Well, for the record, this is probably one of the creepiest pictures I've ever seen. A bride/widow...I think of war brides. Her hand gesture and her rolled shorts show her insecurities while her still tilted upright head shows that she's still waiting hopefully.

amazing job. the positioning of her hands seems like a praying gesture to me. your handle on anatomy is beyond incredible.

like a cactus.

hmmm very nice although the hands seem a bit small to me...seing as they're about the size of the head in proportions. The overall design and concept is amazing i love the use of colour and intrecate designs on the clothing and jewelry. Its very dark and Gothic, very nicely done.

I want her dress for my (never-happening) wedding. XD It is a gorgeous design. And the shading has the most beautiful painted texture to it.

This is incredible. You really got both the bride and widow, dead on. It's astonishing. I worship your amazing art skills. I really her pose and the feel of the picture.

Excellent thought in having her eyes closed. The character she portrays with the hunched back, closed eyes, and slight tilt with the head really show she is accepting the defeat she so slowly strides into. The headpiece throws me off a little with me thinking of a warrior female breaking before the might of another. Her freewill is snapped and cuffed like her fingers (intertwined like tough rope). The collar really addes to the 'chained' impression like she will forever be a slave to her mate.

So, in essence, she is slowly walking to her own funneral.


The real imagery here is in the imagination as you think and chew on the reason why she looks like that instead of 'perfecting' it. Her flaws only seem to add more to her character and the symbolism you portray.

To twist one purest cause
Into an honest verse,
Itself, a call to angels.
The saddened lips of song that
Kiss away our innocence
From the vile mundane.

headdress dealie captivates me.

Nice job. I like her outfit. To me the expression on her face is either peaceful or mourning.

When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.

The hands are a bit small, and I thought her ear was a bit up too high (but then I realised her head was tilted away from me).

Wonderful dress design, especially the stiff look of the collar.
