"In the first year of my death you brought me roses every day,
Hourly compensating for your bombazine with a new bouquet.
Now my headstone sits forgotten in this graveyard overgrown.
Do not bring me flowers, love, my flesh will grow its own.
I give myself to roses, from toes to ears to thighs.
The lilies take my fingers and the grasses have my eyes.
My old songs hover restlessly; my odes these roots invite;
My phantom tongue still wags though my phantom limbs won't write..."
And continue that ad nauseam.
Timofey Gafkovich was a writer and a (bad) poet, but not one of any special talent-- or so he thought. It turns out that the novel he had been toiling over at night for the previous five years was so absolutely brilliant that, when he at last worked up the courage to show it to a publisher, the publisher decided he wanted it for himself. Everyone has at some point read a book that they wished they had written, but this dastardly man decided to make that envious wish a reality. He was already seeing Timofey's young wife behind Timofey's young back and together, the two of them plotted the author's death.
However, neither realised that Timofey had sold his soul to a gypsy years ago. He was cruelly murdered but his soul remained. Bound to the living world, he watched his wife wed the publisher, the publisher publish his novel, and the both of them grow fat and rich off the profits.
There is, alas, no happy end to this tale. Timofey wanders the world still as a morose wraith, often evanescing in a boyish form as a reflection of his uncertainty (and in an attempt to win sympathy). He's a roleplaying character of mine and a longtime companion and servant of my necromancer. He also was loosely inspired by a character in some of Karen Elizabeth Gordon's grammar books.
Painted in Photoshop CS. Took so very, very long. I'll upload some detail shots tomorrow.
I like how this almost looks like an old-style animated cell--with the very front on a different transparency than the layer behind it--with those different shades you've got going there--oh. I don't know how to explain it XD;
It's an amazing effect though--I don't think I've ever seen it done this well in a digital painting! It adds so much depth and dimention to the peice! Superb. Gorgeous coulors and details.
Just--astounding.

I can't even begin a comment that would do this any kind of justice, so I'll just say you must be one of the most brilliant and talented people the world has ever seen. How you do this with Photoshop is beyond my comprehension. >_>
And by the way, I never thanked you for that comment you left on my user page, so thanks for that. It means a lot, since I've been admiring (and aspiring to) your stuff for years.

Quiero mucho ver las diapositivas de vuestra operación de hígado pero en primer lugar necesito ir cortar mi cabeza en pedazos pequeñitos con mi peine.
Ashley, this is beautifully wonderful, the painting, that is. The story reads like the warped and twisted backstories of some of my rpg characters. It is disgustingly wonderful.
