It's missing something. It needs an edge. Like the Metallica skull, it has energy.

But good nonetheless.

Brown on brown, the skull is getting lost in the background

It's pretty good. It looks like a metal band cover for an album.
What'd you make it on? Photoshop?

Yea, I know there's missing something too, I don't know what either. I drew it on paper and colored it in photoshop.

Updated, btw

I jest, but I do know what you mean. It's good, but it does lack some mysterious quality...

Very impressive, especially considering how different you made it from the Metallica skull. I await the discovery of the 'missing' and the associated update I assume will follow!

Looks a lot better on the lighter background though.

That looks awesome but I think the teeth should be closer to the colour of the skull. Considering how old and aged it is, the skull looks like it's dirty but the teeth look like they're from a tyranosaurus rex with a brilliant dentist.

Wow that looks really nice. But like intransit said you should color the teeth a darker shade like the color of rotten teeth. And maybe what its missing is a lower jaw?

I really like the eyesocket, but you went a little all out on the cracks, non? I dunno, they look a little jagged to me.
Make an entire profile fossilized skeleton. That would look cool.

I added another version with a little change above the eye socket, less cracks and a better color.

Thanks for the comments so far!

I love how the nose looks broken and i deffinately prefer the last update with the fewer cracks. But I feel its a little too busy on the top part of the jaw compared to the rest of it.
And I also dislike the teeth, they look too rushed compared to the rest.

Yeah, I agree. A blood tear would look shit on this. Keep it as a skull, none of this supernatural bollocks like flame eyes.

The blue one is bitchin'. Ignore Scoped, the detail on the face is the greatest. I did like the eyesocket better when it was a bit darker though.
