concept for ghost (1st post ever)...

[AfroLaxMan]

I was commissioned to some basic sketches of the lead antagonist in a film, and while the film was never really allowed the get started, I am still tinkering with the image. My problems are the basic lighting, hair, and describing the fact she has been decomposed for a short while. Any C'n C' would be kickin.:afro2: :afro2: :afro2: :afro2:

Ah! finally I see it. I like the mood and style a lot. I dont have enough experience as a painter to give you much help in that direction. One idea on how to make her more decaying is maybe to make some bone showing through and some flesh peeling. Also, the eye with the iris (its great that there is only one working eye) could use some more depth. try more like this:http://www.halfthought.com/espaki/crit.jpg
the highlight is on the transparent part of the eye and the iris is concave so the highlight is going to be on the other side.

hope that makes sense.
