Artist's Comments

Coloured Mk 2.

As suggested by Qyube...I added some darkness around the top almost "creeping" down on the subjects. Im actually really happy with how it worked out.

Almost as if death itself is creeping down.

Cheers for the suggestion and the comments Qyube!

Wonderful work on the angles.. To me, it's almost as if she is looking at herself from the beyond?

I would have smoothed out the floor a bit more. But, other than that.. the colors go amazingly well with the subject. Great job!

Yes I did this myself :) (Smile)

I drew it on paper with pencil, scanned it and coloured it with Photoshop Elements, using Intuos2 graphics tablet.

The song that the peice is based on is called a Trace of Blood. It is by the band Pain of Salvation.

The song is about a woman losing a child. It is a very emotional and powerful song. I would post the lyrics but I think it would be really long on the comments page here.

Anyway thanks everyone who has responded so positivley to this peice. It has been the most positive to any of my works. Thankyou all very much.
