So I'm hosting a small event for GATA, we make textures inspired by one song and one song alone.
This was the first challenge, a song by Jon Hopkins, called Open Eye Signal.
You can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va4OyeQHbr8

Here's what I came up with, would like to know what you think of it.
And if it matches the song, of course.



This is my first completely hand-drawn texture in a while but I can surely say I've enjoyed doing this.
I started with the teeth, then the cloth and the galaxy.
After that I did some colour-corrections.

I've used my Bamboo tablet and Photoshop CS6.

Damn, that looks wild.

Listening to the song right now and it definitely gives off the vibe you were going for in this, top notch man. :]

absolutely amazing really
the fact that it's all hand drawn is even wilder
but what i don't like is that the eye seems like it's just part of the galaxy area
the mouth is really well done and is probably my favorite part
great job and i'm sure it'll pass
don't talk to me or my dudes ever again
It looks like a Killer Penguin To be honest but it looks cool!! Its just funny how the mouth looks, really sharp and then you see the penguin looking face.
I'm trying so hard but I cannot see a penguin, haha.
Thanks for the comments, guys!

@hobo:
I spent the most time doing the teeth, yeah.
And now that you mention it, maybe an eye wouldn't have been out of place.
It has teeth, after all..

Just thought a hole in the cloth was a nice way to simulate an eye.
Would've probably looked better with an actual eye.
Might change it up once I have time!

Except for the shading of the teeth and the depth of the area inside the mouth - I'd say this has great potential!

I just realized how dominating our avatars are. Your avatar ruling over man kind with heroism and bravery. And me being a good ol' ducktator.

Holy shit yes. This is one of the best artworks I have ever seen. I think of you make the mouth ball a bit what fish said and more colorful, but keep the hue matching. :O I would donut money some time so you post more things. Seriously, this blew my mind into action.

Uhh who dafaq are you freelancer? What did you do with your twin?
