Monstruo de los Ojos


This image is a recreation of a scene in the movie Pan's Labyrinth.

It's not supposed to be a 100% direct copy, but rather a slightly different take on it. I decided not to change the subject to look more monstrous so that I wouldn't cross that boundary.

I basically created a "feast" out of items I found around our rooms, and digitally edited the dish in the background. It's actually a pie tin sitting on a tupperware, but I tried to make it look more fancy like the one in the original image.

I felt that getting the eyes onto the hands was the most important part of this image, because that's what sets it apart from reality and is the biggest focus point of the monster. Overall, I was pretty pleased with how they turned out. I think I actually had a harder time getting the foreground to be blurred the right amount than I did working with the eyes, although the eyes did take much longer.

Even after finishing this image, I still feel like it's missing something. The only part I'm really satisfied with is the eyes on the hands.
