WHY won't anyone reply!!!

As in my other reply, it's well executed, a nice idea. MAke the cracks a little more obvious. Some more contrast/color could make it better. Well done :D

You're new right?
It's a very, very good start, the thinking behind your images seems to be fine, just work on the techniques you use to make them.

new to what devlkore?>????

It sure freaked me out

You said with your last pic that it was your first photo manipulation, I'm sure you did.

::sigh:: I'm sorry, Ruud. If you're sure you want feedback.

I find it disturbing. I find almost no artistic value to it. It seems to be an attempt at "shock", and while I'm not against shocking an audience to make an expression or convey some artistic feeling, I find no such redeeming qualities here.

Not up to the caliber of some of your other work.

Or maybe I'm just in a bad mood.

something just doesn't seem to convince my eye. I'm thinking it's because of the skin looking like stone and there being such bright crimson blood. The protrusion in her neck doesn't seem to go well either. If you had a pipe sticking into your neck, would it be floating there in the middle of the gash? Everything else is rather pasty or something. but better than anything i could do

also the face looks a bit odd...

I can understand if you don't like it, but to be honest i am already pretty happy, since (if you know him) the monkey of love liked it
