Description I decided to make this one after having a lot of fun making the hang in the eye of "Showing My Sadness." Hope you like.
70% smudging, 25% painting, 5% Photoshop adjustment layers. You can look up the literal meaning of the title yourself, it's just Latin.


Apparently there is something similar to this in the movie "Pan's Labyrinth." I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THE MOVIE yet. This has nothing to do with the movie.

Awesome! It is different enough from pans labrynth to not worry about it.

Ack!

Yikes. That's a little freaky, on first sight.

The warped shadows in the little nooks and crannies of the fingers are super-cool, though. Excellently done.

i just want you to know that this really creeps me out. and i have no idea what pan's labyrinth is. so i can't tell you it looks like something out of it, obviously. okay, but it's cool. just in a really creepy way. i like that it looks like an oil painting. and i think we all know that i think that's an amazing thing.

I love the strokes and colors and detail of the eye. The strokes give it a nice twisting distorting kind of movement.

The movie is insanely scary, especially the character similar to the one in your picture. Go see it! And I like this style you've made.

If you didn't find this scene intense I really hope you didn't pay for it.

I'm not that good at guessing secrets, but I understand that you don't want to hear about it. If you don't want more people thinking like me to mention it, don't leave it a secret.

Me neither, but it made me think of that since a review I read mentioned eyes on the hands.

I just looked it up on Google images and I saw the photos with the creature with his eyes on the palms of his hands. It makes me sad because I thought I was being a little more original.

StacyKendra In reply to The-Definition [2007-01-13 04:53:15 +0000 UTC]

Aww! I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry! It >looks< very good indeed. But I think the concept of eyes on hands has appeared in a lot of mythos, even of the ancient sort. Not just some dumb movie.

When I saw the thumb of this, I honestly had no idea what it was, how it was made, and even on full view I didn't understand until I read your comment. I like the image. It's compelling. I like the color range, the green is vibrant and emotional charged. The only thing I wonder about now is the meaning of the picture. What are you trying to convey? Also, I think that this would be SO cool as a painting, or if you used brushes in PS to make it appear like a painting. Good job!

The-Definition In reply to whobekindto [2007-01-13 04:08:25 +0000 UTC]

I was going for "fright" or "terror" but I don't think I captured that adequately. The title directly translates into "green terror." Thanks for that comment.

now that you mention it, the crinkle above the eye, it looks like the shape of an eyebrow in a frightened expression. ahhhhh
