Artist's Comments

"Come, you spirits
That tend on mortal thoughts! unsex me here,
And fill me from the crown to the toe, top-full
Of direst cruelty" - Lady Macbeth Act I scene V

Unsexed? For me Lady Macbeth's desire to 'un-sex' herself is a spin on an interpretation of the 'superman' ideal; to shackle off moral conventions. But like all who are not psychopaths she falls victim to her all too human conscience.

Still a semi WIP

Done completely in Photoshop CS2.

I was adventurous enough to battle my fear of hands. This with mixed results... I think I came off with a few bruises.

But I am very pleased with her face!

~*~

For references I used a mirror, a photo of my hand (Too bad it didn't end up helping much :giggle:


For the blood I referred to a number of photo's from the wonderful :iconblood--stock: <- Fantastic stuff!

"Out, damned spot! out, I say! ... Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him. ... What's done cannot be undone. " Act V scene I

Awesome job. I love the look on her face.

I understand the fear of hands too. But I think you did a good job at them and understand the angle you wanted. The nails look good too.

:clap:

Thanks so very much! :glomp:

Comment on the hands in reassuring!

I pleasantly surprised with the nails - must be because I spend to long looking at mine or something equally vain.

All the best.

yup good job on the hands :D I like the open one, looks realistic! The pinky on the one with the knife looks a bit flat, though the blood on it look okay :)

Her expression is fantastic!
