ZOWIE KAPOWIE!!!!!!

beautiful ! cute entry , well done

Have more grass overlapping the bases so they don't look like they're floating...otherwise, nice job!

i like em floating.. always imagined grim reapers floating.. jusy my opinion though. Great work Author

agrees about what cmyk said but still a very creative and unique take on the theme. GL!

wow

I like everything except the background. I would've liked to see something with more details in the background, like some tombstones or some eery clouds or something. Nice entry regardless.

hey thanks everyone for your comments. i'll work on that "floating" thing. and i messed with the background a bit before i decided on this more "plain" setting. i really wanted the focus on them...too much in the background really caused an issue.

Thanks again!

Creepy romantic, author! GL...
Just one thing, only noticeable in hi res: beside bones still are white spots...
@Slushy: what language are you talking? Or who is he/she?

great and nice...... a little suggestions, the edges of the palms are a little sharp... and they need some shading too...... good luck

I agree with westfall I like the floating look also

Great work author...good luck

Love this, very clever use of source. Agree with erikuri, her hand bones need erasing. LOL @the shadowing on his staff - reminds me of Nightmare Before Christmas character!

Okay, good thing i forgot my external drive with the update on it, i now have just a final tweak to do to the image and i'll update my entry.

Thank you all for the suggestions. Should have an updated version before the contest ends.

ya know, now that Westfall has pointed it out, it does kind of add a better effect to make them look like they are floating.

HOLY CRAP! 8 favs? You must me, just delighted with that.

wow ........... great ..............all the best to u ..........

I absolutely love this...great job with the skeleton hands and looks awesome in high res...GL

ooh.All shapes is AWESOME.I like it

Nice

very pretty

Like the colorcombi a lot, but the interconnection between the pic and your creation could use a touch up.

Beautiful!

Wow this is uniqe good job

Pretty nice. To make it more a whole, you might wanna add a bit of shadow here and there on the face coming from the pink decoration, so it looks more like it's really on the head. Good luck!

Very artistic & well crafted!
