Description A sketch created mainly for the purpose of practicing lighting turned out to look quite ok, so I ended up finishing it. I had loads of fun painting this one and it went along rather smoothly, too

For those of you who read descriptions, here's a link to some screenshots I've taken during painting: [link]

Created fully in Photoshop with a little bit of Painter.

This is gorgeous but in a way that's a little.. eerie. It has a haunted feel to it.

Great, one of your most fantastic paintings.
Can you tell me how did you do those tribels one her shirt? did you just draw them in photoshop on her shirt, or that you did some process until you put it on her shirt?

Thank you very much and sorry for my poor english, Ido.

Never before have I seen such a disgusting display of art!!! "AHH!" Just kidding! It is fan-freaggin- tastic! You've got talent my dear! Anyone can see it! You should try go proffessional with your work. Like say for e.g film posters or advertisments. Big money there. Above all, well done! I am impressed. VERY impressed. *nods*

I really like this style ... there is something about it i don't like, but i can't put my finger on it. Amazing work though ... i would love to see more like this.

Wish i could say something helpful, but as usual my words fail me.
