I started this shoot with the idea of only the Faerys and angels, but somehow Beany dude jumped in. I'm not sure if he helps the image but his creepy factor is there.

I understand the idea but the result is weak...........It's unbalanced and the lighting is poor. Whatever your using for the background needs to be changed as it almost matches the angels wings.

I think it's good to experiment, so don't stop. In doing shots like these lighting is critical.

Do you have a light source?

It is an interesting idea which on this occasion didn't work, partly because there is such a large expanse of nondescript cloth. But there is no doubt that you have touched on the creepy thing quite successfully and I think it is worth pursuing. Firstly i would get rid of the angel and just concentrate on the fairy. Maybe another object as well but close to the the fairy and connected to the fairy rather than at a distance, dragging our eye away. I like the way the creep looks in, you don't need too much more of him to be seen or you would lose the creepy element, its creepy because he is mostly hidden. But the main thing to play with is the light. You need some intensity and drama to bring the whole thing to life. Otherwise its a couple of plastic models and a piece of cloth. But keep on experimenting.

I can add nothing to what has already been said other than I will wait to see the results.
