This time I guess there is no story behind this art. I remember working on my last piece and not even wanting to look at it again (with the kind of struggle I was going through, artistically) so I assumed that's it....I will be out of the art scene for at least 6 months but then came a polite request from CharllieeArts to join his contest. Working on this was unlike any other time before, it came effortlessly, slow yes but things were moving forward. This piece happened at a time when I had entirely stopped expecting anything from my own self and almost given up on doing arts anymore.
And now at the end of it all, I am glad I made it through with this creation. I don't know what the future holds for me but whatever it is I think it can be portrayed in the same way as the girl in this scene....no matter how down and out you are, when your time comes you will rise even from the ashes all born anew.
*The night is always the darkest before the dawn and the dawn is coming*
Also, after so many attempts at painting hair in my previous artworks I finally managed to knock it off this time with some really decent looking ones lol.

Vision is pretty clear and entire concept is easy to understand, which can be a tricky thing to achieve when it comes to concepts and stories we have seen for the very first time. Your ability to tell a story through your work really shows here and that's definitely your stronghold.
As piece is made as entire for a vampire themed it's hard to judge originality as you're boxed in a theme, however you did a pretty good job by using your creativity to create piece that fits conest's theme and still stands out as an independent piece. What stands out the most is her glowing pendant that is like a beacon for the bats and we're about to witness some dark vampire magic.
Technique is on point. It's really hard to even start nitpicking because you did so many great things with this concept that all those small misses are not even relevant. Pop(s) of color are great against all that hues of blue, however you could push it bit further.
That said, your piece is full of movement and anticipation. That takes it to a whole new level when it comes to overall impact. From flying bats, chains and the bell and some magical mist coming up you hold viewer captivated. Which is in my opinion an essence of art.

From what I can see of this piece of art, the detail that was incorporated was used well. You do not seem to have used the detail too greatly, as you did incorporate pieces in the art that were blurred, as if movement was occurring and blurring was used when sections of the art were not as a majority of the functioning towards the art. Overall, I believe that you did a fantastic job highlighting the more important pieces of the work, at least from my point of view. This piece of work shows a lot of emotion to me, just a side note. Fantastic work!
