Oh god this is really yucky >.<
Looks like a cannibal corpse cover. Great pixeling tough.

Jad - I agree about the right arm. It may be the way the muscles are drawn.

Other than that, I like the colors and the overall piece is every cool and disgusting in a good way. :-)

I think it looks really great. If you've played chaos engine up to the third world, there are these Spider nests that kind of grow bigger and
smaller type thing. Anyway, it would be great if this piece could be animated in a similar way, with the whole egg sack pulsating and the
skin closing over some of the eggs (and opening again). The pose maybe could be better but i wouldn't know how to improve. Maybe if his left arm was
hanging loose (and not touching ground) and his right arm was leaning against a door frame or something. It would be a very scary creature to come into your house!
Modern artists are told that they must create something totally original-or risk being called "derivative".They've been indoctrinated with the concept that bad=good.The effect is always the same: Meaningless primitivism

Haven't addressed any critisisms since my last post yet, but here's what I got so far.

Rerg1: I've been screwing with my monitor settings a bit lately so it may well be too dark for a more standard setting, I'll look into it.
No idea how the face can need to be both more and less detailed though.

Jad: I might curl some of the fingers more, lost most of that when I redrew the hand.

khorin: I thought Jad meant the left arm? I have reworked the lighting on the right arm some, which hopefully remedies this to some degree.

sharprm: What egg sack? Its a watcher damnit! Those are corporeal-ethereal interfaces extruded from the watcher's ethereal core to anchor it to its host, and hence into corporeality.  ;)
The pose is still rather awkward looking I'll try to come up with something.

Well the face is detailed but I think you should strech your colours more.

Upped brightness some.
Added knuckle highlights (so now the near hand actually looks somewhat like one).
Shortened torso a few pixels.
Tweak fingers of far hand.
