| Getting scared |
This is my entry for Raelynns 'what scares you' competition.
So I started to think. What scares me the most? First I thought the supernatural. But no, it's death for me.
You see a girl who is doing her make-up in the mirror (you see it through the girls eyes, looking in the mirror) and she doesn't suspect anything. The shadow on the wall is pretty self explanatory.
This scene is kind of a metafore for death. You can die at any time of the day, doing anything, totally not expecting it, and that actually really scares me. Not just me dying, but even more my family and friends.
Everything in this image was made by me. I was looking for pictures that were taken in the mirror with a girl doing her make-up like this one, but couldn't fine any so I took some myself and kept blending different shots together untill it looked like I wanted it to.
See here the original image. I changed a lot as you can see. ;)
This version is at about 50%.
The Grudge 2 is in theaters October 13th! |

I really like the style of this! :D I also love how different it looks from the original :)
This whole aspect, you know, not suspecting anything and having someone with a knife come up behind your back, is probably my biggest fear as well... meep!
Anyways, way to go!
Edit/ Just saw Seven's comment, I do that ALL the time too xD

Great work! I love that you made this from scratch to be exactly how you imagined your fear and I also love your style of shading and the dark shadows. Greatt!

Thank you Linda! :) Yeah it's a lot fun to make something from scratch, cause you have total control over how the piece is going to look.. it's very different from looking for a picture that more or less corresponds to the image you had in mind.

Andrea you're so pretty! :D :D You kind of look like Jessica Stam!
This is one of my biggest fears. That's why Idon't like mirrors :(. I'm also scared of my reflection coming out and killing me.
I love the eyes on this :)>

Thanks Carina, haha Jessica Stam? Mind you that I changed a lot on the picture. ;)
Mirrors ARE scary. I was also always very scared that there would suddenly pop up a ghost behind me in the mirror. I suppose I've seen too many horror movies. :P

That's my biggest fear too. I used to have to check behind the shower curtain before I closed the bathroom door. =P
Fantastic work here, Andrea!
