Description

The village was hot in the humid air, the bamboo slats of the huts stagnant and wet. Sticky and starving in the pit of her stomach, Mira stalked the edges of the Human Country, just hidden in the cover of the dense jungle. She could almost feel the acid leeching her thoughts, starving her of the will for civility. Her teeth ached and her vacant eyes scanned with the deadness and longing of age from a pallid face delicately preserved. 

Her gaze darted -- movement. She stood stalk still as a child skipped noisily between the trees, breaking branches and disturbing leaves with every trot. Mira remained frozen, but expanded her pointed mouth sumptuously, a sweet scent bubbling forth. The child turned, sniffing softly, humming as she walked ever closer. Then the foreign sounds ceased, and white noises of the jungle were all that remained. 


Inspired by a carnivorous terrarium my fiance and I bought recently Created in Photoshop CS6.

This is amazing! She looks so beautiful, yet the picture has something mysterious and creepy as well, the colouring looks really good!

Thanks man! I feel like the last few have really helped me figure out what I want to show/talk about in my work too, which has made practicing that much more enjoyable. So far I've got 6 of these paintings done, excited to show the next few
