Description
It's a long time since I did anything gothic\vampirish so I feel this is well overdue!Everything painted although I used a texture for the pattern on the bodice.
This took about 30 hours over two weeks but I'm rather pleased how it turned out!

Fantastic work, Derek!
Are you using this as an interface or in print? Just curious because of the category
It's really great...your digital painting skills just keep improving!!

Thanks! Haha, I only put it in that category as I've seen others use it and it's sort of an under used category especially compared to Painting and Airbrushing! I was to be honest a bit disappointed with my last three even though I'd put a lot of work into them, I'm much happier with this one though so hopefully it starts a trend lol!

You should join
Also, did you know that ImagineFX is on dA now??
And I just ran across a really interesting blog entry about artists and learning curves here: [link] I'm spamming you with information!

Haha, I joined #PaintingDigital a few weeks ago but they rejected all my submissions! I may have one more go and submit this one tomorrow and it it gets rejected I'll give up on them!
No, I didn't know ImagineFX was here, by far the best magazine and the only one I have a sub with at the moment!
I'll take a look at the blog!
Totally spammed out!!!

great stuff man the only thing that really jumps out at me that may need some work are her hands, particularily the right one (above the gravestone) it seems a bit to large for her arm, but other than that i really like how it all came out

Thanks, the size was supposed to be due to the perspective. Anyway, maybe I'll shrink it down a bit now!

seanpt In reply to Pygar [2010-02-26 18:04:04 +0000 UTC]
oh, maybe i'm mis-seeing the perspective
is the arm supposed to be situated forwards a bit?

Even though I sort of have an excuse for how things were I've now shrank down the hand as I do think first impressions are important and I value your opinion!

Thanks for the comment, the thickness of the wrist was due the the angle but since you think it looks wrong I may shrink it down a bit!

Hi dear!
Is there a contest going on?
I saw Elena's and while not the same - the concept is similar and the category hers was in was initially "Designs and Interfaces".
Just curious if it's for a contest.
Lovely work!
Claudia

There's no contest I'm aware of! I saw Elena's yesterday with some similarities but purely a coincidence!
Thanks for the fav Claudia!

It's truly a thrilling and enchanting piece of art. I'd say my favorite part is the background; the shading compliments the chilly feeling it recalls. I'm totally into the bigger tree and the mist thing.
As for critique, I'd say the moonlight seems a little unnaturally light, and thus the light doesn't seem to truly accomplish the spooky effect you were undoubtely wanting to obtain. Furthermore, the front leg and arms appear quite odd, and I'd work on the skull anatomy.
The overall picture pleases me though - keep up the good work.
