cool image.i like your ghost.:bounce: :thumbsup:

[gaiXyn]

I've always loved the way you've drawn and model your women, and I feel no different about this piece. Sexy and a lil scary mixed. Very nice man. :thumbsup:

Great image, Steven, I love the character's expression. The colours and textures are extremely well done, too. :)

I have a question though: did you make the woman cover her breast for preventing nudity or because you wanted it this way? I thought it might also work well, if her left hand, instead of the breast, would be somewhere near her face, like just moving to cover her mouth in a scream or so, to underline the fear... Well, just an idea.

Great work nonetheless.

[jramauri]

Excellent piece. Remind me of these new ghost movies like The Ring, and others.

[Milosh]

Very nice, I really like it. That girl looks like a doll, I think it would be better if she would be more realistic. ;)

[niva]

Hehehe, looks like something inspired by the grudge? Excellent work once again. I'm curious how you integrated the maya work into this, did you just model the faces for lighting purposes or the entire scene?

5 star work as always, congrats and thanks for continuing to inspire.

[Lman]

Well well what can i say Steven I think I will start and finish with one word-
Outstanding.

Keep the great work
Regards Liam ;)

[inky2]

Beautiful and nevertheless little scary work:)
I like colours, soft contrast between light and shadows,very good body modeling with the brush...
Beautiful!

[OKMER]

Whoo,just love the atmosphere you've created.Stunning image.
Somehow her left elbow should maybe be visible on her viewed from the back also.
just a thought,Amazing work!!!4*
:beer:

[Leshiy3d]

I really like it and your method of using 3d references :thumbsup:
5 *****

Hi Steven. Dang your good. Spooky.
Nice rump and the plumpness is something I been trying to do for a while. Especially for a first, or the first I've seen you done. Splendid, and sweet proportions.
She's very pretty. Actually, she's fine. My only critique would be, the hair (which I like) does make her face profile, from the back view, look undesirable in the smaller picture - or how it looks from farther away. With the close-up, I don't see anything wrong. But really, it's a very small suggestion, compared to your accomplishment.

Awesome work.

[RaresH]

That is a freaky picture. Sexy lady and scary ghost kid. That woman is reacting as if she’s seen the ghost before and is trying to come to terms with it. The little girl also resembles your main character which could lend an interesting juxtaposition.

[Spc]

WoW.
Amazing masterpiece!
I am breathless.
10 Stars!

:buttrock:

[Stahlberg]

Thanks guys!
RaresHalmagean, funny you should mention that, in the screenplay this is an android on the run from the law because she's gone schizoid and keeps seeing her 'younger self' (in fact just an implanted memory). :)

She covers her breast as a reflexive nervous gesture, I guess.

I only used Maya for the faces.

Snowkiwi, yeah the wet hair isn't that great... :)

[BGHart]

Fantastic! I love the atmopshere and the little ghost looks real creepy. If I imagine this would happen to me.... Shiver.
Bravo for your imagination, Mr. Stahlberg. :applause:

[boxy]

Scarier than any horror movie I ever saw :)
Beautifully executed.
Boxy

[coochaki]

nice atmosphere!:thumbsup:

[Agata]

It's a really alarming illustration. :)

A plain-looking composition wich works very well because of this simplicity.

[CyborgJA]

INcredible piece for anatomy, composition, colors and meaning.
5* without any doubt.

[Mirwen]

Yeah, her face is great as well as colors. But what I really like is the panties how they look like sliping down on the righ side and how tight they are:drool:- it's very sexy. ehm- oh- couldn't help it sorry:shrug:

[cypherx]

I think her covering her breast as opposed to her face is way more natural, and adds to this image a ton. Glad you didn't shoot for the obvious as some might have, sort of shows you have a storytelling side to you. In fact the only reason I looked at this image as long as I did was I was putting myself in her place, and I think I would have done the same thing; covered my goods in front of the "child". The more cliché artist wouldn't have thought of that, and would have instead gone way overboard and too dramatic. thumbs up!

ps... I LOVE her panties, and the way they're resting on her ass.... and I'm giving five stars

[Fish-KAart]

:thumbsup: Its-5 stars! Super work!I lake it-god lake!:)

[elnady]

Great work
i think the girl face is not so scary,she need to be more evil
Nice make me remmember smanta from the ring :)

[MoonVisionStudio]

Great image as usual, but I think the ghost girl should be somewhat transparent, at least in some areas.

[waheednasir]

great, perfect mood, just according to the scene...with well chosen palette...:).

:thumbsup:.

[EhsanD]

Amazing artwork ...
Very nice color ...
5 stars .

[radkrish]

Hi!!..

Nice work.. good colors.

[fensterer]

Wow, you did a great job conveying her fearful expression! Fantastic job. I am really a huge fan of your work! Great stuff! :D

[deadman4ever]

Wow...great atmosphere! Like it!! :applause:

[alfy]

That's fantastic! I haven't seen anything from you like this for a while! Congrats :)

[AlonChou]

This pic is really cool,the atmosphere and the light in the bathroom is
ghastly,I love it! awesome work!

[iman121]

Wwooww :eek: woow
great as usual :bounce: :thumbsup:

[digitalinkmind]

Scary scene... The woman are very sexy. Stunning master artwork as aways.:)


Cheers!

[Rocwell]

thats so creepy and so good in everyway....great work!

[Ginsu]

I think it would have been better if you could see a little breast action and have the ghost BEHIND her as apposed to being in front.

[Chevelin-pierre]

Beautifull and incredibly frightening!!!

[Picky]

I think I've seen this before somewhere but can't remember where... anyways, nice concept, and colors. What I love the most about your paintings, is the lighting. Superb job on that!
If I could point out the girls balance in the reflection is a bit off. The girl is somewhat balanced on her right leg and is supported by her right arm, so there should be some weight in the reflection as well which I don't see. Should her left elbow show? Would it matter if the ghost is more translucent? Don't know, just my random thoughts. You are the master, I am sure you have thought of that already..... :)

[Arias]

OMG, You 're really a grand master.

I admire you so much that you are accomplished in both 2D and 3D software. So amazing! Also you are well up in screenplay!:eek:

BTW,This work reminds me of another fantasic work by the master Linda Bergkvist. : )

[Stahlberg]

Thanks guys!
wow that's weird how this thread got 3 replies after sleeping for nearly a year... what happened? :)

[yl924]

Great idea! The atmosphere was very very good

[AndyH]

Nice pic. great use of colour and composition, though its hard to be scared or feel anything with her arse drawing the eye away!

[jaya6v]
