Description ... after all the evil escaped, hope remained in the woman's womb.

Honestly, one day, I'll find something else than a butterfly to represent 'hope.'

I know that the background is a typical Gothic-art background but it has a meaning because Pandora did release all "evils." So I pictured the sky darkening and storms arising.

Anyway, simple concept and well-known story even though it was really Pandora's "jar," not box.

Couldn't resist doing a manip on Pandora after seeing ~lindowyn-stock 's pics

Model is from three combined pictures. And since you all know that I fail at human anatomy... Pandora probably looks weird.

Freaky face she's got there. The skin colors are different..... =.=

MICHAEL JACKSON!!!!!!! Oo Oo Oo

Fire looks a bit fake, tilted somehow.
Skull used over, and over, and over again. Like a signature. Skull FTW!

Nice job.

I'll have to manip for my next piece...

This is really great, Ruby! I know, like you said, that the background does seem very 'dark-esque', but I think it really does add to the feeling of the piece. I can see what you mean when you say Pandora released all evil so you represented it well. I really love your use of the model here. The water also adds an odd but very subtle contrast to the fire coming from the box. I do have one idea that I don't like here. To me, it seems like there is some sort of light on the models face and arms that doesn't need to be there. It sort of seems like you tried to highlight her with this light but I don't think it worked very well. The light should be coming from behind with the clouds and/or possibly from the box. Maybe use some very subtle reds to highlight her face instead of the white that you have now. I think that would seem more 'realistic' (if you can say that about this piece) and more clear of an image. Just a thought though, hun. :)

I've decided, a couple months later, that I wish I had my very own flaming skull. And I am opting to make this...
