Excellent work. Primal fear summed up in a painting.

One of my dogs ALWAYS does this. She’ll just stand in the hallway and growl into a room. Drives me insane.

I was searching through the EBM selection on Bandcamp last night and found an artist called Dog Mask. This looks sort of like a more detailed version of the album art for Liminality by Dog Mask, better yet there's even a dog in the picture here. Though I gotta' say this art looks gloomy, it's fantastic.

Impressive! Really evokes some primal fear in you.

I feel like even if there wasn't anything there, the scene would still spook me out.

I always wondered how my dogs would react to a threat to our home. About a year ago a guy tried entering my front door at 2am and my dogs went berserk.

We then bought a home camera system and learned that our dogs literally sit guard all night while we sleep.

Lol. What is good about that, aside from the warning, is that thieves hate dogs. They don't know if it's a biter or a barker. So they usually move on. I like having a dog and my cameras.

My current dog barks maybe once a month, but when he does - better come running because something is going down.

One of my friends has dogs, her boyfriend went to the bathroom and the rest of us went to hide to prank like we left the house because he was taking a long time. The dogs seemed to sense that we were hiding from him, postured defensively between him and us and even barked at him when he came out.

He's not even a stranger, they've been together almost a decade, one of the dogs prefers to cuddle with him instead of her, they just read those situational cues a little wrong. They would almost certainly attack a stranger if their owners were hiding and actually scared.

I know what’s in there and it’s especially terrifying because it’s actually real. A truly vile creature amongst vile creatures…

Was not disappointed when I zoomed in on the darkness! Great work!

Ok but how? When I scroll while clicking on this, I see the face, but zooming in, I only see the eyes.

This is outstanding and I am really impressed but I don't understand it :D

Inspiration lol. You absolutely just copied Bibins composition but changed the angle. Come on man. It's rendered well, though.

Honestly I disagree greatly. Being able to see the "threat" in pictures like this diminishes it immensely in my opinion. Pictures like this are more frightening when the mind is left to invent what's waiting in the dark. No dot eyes or spooky face matches the anxiety of the unknown.

Beautiful. That dog changes the whole mood of the painting.

Actually terrifying, it also reminds me of the I Am Legend movie with dark rooms building with the dog.

I'm not going to lie, the darkness of the pitch black draws me in. I'm absolutely terrified what's beyond that doorway and I know it's watching me and I just can't see it.

Funny little detail. Due to the way smartphone screens work (something about black color pixels refresh at different speed), when you zoom in and move the screen around, it looks like the eyes are blinking.

Love it, liked it a little more when I had my brightness down though, since the dog is clearly showing that there's something in the shadows. Don't think the face is necessary. Awesome work

Frickin captured the perfect moment. Am I right in asking if this is inspired by the horror 'Girl on the Third Floor'?
