THIS IS NOT STOCK! STEAL THIS AND I SWEAR I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND REMOVE YOUR LIMBS...SLOWLY

:star:EDIT 06/09 In an attempt to see how I can improve on my own artwork I have enabled critiques on some of my most recently submitted artwork. Thanks in advance for any constructive, helpful ideas, thoughts, techniques!:star:

DETAILS ARE HERE - [link]
WALLPAPER PACK IS HERE - [link]


This came about mainly because I LOVE the Labyrinth and am a complete fangirl and because =CausticStock took some shots of me at Rivington that screamed Labyrinth to me heheh

I'd also like to say thank you to some rather nice girlies who haunt The Whispering Muse, you lot rock! Thank you for putting up with me!! :heart:

The old fear was hounding at her mercilessly, making every sound a new monster in a new nightmare. The innocent imagination that had once crafted the Labyrinth was gone, replaced by an ebbing cynicism and realisation that the world wasn't as beautiful or as pretty and safe as the 15 year old Sarah had once imagined.

She knew he knew she was there, somewhere in his Labyrinth, and she knew instinctively that he was furious. No doubt her somewhat precipitous arrival had shocked him more than it had her, though she was the master of her own devilry for getting the mirror out of the attic again. In her heart she knew that this time... This time he wouldn't be so helpful. She laughed at herself in her head.

"helpful my ass" She muttered glancing back towards the dark mass of the castle in the distance.

This time they would be playing for keeps, and she really wasn't sure is she was strong enough to stand against him again.

A sound on the stairs below her made her jump, holding her breath she turned slowly and looked him in the eye...

Critiques


:iconbab-jane:
Hey sweetie! :wave: :aww:

So, I keep seeing people writing critics, and even though I'm not a big fan of this, I think that sometimes some works need a cool comment. :D

I only saw this artwork recently in your gallery, and I have to say that I immediatelly faved it because it caught my eyes and amazed me.

First of all, the quality of the manipulation is impressive, the blending of the different elements is very well made, we don't even think that this piece is made of different pictures.
Also, the lightening is stunning, this mysterious night light coming from behind, the purple sky, all the elements for a magical composition.

The addition of the spiderwebs gives a realistic touch to the piece and it adds some kind of spooky effect, but not in a bad way, I mean, it really reminds us of those tales with castles and wizards.

The model; I totally love how you worked on the dress, and the ripped effect is really cool. And the most perfect part: the hair, OMG, I just love how you painted them, I wish I could paint hair that good, it's beautiful. :heart:

And to finish, the whole thing reminds me of my childhood (and it's a good point for you because I love to think about my childhood :D). I remember when I was like 6 or 7, I had this fairy tales book that I loved, and your manip just reminds me of the cover. If your work was actually a fairy tales book cover, I would definitely buy it and I would be eager to read all those wonderful stories inside: what is that mysterious castle in the background, why is the princess running away? This is how this work makes me feel.

Keep up the great work, and we need to see more manips from you because we love them (me at least! :D)

Looking at this piece on the whole I really can't see any areas of which I would or could suggest you need to work on. The whole piece is of a very high quality, the lighting to me seems spot on, each piece you have added into it as a piece fits nicely and works in harmony with the rest. I love the fantasy/rustic look to the piece - a theme which I love seeing from you, it's something you do and have always done amazingly well. To me, nothing looks out of place, I couldn't think of anything more you could add either, you have achieved a nice balance in this piece, an overall I like it... so I added it to my fav's!

Nice job with light & shadow, creates a pretty decent atmosphere. Shame to see your artwork-side so rarely, since the quality of it is just as killer as all the stockshots. :peace:

Tired and lonely. Sitting and staring
Weak and filthy. No longer caring
Wasting to nothing. The rubble of you
Hoping for something. Poison where love grew
:iconpastoral-insanity:
LABYRINTH :heart: totally awesome. It does have a very Labyrinth-y feel to it :D

There's a moment lost in time when she said "Hush, I'm on you're side. It's just the two of us. You know I'll never say good-bye."
