Description

I am buried beyond the sight of heaven, beneath the very marrow of the sea.
I am buried beyond the grasp of dreams, beneath the fathoms of eternity.
I am buried beyond the reach of monsters, beyond the nightmare’s hand—
I am buried beyond escape, and they shall find me, and I shall drown.
I am buried.
__

No story behind this one. Just a feeling.

Spent all last month working on this. So please, look at the detail shots like your life depends on it!

Photoshop 7.0, crits welcome. :)

Da-a-a-amn, woman. Fantastic. I am such a sucker for cephalopods. The skin tones are gorgeous: cool but with a hint of blood beneath the surface in choice spots. I love the shadows cast on her body, too. I'm taking any minor peculiarities, such as the large hand, as stylistic decisions, since you obviously have the skills for strict realism. I think you probably wanted to keep the focus on that fabulous figure, but I could see adding a bit more solidity to the top of her coral/rock(?) perch and the tentacle(s) closest to us. Really, this rocks, though. I can't stop staring at that knee!

Thanks for the crit, chickenfingeres! Hahah, I always paint hands too large because my own hands are oversized and stuck on disproportionately thin wrists ;) You're right about adding some more volume to the tentacle and rock. It was so hard to find a balance between everything.

Excellent work!

The attention to textures, especially on the octopus and the coral/rock, and the murkiness of the water really make the picture something special.

A month well spent. :)
