How does your art incorporate the theme?
The underworld is filled with these "hands" that drag you down until you give up and become one of them. Most do but a solider does not give up, he keeps looking forward!

Which of these best describes your art?

this looks amazing, great job on the composition! maybe more variety in the hands could help, and less details on them so they don't steal attention from the guy in the middle. I think the pillar he's standing on is perfect as is, it's got a lot of variety for the hands and it's the main focus so it benefits from the detail, but the rest of the piece being as detailed may be making it a bit noisy. though you'd have to test and see, maybe it's better this way xD

It was so hard finding a balance, especially since when I started this I wasn’t really happy with how the hands looked. I agree with you I’ll dabble and see what I can do to make the solider stand out more. Thank you for commenting and giving your feedback!!

At first glance I just saw generic overgrowth, and I love that you can see hands emerge as you examine this piece!! So creepy and vivid, I really like the feeling you were able to portray with this artwork!

Thank you so much! I will definitely be taking some inspiration from you in that regard in the future!!

I really like the depth of the whole piece, it feels like it goes on forever.

I wanted it to feel almost constraining, but also like there was no end!

the use of palette illuminating the soldier where everything else is grey is a really cool thematic tool!

Developer

so happy someone noticed! They actually use different palettes on purpose. Great eye!!

So good and the texturing i thought the hands logs ngl

Man, trying to make hands was ridiculous but I felt like I got the hang of it at the end, just don’t look too close :D
