Truly scary image. Gives me the creeps but a perfect image for B&W ... looks like an outtake from a 1950's movie!

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, my kinda piece....psychotic!

...... lil nitty pick though, IMO I`d tone down the dark parts of the texture, especially overlapping the doorway, my eye was a little too drawn to them.

Oh man, there was this weird game my nephews used to play on their small PS2s and you had to run through all these corridors of an old hospital while all these genetic experiments chased you.. this has the exact feel... EEEeEEEeeeeeeeEEEEEEKKKKKKK!

Creepy and cool. Nice job, author!

hehehe gruesome, my fav!

I hate that you do hair so well and demand a one to one lesson! great image author!

Anytime my friend. Once you have the trick it is not too bad, just time and patience and it doesn't hurt to have a tablet

nice nice nice

very well
favourite entry

and the minute i saw this image, i knew ... you've done a LOVELY job. such a touching piece of work. and hey, when you teach geex, will you promise to teach me too???

Excellent command of the fantasy genre.. every image you make makes me think of fairy tales and story books.

Edit: My only suggestion would be to make the model's shadow a little lighter, it seems very dark at the moment (or maybe blur it more?) If not i'd darken up the shadow the horse is casting.

@ Ponti - Thank you for the critique. I was really unsure how dark to make her shadow and was hoping someone would comment. I have made some changes - lightened the models shadow and darkened the horse a bit. I think it looks better now. Thanks for the help, your comment was very much appreciated

I realize this is surrealism, so all bets are off, but the figure doesn't match the scale of the horse. All else is well done!

Thanks CMYK
I did check here http://figure-drawings.com/How-to-Draw-Proportions-3.html, as she is curled up I based the proportions on the size of her head (within reason as it is a fantasy/surreal image as you noted). I added a step to the SBS to show what I did ...Check it out and let me know what you think?

Look at images (photos) of horse and riders...the woman is just too small.

good work.

Would love to see this in really large scale. Nice job!

This is amazing entry author,really really amazing...and black and white mood is perfect for this...your details are perfect...love the lucid feel of movement on horse tail and mane...And as for the size of the horse and the model...don't worry author...this is the Nahar horse of the Valar god Oromë and he is huge...on his back is Arien the maiden whom the Valar chose from among the Maiar to guide the vessel of the Sun...through clouds and sky Nahar take Arien to the Sun...so for that quest horse have to be huge...

erathion: If there was a super, double gold thumbs up it would be yours! What a wonderful story! I had forgotten about Nahar (LOTR... right?) Thank you so much for sharing your vision of my vision (I will have to steal the story for future use)!

wow ...... wonderful imagination..... really a dream work ...... all the best to u author .......

A whole story in a picture.. Love it, great execution, amazing hair. I thought the size of the horse's back was to big, but it didn't bother me one bit, it fits the purpose of this image very well.. I even think when the horse was the "right" size it would have not looked as surreal as it did and did not have the ability to mesmerize, what it sure does now.. Great work author and good luck!

congratulations...

Congrats!!

congrats for the 2nd place, beautiful job...

very nice job

Lovely work ... extremely expressive image! The composition and dynamics very well done.

One small thing ... I think the shadow may be off a bit. Model looks to be lit from the upper right (the moon) but I believe the cast shadow looks as if the light is coming from the upper left. I am not the best person with shading (it is my least favourite thing) but it just seemed not quite right IMO.

High points though and definitely a fav!

The author has done a pretty good job of replacing the shadow on left of the model with a highlight, which conforms to the light source. However, the cast shadow wouldn't be there, since the light source is positioned lower than the cliff. Hence, in this image, there would be no cast shadow on the cliff. Draw a line from the center of the background light source (lower left) through the area where the model's feet meet the cliff, and it will be obvious. Good marks for the concept.

Nice work.

killer image!

Thank you!

congrats man...

hi mod....just like an ideea?!.....Here is just a coincidence? ... or maybe it's the same thing as the coffee fun contest?.......http://unicorn-catcher.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d32e1oa

Fantastic composition! A brilliant manipulation, i love teh transparency of the cloth and the anguish in the model's stance.

Wonderful work, high marks

Wow so wonderful and an instant favorite for me. GL

Once, I was. would be a good title. GL

Great work on the transparency of the fabric. Very emotional image ... and great composition! Bravo!

Great job author...very moody work....gl

Nice surrealism here.

my fav for sure....

Great work, well done author and best of luck

In one word.. GORGEOUS.. Amazing mood, great composition.

Very nice composition...........G/L Author.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GL author!!!

very good
perfect idea!!

mind blowing idea

Very interesting image ... I find it a little dark around the women. I can't decide if it works better that way or not but it is a very clever and fascinating image..

Really nice composition here. I almost hate to suggest this but perhaps if you throw the city skyline out of focus a bit...it'll give some depth. It just seems a bit unnatural to have everything be crystal clear focus. Give it a try. I like it the way it is too...but I think my suggestion will really help.

very very good image...gl author

Nice effect & light contrasts...perfect for this contest GL
