Finally got around to re-redoing this one. I am much happier with how this turned out than last time. What a difference a different tablet and software can make. Here are the original and the 1st digital attempt if you want to compare.

The Unmasking (digital color-gloves???) by dhbraley on DeviantArt

From the original post

"Anywho, everybody loves a good unmasking, whether it's a beautiful woman (or handsome man, if your a gal) behind the mask of hideousness, or beauty is the mask hiding the monster within; it could be the girl pulling the half mask of Lon Chaney in the old Phantom of the Opera or young Skywalker revealing that there was still a man in side the machine that was his father, Darth Vader.

In all those times, though, I have never seen a mask pulled away to reveal a Jack O'Lantern. The closest example would be, of course, The Headless Horseman....particularly the Disney cartoon. This is not to say it hasn't happened...I've just never seen it.

Now how do you suppose they got to this point?? How did these two people (well, one person and a "what the hell???") manage to put themselves in the position where the guy with thoughts of probably taking of more than a mask is about to get the suprise of his life, possibly for what little time remains of it?? Did this man's comapny wreck the pumpkin farm two which a vengfull spirit resided? Or is the woman truely a witch he offended? Or is she a witch who wishes to suprise a lover with a bit of illusion?? The possibilities are endless. What do you think is going on???"
