IT'S RALLY CREEPY but I love it. I most like the movement effect you did- the skulls are perfectly still, cold dead, while the girl, her supposed to be still, is shivering from the cold because she's alive. You could have used more snow around - some even topples on the skulls to hide them even more maybe, so that some could really not see them at first glance- but your use of patterns is spot-on and really solidify the picture. The skulls are really well-done, too. Creepy lovely. Great job!

Thanks! :) I should've put more snow. It'd probably make my life a whole lot easier.

wut art skillz lol???

That's what my friend said, that it reminded her of the Holocaust. But I think I saw the same concept of piling skulls/placing skulls in a row for a tribute to the Rwandan genocide.

It's totally emo, in the most awesome way ever. I LOVE how everything is layered, and how the light bounces off the skulls, and how you can see the pattern/fabric of her robe. Mind giving us a little background info on the piece?

Thanks!

Background info? Well, I was looking up a lot of James Jean stuff. :)

beautiful =) really great details with the skulls and the simplistic way the girl is rendered plays perfectly with the rest of the image. love the blocks of texture used for her clothing. very nice!

Wow! I adore this picture. The photorealism of the skulls at the bottom of the picture are such a creepy contrast to the more stylized girl. And people without faces always scare me. Great job!
