"Windows to Your Soul" -- line art in pen on paper, free-hand digital color in Corel Painter on Intuos 3 tablet
This is for the Enchanted Visions Project's October 2012 theme/prompt, "Spooky Eyes". The theme/prompt was inspired, obviously, by Halloween at the end of the month, which happens to be the deadline for the project. When I first heard the theme, my mind replaced the word "spooky" with "creepy" almost immediately and I got the inspiration for this theme from that -- "creepy eyes" > "little kids with creepy eyes".
I have a strange fascination with creepy little kids with piercing eyes, the kind you see in horror movies (I don't know any in real life... ). It's the mix of what we usually see as 'innocent' with something dark and sinister that's interesting to me.
It's not my usual pretty fluff, but I do like doing different things from time to time. I understand that this isn't for everyone (with bloody eyeballs and all), but for those of us who enjoy things on a dark side, hope you like it. ^^ Happy Halloween~!
The colors are a lot more saturated than your normal palette, but it looks good here. Like sunset in a haunted house.
