Description
DeathPassing
Quietus
so silently came
and wept not when I wept,
tears falling on the cold earth.
"Where once was light, now darkness falls."

Done in Photoshop with Bamboo tablet. Original size: 4500 x 3000 pixels.
This was one of the first pieces of digital art I did. The first version was pretty cool, but the updated version is just so much more creative. The concept is a group of demonic creatures formed from shadows, and inspired by different animals and things. The first version only had six shadow creatures, but I came up with a seventh (the floating one on the right) that I really liked. I made most of them darker overall to fit with the shadow theme more, and increased the wickedness of their features.

This is awesome! Not usually a fan of monochrome, but fits really well here.

I hope this isn't too old for me to give a critique for (2009?). Anyway, I love the designs. Especially the ones on the right, they're my favs. But the expressions of the monsters are overall neutral, not terribly menacing. It's mainly to do with the slack mouth shape. But it all depends on the setting and just how much scariness you wanted to accomplish.

Never too old to critique my stuff
I'm glad you liked them, and noticed their generally overall neutral appearance. Wanted more the thought of shadows being animated and forming into these monsters to be the scary part, not so much just their looks. I hope you check out more of my stuff

Don't worry, not all of them can fit under your bed. But you may want to check your closet...

Thank you. I definitely wanted the specter to stand out a bit from the others, kind of like a boss. I'm glad it came out that way!

Nice work! The reaper one is my favourate, the ribcage works very nicely among all the dark shapes.
