The watermark is there not to prevent theft, but rather to market my name. Though, since this image has received a very mixed welcoming, that may actually have worked not in the way I would have liked it to. As you say, this tutorial was meant to be a challenge in how make use of simplicity to create something more intricate. I must agree that this Hydralisk is not as good as it can be, which is why I'm completely changing my plan and is going to do something far more advanced and hopefully drop dead-gorgeous - with a twist for the next article. Stay tuned before the end of the weekend, and thank you again for your constructive criticism. Thank you for your comment. The watermark is there not to prevent theft, but rather to market my name.

Anyways, I think it's ok since you kept it simple and used basic shapes, but, the hands look like they are... not bony enough, and the head looks like a bell. From this angle it barely implies that the object has a dept feel to it and makes it look like a pogo stick. Sorry for being so harsh, excuse me if I have offended your works in any way. Great job with the simplicity though, I understand that it is just made with basic shapes and *clap clap* to that, but it good use a little improvement.

Special or not, a signature costs nothing. If you have any suggestions for further tutorials that may be more advanced, I would greatly appreciate your feedback Whilst I respect your point of view, I’m proud enough of this piece to put my name on it.

Are you afraid someone might steal it or what? :) I mean it's ... REALLY nothing special. I don’t know why you added the watermark on something like this?

The image used is, as you say, really not the main point of the tutorial - it's meant to show how a potentially complex image can be easily crafted from very simple and symmetrical shapes, and then improved upon. Shorty, a new post will show how I have colorized this creature, making it into quite a little monster :) I’m glad to hear that you liked it.

And he obviously didn't understand that this is just a basic concept, like you say in the blog, you can do some further photoshop magic and make it perfect. Nice post Poly, I'm reinstalling illustrator right now to see if I can recreate this... it has been a while since i've used illustrator and my first time using CS4, so we'll see how it works.

Some level of detail was cut away in my attempt of making it tshirt-friendly, but as stated - not quite a Picasso. Regardless, thank you for your feedback, I do appreciate it There is room for improvement, I would agree.

It hardly looks like a hydralisk, you got a lot of the parts wrong, and... well, it doesn't seem very well drawn.
