Solid work here very nice image

Cool image, love the things you extracted and especially the creepy 'hands' you made.

CONGRATS!!!

Congratulations...

Congrats!

I wasn't happy with the result of this art actually. This is not what I had in mind... But I didn't have time to improve it... Gosh I won!!! Thanks all!

Congrats ! Great job !

congrats

Love the contrast around the head and sickle (

it took me a while, but I thought the sickle was coming out of his ear LOL.. now I see it.. LOL damn my eyes.. good luck author

ZOWIE KAPOWIE!!!!!!

beautiful ! cute entry , well done

Have more grass overlapping the bases so they don't look like they're floating...otherwise, nice job!

i like em floating.. always imagined grim reapers floating.. jusy my opinion though. Great work Author

agrees about what cmyk said but still a very creative and unique take on the theme. GL!

wow

I like everything except the background. I would've liked to see something with more details in the background, like some tombstones or some eery clouds or something. Nice entry regardless.

hey thanks everyone for your comments. i'll work on that "floating" thing. and i messed with the background a bit before i decided on this more "plain" setting. i really wanted the focus on them...too much in the background really caused an issue.

Thanks again!

Creepy romantic, author! GL...
Just one thing, only noticeable in hi res: beside bones still are white spots...
@Slushy: what language are you talking? Or who is he/she?

great and nice...... a little suggestions, the edges of the palms are a little sharp... and they need some shading too...... good luck

I agree with westfall I like the floating look also

Great work author...good luck

Love this, very clever use of source. Agree with erikuri, her hand bones need erasing. LOL @the shadowing on his staff - reminds me of Nightmare Before Christmas character!

Okay, good thing i forgot my external drive with the update on it, i now have just a final tweak to do to the image and i'll update my entry.

Thank you all for the suggestions. Should have an updated version before the contest ends.

ya know, now that Westfall has pointed it out, it does kind of add a better effect to make them look like they are floating.

HOLY CRAP! 8 favs? You must me, just delighted with that.

wow ........... great ..............all the best to u ..........

I absolutely love this...great job with the skeleton hands and looks awesome in high res...GL

Very Gothic !! good luck author

interesting characters... congrats...

Congratulations!!!!!

uuuuu spookie... nice work

You need to darken the skeletons in the background. There's no light source to shine on them like that.

Thanks guys,i made some corection's....

Yeah, much better. ONLY thing is the skull on the reaper seems a bit bright, considering he's wearing a hood. For what it's worth this is still one of best entries I've seen so far.

Great blend of lots of different sources... good luck!

nice creativity

love the sky, great blend.. fantastic finished image.

Beautiful........Good Luck Author.

This is really cool except that the white of the hand is too sharp; the lighting should be a tad less on the hand so you can make out the shadows and don't see spare pixels floating out.

Thanks... About the white on his hand... I know it way too white... Leveling it doesn't make it look it any better nor does brurning... Looks bad... Could have done something but then it does attract attention... So I kept it like that so people looks at it first and then the soul...

Wonderful image

NICE!!!
