Description Final illustration for my exam at the end of my second year at the Animation Workshop. You can see the character designs I made here: manweri.deviantart.com/art/The…
And if you want to see a slightly animated version, you can find it on my Facebook artpage: www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=7…

The story is about an isolated town that is being haunted by the ghost of a legendary hunter who died 200 years earlier. He hunts down the other hunters from the town in the surrounding woods, in an attempt to punish the people who wrongly accused his loved one for being a witch 200 years earlier, and killed her. Her soul was trapped, and he will not rest in peace as long as she can’t go with him.

An ambitious girl, Amy, sets out to hunt down the ghost herself, after he killed her father. In her attempt, she struggles to remain the hunter rather than the prey, and this illustration shows a moment from the hunt between the two characters.

Gotta say I loved working on this exam

Photoshop CS5, June 2014.

EDIT: Fixed some things in the painting, January 2015. It should look better now

Thank you very much! I have learnt to see how valuable storytelling is in artwork, so I do my best to use it for all it's worth

This is random, but I like the detail on her socks. That was what immediately stood out to me for some reason.

Nice art, btw.

What can I say? When someone makes a story with a single piece of art, they grab my interest. I could tell from the art piece that either one of them could win this at the drop of a hat. Will you make more?

I may take this story further, but I'll have to wait and see what I decide to do for my portfolio
