MISTER-HUNTER-MAN

Your work is breath-taking. It all looks as though you've taken days or weeks to paint this masterpiece on some wooden or oil canvas, and it amazes me that it is done digitally AND in a fairly short amount of time, all things considered.

Kraven is, by far, one of my favorite bad guys from the Marvel Universe, and in my opinion, you've got him down perfectly. He looks ready to take on Spider Man with a sinister grin, and you can almost see the pure evil and manic thoughts he has through his eyes. The crow lines and wrinkles are also a beautiful touch, because not everyone can be perfect and this is a beautiful example of that. He still looks wonderful, and would probably look worse if he didn't have the look of someone fairly older in comparison to his opponent.

The technique you used is amazing. It looks so finely detailed that it could probably be compared to a photograph. The glint on the knife, the separate strands of hair that make up his beard. They're all wonderful touches to bring this picture to life. The fact that there isn't much going on in the background also help to make you focus on the finer details. And who can forget spiderman in the reflection of the knife? The way his face is slightly warped because of the metal is a beautiful touch that most people tend to forget.

All in all, this has to be one of my favorite pictures from you. It's so simple, yet elegant and wonderful and perfect. It shows what someone can do with some time, patience, and skill on the computer.

PS. For some odd reason, his grin reminds me of Captain Hook from Peter Pan. Just another reason to love the picture.
