Do you think this would have been improved with tighter rendering?

I like when the drawing is really loose and not that rendered. I want that rough feel to be the base for my style.

I like it too. It's stroke economy, but not in a overachieving Sargent way, more like an effortless Sorolla

Put hints of a giant sea creature in there and you can get something super spooky

and generic, shitty and unoriginal

Post your spooky sea monsters.

needs to be a near-future scifi soldier with a hair dryer for a head looking at the monster

Nah. It says what it wants to say. Rendering further wouldn't make it better, but could make it worse.

In his first book there's actually a back story to that painting that says there was a rumour of some kind of creature swimming around down there. But regardless it's a good story telling device when you don't serve everything on a platter to the viewer. Just as in horror movies where supernatural forces are scarier when implied rather than shown. I also like pic related 'cause you have to imagine what has gone down around the corner
