That knife blade shines like a light in the darkness! First impression was it was the blade that was scaring away the beast, but upon looking closer... it doesn't seem like that beast is being scared away at all. :P Pretty atmospheric piece though, and interesting because you don't really know what's about to happen. The way the monster holds his arm makes it seem like he might just be defending himself, not about to devour the puny human after all. Is he... aware? It makes you think, this piece. Nice work!
