Butcher Concept Bust

Semi-final concept bust of the butcher

Gave it a jaundice kinda look,

not quite sure what to do with the eyes.
Beady eyes= souless
Human eyes = problem with pupil size/eye color
Does it look like Jabba? I really dont see the resemblance :P
If u ask me I would likened the butcher to a demon possessed

Color Study of "the Meal"

Too bright; like poison arrow frogs of the Amazon screams Danger

Safer colors..muted, more innocent, not too loud.
