The scan wasn't kind to it. I don't know why sometimes the scanner makes things look so grainy. It seems to pick up and then magnify the almost non-existent texture of the paper in this one. Annoying.

Anyway. This one was done for The Herscher Project, project 28, Fear's Playground. This one was based off a nightmare I had a few a years ago. Basically I have this slight fear of drowning...and I had this dream that this rather malevolent nixie was terrorizing this small town near the sea and killing off men and boys. It was a vastly creepy dream that I can still remember quite vividly.

Anyway, the dream began with her drowning a boy who had been out surfing...so...yeah. We get this.

This picture is amazing. The colors balance nicely and the whole idea is awesome. I love fantasy pieces and I do believe this one needs some recognition. The grain that was accidently added by the scanner actually made the piece look cooler.

freaky

Minstrel Ayreon Says:

Wow, that IS freaky indeed! She definitely has the look of a serial killer; even without the skulls I would've thought it...there's that sexual sadist look to what she's doing.

The colors are absolutely wonderful...even if the scanner chewed on it, it STILL looks great.

Kori Says:

I his LEGS. They're so perfect! Her side fin thing is great too.

Mitteh Says:

engle Says:

Hey you finished it! I think the gain actually works very well for this one. It's very dark... not just by color, it IS pretty creepy, and well... you just nailed this project.

Nesses Says:

Megara Says:

Zlady Says:

Terrifying dreams you have, if only they didn't result in art like this I'm pretty sure you'd want to rid of them...

Shadow Dinosaur Says:
