*Edit Dec 2nd 2009: Read the comment, I've given the link to the colored version.*

Finish!!!!!!!! Zomg, this bastard took me a while since I posted the WIP version. I had to sit down and work on the damn details, composition and perspective!! :iconbwahplz:

I didn't have space for my signature (although it's there, but in a tiny one).

Do I dare to say it?? Yes, I'm somehow proud of this one! I just did it without making an initial thumbnail doodle beforehand - usually it is essential that you do because it makes your picture less complicated than usual (and less time consuming).
I hope the time is worth spending! I really love this work!!

Anyway, the scanner totally killed half of it! I had to use Clone Tool to wipe out the vertical line!! You may or may not see it (the line).

ALSO I know it's a bit late, but you could (constructive) critique as well, I'd love to hear your feedback!

Yes sire! I'll color this!!!!!!!! :iconheeplz:

Here're the colored version: [link]

Drawn without any ref. for the picture. But the inspiration for the spectres is from hoodie figures, Ringwraith and other ghoulish figure.
The lanterns are from any of lantern out there (type on Google). The weird, crooked tree/lantern (it was meant to be a tree) are ref. used from real crooked trees out there in the wild/nature. Because trees are amazing, yo!

The pavements are the worst of them all. Damn thing was like an endless dream - it never ends. I looked that up as well. Random websites.

The bridge is ref. used - I typed in French bridge or French town (because France town is quite extraordinary small.... if you're talking about the countryside.....I did go for Italy and Spain as well but none of them were nice enough to provide me their damn ref.!!!!! Booooooo! Also because I was super lazy. :icondeathstareplz:

Originally this picture was meant to be something else... like a town at night with lanterns without that spectre coming out of the lantern. But because I love making thing macabre and creative, I went for that one instead.

Memo to self: Do thumbnail sketches beforehand!

Download for bigger detail (I suck at background and details so you can look closer and dissing my work). Warning: I forgot to resize, so you may expect computer crash or something.... therefore, download at your own risk.
