With regard to the art itself I think you did very well. The fireside atmosphere and cave background feel very much in the spirit of the contest, and the Predator's triumphant expression and pose do an excellent job of conveying a stone-age savagery.
Your skill is apparent, and the lighting and textures almost compelled me to give you a perfect score on the "technique" section.
However, for me the piece's impact is lessened because the predator is already has a very primal hunter feel to it (using spears, wearing skins, etc.). So this redesign is very similar to the original, and aside from the cave drawings in the back this could be a conceptual pic from any of the movies.
I would have liked to see a more radical reinterpretation of the character, or barring that, to see the Predator doing something particularly savage or prehistoric. However these are minor criticisms, and despite them I can't help but love the piece!
Keep up the good work.
Faved.
