Description I just wanted to put up a comparison of my original piece vs the dozens of touch-ups I've done to it. As you can see the original is kind of bland compared to the updated work. The main things I felt I had to improve were the basic shapes of Jack's head, tux, and bow tie to make them more accurately match the movie. I also felt like re-vamping the spooky Halloween mist coming from the pumpkin and adding a reflective glow to Jack himself. And just for a nice little touch I added a flock of bats and a few clouds to further embellish the sense of Halloween in this piece. Who knows what I might add later on. Maybe ghosts, spiders, autumn leaves in the wind. But anyway I can't seem to stop adding minor things to this picture and I guess they look good because this is probably the most faved piece I have.

Anyone who views this please fave the main piece in my gallery. This was meant as a comparison and now I fear it will steal the faves from the actual featured piece. I'm probably being a pageview whore but.....yea.

And unfortunately I think most people fav it because they recognize the character, not because of the skill involved.
