silent, subtle, fragile

There's probably no connection but what came first to my mind was E.A. Poe's The Tell-Tale Heart.

I think the spirit shape with the heart is the actual man (?) who had the ghosties happen to him, stepped forward and left his spirit and heart behind.
His spirit has a hand on his shoulder asking him not to go, but he is all changed, and has forgotten his other life. so walks away.

Interesting idea, that could be the case. I thought of the ghost as a woman, but I guess her gender isn't very apparent.

Thank you. I tried a few ways to handle it, ended up with this. 
I'm always on the fence between realism and . . . impressionism, expressionism? Probably neither, whatever it is.

Love the glow effect! The man looks to be a vampire of sorts, but instead of him draining others, the spirit is draining him? The drainer has become the drainee...

Thanks, I wasn't sure if I wanted the rays of light or just a glow, I think the combo works.

I haven't used a stock brush for a long time, I created all my usual brushes. 
Sometimes I use a soft round, but even that is altered.

Feel free to ask me any questions but it's really just a matter of experimenting. 
I save all my brushes as layers on one psd file, 1"x1" (600ppi). That way I can mix and match. 

Sorry I forgot, what is your Halloween piece? Is it going to be digital?
