If this painting was a comic strip, how would it play out in four to five panels?

I think it looks a bit flat, but I'm just nitpicking right now
Otherwise it's cool

Must be a lot of pain, for the crab and for the artist.

Thanks for the comments so far. I'm done with it (pretty much) but yes still love the crit.

I was thinking of his crab paintings and got the idea he wanted the viewer to imagine opening that " flap" underneath it and getting a bit uncomfortable.

Postcard artists can say it with such simplicitas...

>>3097923
It's probably dead.

>>3097903
thats why I need you guys. I wasnt happywith it and called it finished. Got back to it with more life just to see if that could fix it. will update tomorrow

>>3097446
Honestly, one of the better submissions I've seen here in a while. Great color, great technique, good composition. I've seen art for sale that isn't as good.

>killing crab bros for reference

>>3097907

Now I've signed it as well. I might touch up on it might not for now I'm happy with it again.
Would even reconsider how painful it would be do do five as a comic strip.
Thanks for all the help and nice comments.

eyes remind me of those sad cat edits
but it's kind of hard to depict emotion in an animal whose static emotes are pretty much just how close to its body it's holding its extremities

>>3098415
Thanks man! I was pretty much taught by /ic/ lots of absences but I dont have anywhere else to get real crit.

It looks more like he just watched his wife and children get put into the pot

sad crab

that said, agree on the comp and colors
I think you could dabble some more highlight on the crab

Not dead nooboes.
Look at the struggling feet (while up side down).
It's retarded for an artist to kill and paint.

>>3097446
Dead or sad crab? Add energy and gesture since there's no visible muscle.

Paint from life not from dead.
Remember it well.
