Your pixels are sooo smooth! Great rendering on the body

It kind of looks like he has a bucked tooth.

Looks scary though!

Yeah, I think it's even better now with defined light sources.

A most awesome update. The lighting on the back is waaay better, the scarf really helped too :/

Thanks for the comments, everyone!  I adjusted the lighting on the creature's back, slightly, and added a lateral line for internal navigation, as well as Gas13's scarf :)

The creature isn't actually underwater, but flying through the gases of it's home planet.  It trolls the skies for smaller creatures that feed on the falling ash and embers.  I do agree that the red was too saturated, though, so I've toned it down a little.

Nice remake of the original.=))
Red a little too saturated for underwater environment though. Great work otherwise.=)

That's just great. I don't have it saved but I had almost exact copy of the body being red (which is not surprise really), tiled and turned up in the end. But I found no way to work with it's head and gave up.

The way you kept details of the head is great. It repeats all the dots and still doesn't look weird or out of place. I think that's hard and actually more fair if to speak of a challenge.

As for suggestions I saw that purple thing as a scarf. I think it would suit well you creature.

i love this interpretation of the drawing!great job!

Wow, you really transformed that picture into something great, kudos. 

A great take on the drawing. The lighting on its back seems a bit even considering the light is coming from the two antennas that have a bit of space between them. Not a crit but since there's time and you're open to revising. I would consider making the lighting there more effective.
