This is really good. The smokiness coming off the walking death lady gives the effect she has been mummified! Like the starkness and monotone look. Much good luck this week!

EEEEW! Very haunting this piece. I like how you've given her a bit of a "halo" in the use of the textures. Nicely done.

Fantastic level 1 entry, I can see the mentioned graveyards in the background, and I really like your choice of stock, they work extremely well together. Keeping it black and white was a clever choice. Two little things for me is the texture on the model, it seems a little too heavy, try fading it just a touch more. And also your cutting of the model is a little too raw and could do with some softening especially around the hair areas.
Otherwise this is a really great antry and I wish you all the best in the challenge

Hello mellier, thank you for entering the contest, I wish you the best of luck. I like the black and white style you went with here, it is very unique among the other entries.

In the future, when you're working with a dark image, be sure it does not look too dark (a habit I have). I can barely see what's in the background, and would not have known about the grave stones if I had not read your stock credit.
Also, consider cropping this image. There's more background than there is model.
These are just suggestions to help you with your deviations. You may or may not want to do anything to this one and edit it, and that's okay.
Otherwise, you did good.

Thanks for the tips. I lightened it up a bit and cropped a bit. I hope it is better now.
