Description

What is A Flock of Ravens?

"Circumdederunt Me"

Circumdederunt
me gemitus mortis,
dolores inferi,
circumdederunt me.

The sorrows of death
encompassed me,
the pains of Hell
came about me
CristΓ³bal de Morales, 1500-1553

... And somehow Fallene is perfectly content with the creepy zombie hands clawing at her >O>;;

I haven't drawn anything macabre in ages, so I figured it was about time to get back into the groove of things. I missed drawing dark art so much ;O; Expect to see more creepy stuff from me in the future... 'cuz that's the direction I hope to move in. And I also hope to do a companion piece of sorts to go with this.

Looking at this again, for the first time in a while. I still find it visually mind-blowing. But something which has always puzzled me...
What's sitting in her lap? A skull?

lol, yeah, it's a skull. This is one of those pictures that I keep meaning to redraw...

Aah.. I see. Well, I think you'd only really need to redraw the skull.

It's interesting to back through your entire gallery and see how your art style changed. I have to say, I really like Fallene's design the best in this one. You definitely have an eye for fashion and a unique drawing style!

She always wears such elaborate hats. It looks great. I wonder if a hat like that would be heavy in real life? Either case, I think it would be cool to wear a hat like this (as well as the dress). Ha ha, I like your description of Fallene looking content with zombie hands...I was almost thinking the same thing before I read your description. (I thought," She sure looks calm. If I had hands reaching like that towards me, I'd freak.")

wow that's a really *strong* picture! both colours and lines are very effective and... strong xD much stronger than in your usual pictures. but I like it. details are amazing as always. although I'd prefer a somehow more subtele face, but I guess that was your intention. anyway, can't wait to see more!

Thank you

Subtle in what way? I know the eyes are super-large ^_^;; I think the one thing I regret about the face is that her cheeks and nose are a bit too rosey...

Anako-ART In reply to Seitou [2009-02-16 20:12:36 +0000 UTC]

I think I told you once about what I think would be more subtle her cheeks are ok for me, but her nose and chin could be rounded, mouth smaller and eyelashes - less thick :> then she would look more delicate and younger, for sure, at least from my perspective. you may also try finding photographs of pretty women and redrawing them in your own style, but keeping these proportions. I do it myself sometimes when I think I can't draw a proper beauty... but of course everything depends on your own taste

Seitou In reply to Anako-ART [2009-02-17 01:58:53 +0000 UTC]

Oh, okay The pointed nose and face are intentional, though. But I might try making her mouth smaller so that she looks more delicate.

Good.

I don't know why, but from afar, it looks like if the hat had some big fanged mouth. Is that intentional?

I really really love it! So much to see, so much details! Her hair and eyes are so beautifull, well all is and I love the creepy hands. I only have one point of critique; overall it is so pretty but the colour seem to brught and cheerfull warm-autumn-ish to be very macabre... but that's okay, it's just so overwhelmingly pretty anyway XD you are the true queen of costumes!!!

Seitou In reply to Ysa [2009-01-18 16:28:57 +0000 UTC]

Thank you I was going to make the backdrop darker, but I was too afraid. I wasn't sure how it would show up on other people's monitors... so instead I went for a fiery/hellish look instead

Ysa In reply to Seitou [2009-01-18 21:33:02 +0000 UTC]

ah allright ^^ well that fiery thing sure worked out then (: it's stunning! I never think about other peoples monitors... I bet the colours of my art look really bright on other ppl's pc's hahaha

Friedenmann [2009-01-18 11:08:30 +0000 UTC]

Well, her face is not less zombie-like. Also, I think it's rather expressionless, doesn't build the tensions which is essential in macabre art.

Seitou In reply to Friedenmann [2009-01-18 16:27:28 +0000 UTC]

Fallene is supposed to look dead I always try to make her look dead/deathly pale whenever I draw her, but sometimes the color filters make it less obvious. I do need to work on expressions, though. Then again, given her circumstances, I wonder whether it'd be appropriate for her to look afraid...

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Friedenmann In reply to Seitou [2009-01-18 17:49:25 +0000 UTC]

Well, not necessarily afraid, I've got a vision, but it's hard to describe it. It would be easier for me to draw her, I guess.

I'll put it on my "to do" list. You don't mind me drawing your characters?

Beautiful dress and mind-blowing hat as usual! The hands work really well to nice, solid, creepy effect. It makes the picture look really interesting that she looks comfortable with them surrounding around her!
Good job! I'm really gonna like this creepy stuff, as long as you do your Princess series hehehe!

Wow! This is quite an eyeopener! It's like the beautiful and intricate details of everything are just grabbing for your attention, and once your eyes fall on Fallene's face, it's like "Wow! Beautiful!"
