effectively, consider how the whole face would look from that angle,cut it down to just the relevant part. As it looks just now more as if you painted an amazing mouth, then just splatched the rest of it in around it in the hope that we'd all be too busy admiring the mouth to notice. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/let… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title="(Lick)"/>Of course, in anime you don't have to worry about this kind of thing, but this isn't anime, this is going for something like full-on realism, and on that note I'll second Black Boo and say that the "manga spots," look out of place. I think if you're going for realism, make it realism, and resist that temptation to stick in anime details. The frightening, weird, and darkly comical feel that comes across in this image is inevitablyto Crisis going "nom!" with her big adorable eyes.
