Description
She haunts the forest...
Encasing it in a misty shroud
Instilling a disconcerting silence
...She'll turn your dreams to nightmares...

This image was to be my 2005 Halloween pic but I never got around to finishing it. I started it last year, but it turned out a lot different from how it was before. For one the style is a lot more realistic and the background...feeling and aura is a lot...darker I suppose. But I really like the results! I redid the whole thing during the Memorial weekend because it wasn't up to par and I'm quite happy I did. I decided to upload it today because on Friday and Saturday I won't be here so I won't have time to. >.< Well, hope you like! At first I was going to name it "witch of the pumpkin patch", but people might start thinking she really is (when she isn't) so I chose a Light in the Darkness. Not too bad a title either. Sounds cliche though...meh, oh well.

Yes. Her hair is supposed to be white without any shading (but with the green highlights).
Yes. I suck at birds. v___v
Yes. Her skin is supposed to be pale. I was thinking of making it paler but then the hair wouldn't contrast as much. Plus I suck at making "realistic" extremely pale skin. And yeah, she's supposed to look bony/skiny as well [in the arms/hands]
No. Her dress is not blue, it's black, but I wanted more color to work with. Plus the monitor of the computer with the tablet has really bad settings and is really dark so I had to lighten it in order to see what I was doing.
Yes. She's a witch. !!

Problems: Hm. I found make her nose... "stand up" quite difficult and now it looks chubby. Ugh. The lips were so annoying, I had to redo them about 5 times, literally.
However, I found doing the orb/staff really fun! I like how it stands out in the picture. ^^ And I like the lighting effects, spent quite some time doing that. The pumpkin patch is okay, it was actually brighter but I wanted to keep the picture dark so I toned it down.

...Wow, first real original digital artwork I've done in weeks. Tell me what you think of this style please~! <3
