The calm expression and pose combined with the sudden nightmarish grasping hand is perfect.

Wow you leveled up in my opinion! The values are just too damn fine!!! I like how you made her hair have the same matter/fx as the arm. Keep up the hot stuff

The figure looks so much more natural that some of your older paintings of people! I love the mood and lighting in this c:

This is such a wonderful picture, Lhune. I love the composition, and it's especially cool how the lighter-colored clouds frame her upper body. The perspective in the background is very well-handled too.
Man, I love seeing all the pictures you're making for this game. ^^

Wow, this is great! Beautiful drawing and painting as always, but I especially like how you handled the values in this one. The way the lower leg is so nicely silhouetted as dark on light and then transitions to light on dark as it goes up, feels very much like golden age illustration stuff! The fish-eye background is really cool too, haha. Great work!

Thanks Andan! I changed the process with this piece, I started out with values again rather than jumping straight into color. I think that helped a lot. Thanks again!

wow, it's your best anatomy and colouring until now, in my opinion. Awesomeness. But why is her face so "calm"? isn't she attacking something?

Heh yeah, I tried to make her look "ghostlike" with a creepy expression rather than a very aggressive expression (which I thought would make her look very "normal human-ish") but the result is probably not really what I tried to achieve xD. Really need to work on my expressions, they're tough!
Thanks a lot!

Totally butting in here, but maybe the expression would read more clearly if you changed the angle of her face? I'm thinking something snobby, like she's looking down her nose at you. Something like these, maybe? dove-stock.deviantart.com/art/β¦ phoeebstock.deviantart.com/artβ¦
Either that, or you could try exaggerating her features to make them creepier. So you could give her wide, dead glowing eyes or dark circles under her eyes... assuming that you're allowed to do that, of course. Maybe giving her an unfocused, thousand-mile stare or a slightly ajar mouth would add to the creepiness too? Really, anything that would land her in the Uncanny Valley would definitely add to the creepiness for me.
IDK, just some ideas. /shrug

Thanks for those refs! I couldn't change the design of her eyes, but a distant look may have been better than this, I agree :>. Thanks for the suggestions!
