Description

This is a ghost's tale. There is a story for this one, but is too large for post it here. If you are interested, you can read it here: http://crisortega.com/wildrose-story.htm

Done as usual in photoshop. Enjoy!

Wow, this is truly wonderous. Great concept. the details are alone outstanding. Everything looks almost perfect, except for one minor thing, the church in the background looks a bit too flat (maybe consider adding a bit more shadows on edges) everything else looks outstanding. I actually feel some of the emotions in this picture. Fine work!

Wow that outfit she is wearing is incredible. I also love the statue. This is great, though I agree with the above on the church, needs a little more oomph to make it look real. Nice work indeed.

You have a real talent for painting fabric. You should do a tutorial.

Nice folds and details but the thing that bothers me the most is the face... its not as real as everything else...alignment problems I suppose.
Nice work though.

I agree with emart about the tutorial.

The statues and the girl are wonderful!
But there are too many artifacts that imho disturb the topic & composition (skull, rose, cut hand, colorful glass window, sign on the church saying "Property of...";). And I don't like the church much. Maybe because I don't understand its architecture - "Property..." labels look like having strong perspective, but the window on the left is flat...

Great picture. The 453x640 size does not give it justice though. If im not mistaken, the 640 limit is on the width, not the hieght. :)

My only crit is the stain-glass window in the church...as Lojza mentioned, its too colorful. Doesnt seeem to fit in with the rest of the image....espeically with the surroundings being all brick. Maybe if you just made it a simple cross window, or maybe just tried turing the saturation down. Other than that I think its great.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think you start illustrating the head first before the body. I notice some the same results of "head misalignment" as in my own sketches. Her head's kind off here.

It's clear Cris that you are exploring less anime-style work but that a few anime influences (such as how we draw heads vis-a-vis our bodies) remain.

It's not easy doing authentic backgrounds on photoshop especially if you are using a photoshop brush. In realit,various colors constantly animate the backgroun. But one brush with photoshop can freeze many of those atomic particles of color - killing them. I experienced it all too often.

I especially like those statues. The folds are spectacular.

So when will you be illustrating some muchachos? Still looking forward to it.

Even that the face doesnt convince me so much, the whole pic is outstanding! that +9/9 from me. It has story, it has blood, great style and awsome details... its something I like :)

Everyone has already mentioned the only things that need improving. I would just like to say that this is absolutely excellent! The statues and the folds in the woman's dress are...like....WOW. Well done!

Your technical brilliance is astounding! I can't stop staring at the stone statues--and the way you panted her skin is lovely too. Face/head seems a bit off though.

Very ambitious work. Really wonderful in areas--as everyone has pointed out. The hands are very well done with the exception of the one reaching out from the grave. The girl's (ghost's?) face reads as rather flat to me: the ear, eye and jawline seem to be on the same plane.

You continue to amaze me with your attention to detail--and your ability to render visually complicated materials.

Great details, the whole picture is very well rendered. You have a good eye for light and shadow. Your coloring is not that good though and that makes the picture look flat. Allso there are a few areas that are too blurry (ground, her arms and forehead) Great work nonetheless

I think the best part of this painting is the angels

Reminds me of Nicole Kidman. Very well done on the shadow depth on the angels. And her eyes! I love how they look.
