Description

I was going to do a speedpaint with the theme of "skitzo" at another forum... then I played around an idea in my head for too long. And this is what came out. I totally abused the Liquefy filter here. Was going to draw some Japanese style wall decoration but they made the picture too busy, I think. Also, blood is fun.

****
About the "ghosties", they are not multiple personalities of her; they are creations of her mind. She thinks they are evil things out to get her, lurking in the shadows, always behind her... but are they simply figment of her imagination? And although they may not be real, she is the one who's casting thre shadow. The shadow is real.... I wanted the monsters to look like shadows, but almost like they're coming out of the wall as well. The white hair is because er, she thinks too much. She's a paranoid skitzo bunny.
Heh I don't usually get so wordy with my pictures, it's an exception this time.

All PS7. Very strange picture for me, I know.

You know, I love this piece.
I would say that IMO technically Lilith is your best, but to me the mood of this one is so strong and so powerful, that I like it the most out of all your stuff.
I can somehow relate to this, so it makes the pic seem even betterto me :p
+10 from me for the feelings, for the "story", for the shadows and overal :)

PS. that floor texturing is awesome!

I love it! I can identify with the girl in the picture, I often freak my self out (actually I'm alone at work right now but I swear there is someone in the back room! :S).
Keep up the great work. You are one of my favorite artists.

Not as technically finished as some of you others, but like the foreboding overtones.

Nice concept and excellent rendering:) The shadow monsters look more like smoke to me though.
I agree on blood being fun.. but where does it fit in? I don't see any blood on her, so where does it come from?

nit-picky me. good job:)

Wow, you have out done yourself on this one:) I like the atmosphere and the way you have used shadows and light is very clever.

You didn't need to be so worthy cause this time the concept understandable without reding the description and this is how it should be always.
I like your work with colors and I like her face expression and blood on the flow,and that she's barefoot-it 's very sencitive
I think you could work more on shadows
9/10

She looks afraid, but also very lonely and kind of sad... I like the shadows an the details of the whole paint... +5/5

The floor is great, and I'm so happy you keep pushing the lights/darks and dynamic lighting in your recent works..it adds such a whole new depth to them.

Her expression is wonderful, as well as her poise.

The only crit I have is the blood on the left/bottom. It just a little unrefined, kinda just like some scribbles....

You know, somehow this reminds me of Miyazaki's "Spirited Away", but I'm not sure why. :) Excellent mood.

Peachy! I love this... Didn't think it was yours at first and had to look twice... I'm a sucker for hair with lighter shades in it anyway ;) Only crit, and not really one, perhaps the blood could be brought out a little more, with some judicious highliting. At the moment it kind of disappears a bit into the BG, but that could just be my monitor! Cool lighting on the girl as well...
