Give Up My Soul

Description

...I think my computer hates me after this one XD I made it a fair bit over A3 size with a load of layers and masks, but it was nice to make a pic in only PhotoShop again ^^

So, this is a remake of a pic from nearly 4 years ago:



Here's a copy/paste of the dream:

"I was one of a group of comdemned people for some reason. I'm pretty sure we were condemned 'cause we had white 'x's painted on our foreheads. Anyway, the time for our punishment arrived, and I was almost brickin' myself over it. It was my turn next, and the woman before me stood before a terrible monster, who must have been a demon, 'cause the punishment was to be eaten by him. He lunged at the woman and began to devour her, with her screaming in agony.

A voice next to me said "detatch your soul and you may be freed of this pain", so she tore off the cross on her forehead, and her left cheek seemed to shatter, her eyes turning lifeless. The monster ate her, and it was my turn. Before I could feel the pain, I tore the cross off my forehead and didn't feel anything. I woke up and had the same feeling all that morning, so I wondered if it was real or not."


Main difference is the cross isn't on the forehead in this one, but that was tiny enough for me to not fuss over that ;P Also no monster, but spikes'll work good too.

So, hope you guys enjoy! It took two days, on and off to finish. Maybe about 9 or 10 hours in total.

I missed this in my inbox somehow, yet it's right up my alley!

I love it when you break from the normal and try something really neat ^_^ this just speaks wonders to me! I never had a dream like that, but I almost relate to the picture in my own way.

I love the colouring of the body and soul, and the impaling really is amazing!
This is really really cool.

Something i'm oddly drawn to is the 'spirit' almost looks like she's smiling. Even though her body is dying, she seems so happy :)
