Description I have discovered that I'm rather intimidated by large colour palettes and appear to end up doing these "single colour" pictures way more than I should... gotta work on that >_>

Anyhoo, hugely inspired by paintings of Sir Frank Dicksee and John Collier.

Many many hours on Photoshop CS2 and my bf's Wacom Intuos 3

For , kiriban winner


(p.s. the compression has done some really weird things to the details, I worked pretty big for this picture so what you're seeing is about a 5th of a original size)

p.p.s. I will post up WIP pictures and details in the Scraps gallery sometime tomorrow, keep an eye out!

You are now cursed. You must send this on or you will be killed. Tonight at 12:00am, by Bloody Mary. This is no joke. So don't think you can quickly get out of it and delete it now because Bloody Mary will come to you if you do not send this on. She will slit your throat and your wrists and pull your eyeballs out with a fork. And then hang your dead corpse in your bedroom cupboard or put you under your bed. What's your parents going to do when they find you dead? Won't be funny then, will it? Don't think this is a fake and it's all put on to scare you because your wrong, so very wrong. Want to hear of some of the sad, sad people who lost their lives or have been seriously hurt by this email?


CASE ONE -

Annalise [Surname Removed] :She got this email. Rubbish she thought. She deleted it. And now, Annalise dead.


CASE TWO -

Louise [Surname Removed]: She sent this to only 4 people and when she woke up in the morning her wrists had deep lacerations on each. Luckily there was no pain felt, though she is scarred for life.


CASE THREE -

Thomas [Surname Removed]: He sent this to 5 people. Big mistake. The night Thomas was lying in his bed watching T.V. The clock shows '12:01am'. The T.V misteriously flickered off and Thomas's bedroom lamp flashed on and off several times. It went pitch black, Thomas looked to the left of him and there she was, Bloody Mary standing in white rags. Blood everywhere with a knife in her hand then disappeared. The biggest fright of Thomas's life.


Warning... NEVER look in a mirror and repeat -'Bloody Mary.Bloody Mary.' Bloody Mary... I KILLED YOUR SON' Is it the end for you tonight! YOU ARE NOW CURSED


We strongly advise you to send this email on. It is seriously NO JOKE. We don't want to see another life wasted. ITS YOUR CHOICE... WANNA DIE TONIGHT? If you send this email to...


NO PEOPLE - You're going to die.


1-5 PEOPLE - You're going to either get hurt or get the biggest fright of your life.


5-15 PEOPLE - You will bring your family bad luck and someone close to you will die.


15 -25 OR MORE PEOPLE - You are safe from Bloody Mary

Hello,

Your artwork is stunningly beautiful. The fabric looks very real. The gold trim that is all over the image is lovely.


I like the wood frame in the upper right corner. The viewer can see the background through the cross openings in the frame. You do such attention to detail. It is very beautiful.


The transition from light to shadow across the face of the model is exceptionally well done. Your excellence sets the high bar of standards for the rest of us. We following in your footstep in awe.


Thank you for sharing your excellent artwork with us.


Happy New Year.


Kindly,


Grant

You can read the story if you like, it's called Into the open air, my character Arashi was inspired by this gorgeous picture, I hope that's ok.
