Spooky!! Great image all around
I love the title of your piece haha! And waw, the monster lurking in the shadows really is hidden in plain sight. This is great, I got jumpscared by a still image :')
The 2 dot of light are just enough to make me detect the ghostly shape after 3 sec of loooking at the picture, it's very clever!
Awesome drawing!
Something very reminiscent of an old silent film about this to me. I dig it!
I love silent films (and old b&w horror talkies as well). I did think a bit about the movie "The Innocents", 1961, by Jack Clayton when making this piece, as well as "Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari" and silent films makeup for the face of the lady and her ghostly appearance.
Oh cool! I didn't see the ghost in the background at first. Reminds me of a cutscene from Clocktower. The grandfather clock is really well handled.
Great, I wanted to make the ghost blend in the background and experimented with the dithering tiles for the effect, I'm glad it worked for you. Is Clocktower a point&click game ?
Yeah! It's a point-and-click survival horror game, one of the earliest. I played the Switch rerelease recently. It was a fun play, I would recommend it. The girl in your drawing looks a bit like the main character and the ghost reminded me of the creepy atmosphere and cutscenes!
Thanks, I'll check it out with my girlfriend, she's really into point&click.
great work, love the 3 elements of composition and concept.
Ah, I must admit I had not realized I was placing 3 main elements in the composition. Let's call it a subconcious happy accident 😅.
