The Golden Idol said:Looks good, but... a bit too CGI-ish, I think. Good work, but maybe something could be done for the CG to not look so clean?
You are right. It's difficult. I made a version with a shaky camera movement, I think it looks better. I also added an orange tint to the smoke bursting from the eye.

Still CGI-ish. But I think that's all I can do on this shot for now.
