Creativity: You had an interesting reinterpretation of the original work, but something of the original's theme is lost in translation. By removing the garish reds and browns, we lose something of the horror aspect of the original work. However, your redesign is an interesting fantastical interpretation.
Execution: This piece looks smoother than the original, and forgoes much of the ragged-edged bleeding paint style of the original. The result is more of an abstraction of a fairy tale, rather than a nightmare.
Context: In terms of the ending result, the impressions left by your piece and the original are wildly different. While both force the viewer to parse out the shapes with great effort, the reward in the original is disgust and discomfort, where in yours the result is whimsy.
Documentation: You offered a concise overview of all the relevant information.
Beautiful colors. An impressively detailed reproduction.
@dsaad completely agree with you on my execution with regards to the ragged-edge bleeding paint style. It is, at least in part, a result of my personal skill with the stylus / photoshop, especially when considered over the timing constraints of the assignment. I totally do not have enough experience to recreate that effect rn but hopefully as the class progresses / I practice, that will become less of a limitation and more of a stylistic choice because I agree it is a big limitation in how it reads relative to the original work. It did, I think, work decently (even if a bit incidentally) in tandem with the colors I chose to reproduce with.
