Title: Into Your Eyes
Name: Linda Bergkvist
Country: Sweden
Software: Photoshop

Thy soul shall find itself alone
'Mid dark thoughts of the grey tomb-stone –
Not one, of all the crowd, to pry
Into thine hour of secrecy
(Edgar Allan Poe)

A friend came over and calibrated my screen the other week. Now I’m thinking it might be a little messed up. But it shouldn’t be - his calibration was nearly exactly the calibration that adobe gamma had suggested (and he used one of those thingabobs, it was attached to the screen and blipped and blopped, oh well)… the problem is that this particular picture looked absolutely iffin awful on another friend’s screen. If the piece looks terribly washed out, please tell me - the colours are supposed to be a warm bronze-orange, and a purple-blue.

Oh well. I darkened it a little in hopes of it looking decent on most screens, instead of nice on mine and horrid on everyone else’s I might have to darken it further if my screen is the only one it looks okay on. If everyone is seeing it TOO dark now, I’d like to know that too. I’m going to take a peek at it on as many screens as I can, and then see if I need to change it back or something, sigh.

Originally, this piece was started for the M&S Challenge, but I decided to pull it out of the contest because I just didn’t feel it fitted in, and I like my other piece more. So I finished this one and thought I’d show it to you guys in case someone wanted to see how it turned out :]

For those who didn’t read about it in the challenge, I had a model for this one. She and her boyfriend just took a look at it, and could almost sort of recognise her in the neck-area, because apparently, her neck looks a little bit like that, heheh, so I will dedicate this piece to Mikaela - thanks for the help. Also, used a bit of reference for the cracks in the mirror. I’ve never painted broken glass before.

What more… Oh, perspective is skewed on purpose. The pattern on the dress took forever and a day to do and ended up showing very little, if at all >:[ The screaming faces freak me out a little, so I’m more happy about them than the rest of the image Blood textures were painted in Painter, the rest was done in Adobe Photoshop.

A few close ups? Well, here you go,

Anyway, enjoy <3

This is just truly amazing… It kind of reminds me of myself in a way… When I look into a mirror, I am disgusted by what I see… I see visions of people frustrated…sad…and laughing at me… But, -Sigh.- What ever… Don’t really care anymore… I’m just a tortured soul now, wandering the lands, searching for something of which I will never find… -Shakes her head.- Hmm… Sorry, got a little too into what I was saying, but, yeah… o_o; This is really, really, kewl! I even sketched it out in my drawing pad… ^_^; I give it a… 1000/10. =P. Keep up the good work… ^^; -Hugs.- Bai!

very good picture!

[AzzAnt]

Disturbing but very well done. The colours dont really make sense but I can understand why the mirror needed to be contrasting. Good work.
