This reminds me of the Enslaver plague from the backstory of the Old ones in Warhammer 40k. Awesome pic.

On one hand, goddamn this is cool.  Translucent tissue and veins and all of that portion of it looks fucking amazing.  I enjoy everything about that.  On the other hand though - a lot of things in this looks really disconnected.  Like the focus is on wrong areas - the kid looks disconnected from the background, has sort of an awkward blurry quality to the edges - most noticeable around the front of his hair and ear, and on the sleeve on that same side - like it's from a separate image and transplanted into this one with a bit of smudging around the edges to make it fit better.  And on the opposite side of the spectrum, the sand is almost distractingly detailed, that gritty looking patch in the center.  That's really my only complaint, if the kid looked like he fit into the background and if the detail were better placed in areas that are intended to be in focus (cause I'm guessing that one patch of sand is not intended to draw the eye more than the fucking badass monster hah.)

You might wanna fix the light-sources on this.  The kids' left arm has light on the left side but the beaches' light is coming from the right...you can tell from the shadow.

When you photo-manipulate you need to watch out for that stuff.

There's an issue with the depth,  the boy is in a plane that should be in focus, unless you make the sand below him blurred. 

Your work has become way more imaginative since you left the crutch.  I'm proud of you :')

Great work, but for some reason the Necromorph really looks embarrassed to me :p

... Gotta be honest, I thought this was an actual photo from the thumbnail. Then I saw the thing in the background and the username and realized it was just you using your amazing art skills to draw creepy shit again(Not that I'm complaining). XD

Its matte painting and phorobashing of sorts for the background. Hand drawn predominantly is just the creature.
