Description I love those kind of amusement parks with a bit of spooky feeling...Photoshop cs3,hmm, can't remember how many hours on this one but it took me much time to complete.

Thanks again for looking!

Manthos you out did yourself with this one. there's alot going on here and you pulled it off.the painting tells a story in itself.

this might be my new favorite of yours.

Hi there my friend,I am really flattered by your comment man so i have to truly and kindly thank you for this...I devoted some more time to actually try to create some concept that seems to tell indeed some story there,i am happy that it worked and it is noticed,i tortured my mind to find some little tricks that would make it work the way i wanted so i used various element "hints" in the image to achieve that.Also, colouring was the final stage to suceed some "happy" atmposhere that counters the creepy and mysterious feeling there...Its also my new favorite of my works,hehe,thank you very much George.

Thank you very much Ben,i appreciate it man,the truth is that i am still in my early experiment phase with photoshop(i am counting one year of photoshop so far) and always like to try various things that should look effective in my concepts.
Glad you like this and thanks for the comment

Hmm, been been to an amusement park in so long, funny though, when I was a kid, I would have been too scared of the "spooky" ones, and now that I'm older, I probably won't be interested in them anyway

The lighting and colour choice is great, especially the original idea of the bright light behind the zombie-guy, since most would have made that a dark doorway instead, but you made it have a ghostly glow effect

ManthosLappas In reply to Chromattix [2008-10-09 20:44:47 +0000 UTC]

Hey there man thank you ,glad you like it,i used to get often to amusement parks as i kid and enjoyed it and got spooky often,now as a prettu much older i still like to pay some visits if the chance is given but this time to just laugh there ,with the funny dolls,screams and other things that try to scare you still,nice memories so i wanted to make something about those parks...i trully love the "b-horror" and the overall feeling there...
I thought of the light behind the guy like theres something "fishy" going on there due to the fact that the park is actually closed if you see the various signs or papers around the ground showing that this had to be a deserted place already
