Overall this piece is great, but however I dislike the tiled background. I would suggest blending the perimiter of each tile if you know what I mean by that. It can hardly notice it though since the mirror and robed model is the center of attention and focal point.

I would think the mirror would keep the flat, lusterous image...rather than reflect the airy surroundings...
...for like a...I dunno, shinnier imagery or something
I vision things differently, as most people would...

However, this is quite interesting...

not really vain but refelctive, since that's usually what a death makes you do...think of the past and of the possible future.

I was just pointing a humorous point to it...lol. At least, if he was facing the mirror...
...but yes, Death does sorta make you think about it all.

After seeing the other entries, I was pretty sure I wasn't going to win but that's why we do these things...to learn and grow. 12th is better then I thought I would place, lol. Thank you for the fav!

... *Huff* *Puff* Let's see how many of these I can comment on... Starting with this one because it's just damned cool. The mirror is just awesome- and the skulls are too great

If you notice tiling on your backgrounds, try a 45% opacity eraser, and the CTRL 'T' command to shift them around- they'll blend together real nice then.

If useless tidbits are, in fact, useless, just ignore that... Oh, say, last sentence and a half

I would never consider you cheap dear...unless you wore something frilly and mauve, then I would have to think hard.

I will happily take and easy lesson over a hard one any day so don't stop sharing your brain with me...it's so lovely, all grey and wrinkly, tasty even.

I faved this one soon as I saw it..but wasn't able to comment yet...now that I am off today...I have time to really look...and I have to say....this is probably one of the best you done that I enjoy of the darker side of art. I love the blue you used on the background and how you added the skulls in the mirror....the figure is well added as well...good job sweety

SoulCatcher78 In reply to Sassea [2005-12-07 01:22:05 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much dear. The images in the mirror were sort of an accident. I skewed the mirror a bit to get some angle on it and suprisingly it did something to the background. Not sure what happened but I was happy with the results (kept me from having to add something to the mirror...likely a family image or something dreadful like that, lol).

Woah this is wonderful...... I like the drak shades, but the reaper kind of blends in unless you view it in full view. Great job piecing it all together

SoulCatcher78 In reply to redheadpunk [2005-12-05 04:52:28 +0000 UTC]

yup, agreed on the blending. Working on a way to make him stand out a bit more without making him seem "glowy". Thank you.
