Description {WARNING: HUGE FILE WITH BRIGHT FLASH ANIMATION}

Ohhhhboy, did I go overboard on this one. .D.;

This probably took about 100+ hours in all to do since there was so much to color and not to mention that there was also a second full picture that I had to do besides that. I need to give my poor hand a break after this, lol.

----------------

So, this month's theme was "Fall" where we could show off what our characters like most about autumn and all that it includes.

And it just so happens that Maja would take to Halloween like a duck to water and would totally become one of the creepiest mofos creeping around town because can. Presumably to obtain candy, but most likely to obtain the souls of the unworthy and lost or something like that. You never know with this woman.

She'd dress up as a Keres, a female spirit borne of the night goddess, Nyx, embodying violent death. Which is fitting enough, considering her job, habits, personality, temperament, and talents.

I also figured I might as well make a poke at my absolute favorite horror survival game series, Silent Hill. Because there's no better month to relive the retribution and terror than October. (I am totally going to go replay a few of those games when I have the chance. They must be conquered at least once a year, after all.)

So you all get a glimpse into the Otherworld that reflects the true twisted nature of the world within a lightning flash. To which, Maja is no less a monster there than she is in normal reality. Except she's a bit less attractive and that much more threatening and scary. ... with an entire arm specialized to chop your head off or maybe even cleave your body in two like it was a watermelon. Bottom line is, you really do not want to be the object of her attention in either reality. It's bad for your health.

(I'll also be posting each of the pictures separately so you can all ogle at them as long as you want. C: )

*clicks and full sizes* wow, look at her, so pret--*sudden flash and blood* OH FUCK FUCKING FUCKER FUCK!!! HEMN---*chokes on panic*

I'm.....kind of gore-sensitive so that was a monster surprise XD but it wasn't too terrible so i'm good ;u;
Now on to my ACTUAL comment, ahem....FANTASTIC!
The flash animation is actually a stunning addition to this already mysterious and hypnotic picture!
Very spiritual and chilling and i love the tilted angle~.

PHENOMENAL!

YEAH, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT ABOUT I HEARD FROM PEOPLE HALF OF THE TIME WHEN THEY VIEWED THIS, LOL. 8'D

I'm sorry for the flash scare, though. ;A;

It took a long-ass time to get it down but I'm still super pleased with the result. I used way too many layers but, hey, that's what makes it so cool!

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! ;________;

When I clicked this I didn't expect the animation.
I was admiring what a stunning night scene this was when BOOM. I had to watch it a few more times just to see the other image correctly (>u>' even though I just realized it's in the description) both pictures are fantastic and it's there's anything the Cau can do it's spooky stuff

This is an old one but I'm still proud of it. It took a lot of time and effort and was a little bit of a headache but it paid off!

I obviously injected a little too much Silent Hill into this. I liek horror games and movies a lot so... they tend to kind of bleed over into a lot of the things that I do.

BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH! ;____; I"M GLAD YOU LIKE IT AND THAT IT'S FUN TO LOOK AT.

I actually did all of the art on SAI and then did the animation in an old free animation program called Jasc Animation Shop 3. It's super easy to use and also really simple when it comes to resizing and timing keyframes.

I've had this sitting in my faves for a while because I had to comment something fully worth what you created, brah. I'll try not to fangirl too much. X3

The sheer amount of detail you put is just incredible! I can definitely see where those 100+ hours went. I especially love the detail where her tribunal-like tattoos on her side turn into pentagram.Β Β The raven is absolutely gorgeous and when it changes to have all those fleshy limbs, it looks like a creature right out of Silent Hill. Good lord, I effin' love that raven.

And Myla's teeth are really unique and pretty to look at! (teeeetthh *squawks*) Most people would settle with sharp, canine teeth but you took it one step further by breaking them. I'm sorta curious as to where the inspiration for them are. 030

Ack, sorry for a fekkin' essay of a comment. I just adore little details~

asfkldhklahsdklgklhg I lav essay comments aaaaah *rolls all over it*

Sharp, spiky teeth are only so scary, imo. When you start messing with alignment, size, bite type, etc., it gives it a much more unsettling impact from what I've come to realize. The more unnatural and warped it looks, the freakier it is to look at.

I actually just followed something more like a foreshortened cervid/equine/ovid mouth type with a gap in between the molars and front incisors/canines. I just kinda went with the concept and there we are! All sorts of messed up and spoopy.

Thank you so much!

Outta pure curiosity, what did you use for the flash animation? XD Well, I mean, Id assume flash, but, I haven't the slightest clue how you'd integrate that with a picture like this. *cough, totallyisntthinkingaboutdoingsomethinglikethissometimeinthefuture..cough* >u>Β 

And, heh, no problem~ Damn right its a success. >XDΒ

I actually use a really old animation program called Jasc Animation Shop 3 and it's totally free, too. I just downloaded mine off of the site, if I remember right.

It's really simple to use, easy to learn (no huge learning curve to weed out the noobs from the pros because we're all noobs when we use something so old, lol), and creates some really sweet animations if you sit down and just mess around in it for about half an hour to see what does what and how. c:

All you really gotta do is make the frames and then start putting them in order along with timing for the slides. And BOOM, you got an animation!

You should totally do the thing. Do iiiiiit. It's fun~ >U>

Maja looks exceptionally...err, gross and bloody...in a good way. She's actually terrifying. Just keep her and that overgrown pigeon--I mean, raven?--over there. WAAAY over there.
