Can't wait to read how you got this validated!

I personally don't care for the grain and especially how it makes you blend into it.

Interesting concept. I can see alot of work went into this. Not really sure if I like the grain or the high orange saturation.

Mural like composition and superb body position with that sees all spooky quality. Very good work. Bump.

Would be nice art but the bridge and the square thing in the middle make you seem incidental in the image

This one is a bit grainy, but very interesting. I'm wondering how you did it.

this seems to be so important but it's not the type of image i am good at making up my own stories about so it will have to suffice to mean whatever you meant or didn't mean it to mean to yourself and other people
