Title: Death Of The Virgin
Name: Laura Koivunen
Country: USA
Software: Photoshop

This work began as a contemplation of death, reincarnation, and religion. At the time it was started I was studying a variety of religious imagery in my art history class, and otherwise overwhelmed by an utter fear of death. It's funny how working these things out in art can ease the mind.
Reference was used from a friendly deviantart stock artist, Attemptestock (http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/28043233/).

Nice choice of colors! And I also think the character style is a pleasant mix of modern and classic. Beautiful painting.

Very nice work ! I would have liked a little bit more colors and I also think that the baby is a little bit too small compared to the woman. Children especially have quite big heads from early on.
