Hey all, I want to make this image of a crazed religious mob very unsettling/creepy but I think I'm missing the mark by a mile. It hasn't been inked and colored yet but I feel like I understand what's creepy but I'm having a hard time translating that to the page. Any tips? Does it look stupid? Should I scrap it and start with something else?

are those midgets? they look like midgets.
those postures are weak man, that guy with the hood looks stiff as fuck.
Work on you composition, do thumbnails before actually trying to come up with a piece.

So maybe zoom out a little and show more of the crowd? Resize the chained up prisoners? Does the canted angle work or should I go with a level shot?

A lot of what defines "unsettling" is your choice of color, and especially, the atmosphere. Having that in line-art is difficult to show.

In many cases, less is more.

This is particularly good. >>2677141 & >>2677148 have an outstanding lack of imagination. Do you really need to have everything spelled out for you?

i like where its headed op
but yea like others have said its color and atmosphere that make it unsettling.
throw in some torches and dark scenery possibly some dark reddish colors . make the mob look scary and such .

I understand the implied effect, it just doesn't affect me. I could go in depth as to why it doesn't but that would be a bit much.
