Description Ombra

She is the dark beauty who inhabits the gloom. Darkness is her constant companion, both inside and out. Unnoticed by those who pass by, unaware of her existence and blissfully ignorant of the terrors she brings.

But the children have glimpsed her, alone in their beds, where she shadows move and dance in the darkest corners of the room. She is the merchant of dark dreams, invading peaceful slumber to weave it with apprehension and trepidation.

She is Ombra, mistress of shadows.

Im not sure where this one came from, my first truly dark deviation, but I think it works well.

So gloomy and lovely. A strange juxtaposition, but she's kind of like a nightmare: frightening but hard to tear away from.

Beautiful work. You've really made the model seem so dark and added a gorgeous air of mystery and death.

Thank you. Thats a wonderful compliment.

Because I wanted to preserve her beauty, I tried to make the shadows more sinister and experimented some more.

The result is Awakening [link]

No worries at all!

Awakening is beautiful also. You've certainly preserved her beauty while making it noticeably more sinister. I love it.

It looks like a painting, I can't do things like that but it's really beautiful! Good work

mizdestiny In reply to LadyAmdis [2008-08-20 19:38:22 +0000 UTC]

It does. By the time Ive finished Ive filled every part of it with my own brushwork in layers with the original as a guide.

But my technique on this is filter/underpaint then edit/fade/underpaint for each layer, then I use lots of blending and painting on top of that.

Im gonna try to make a downloadable walkthrough/tutorial from the scraps I uploaded.

LadyAmdis In reply to mizdestiny [2008-08-20 20:02:12 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I see. It seems a very complicated technique, but the result is really beautiful.
Making a downloadable walkthrough/tutorial would be very helpful

mizdestiny In reply to LadyAmdis [2008-08-21 08:17:45 +0000 UTC]

Its not so hard really, they are almost automatic actions..in fact I made them into my own actions. the rest is blending
