No much to say about this one. My little demon character wandering in some big, abandoned building. I wanted to do something black-and-white.

Black coloured pencil and charcoal.

Very atmospheric...would make a great illustration to a story

Eerie picture . . . I recall a picture I saw somewhere of a ghost in a long hallway, carrying a doll; you know the one I mean? I also see a de Chirico influence, maybe. Very well-drawn, very atmospheric.

Wow, that hallway looks really lonely and you captured a very sad and depressing atmosphere. That poor little person, i agree with Fiona, a short story would go very well with this picture.

God that is creepy. But awesome, because creepy and I are best friends. Fantastic shading and perspective!

You did that hallway thing just like it usually does at such buildings! Very very good! That little person there looks frightened and somehow freaky... It's a somehow scary picture... Nice!!!

:-) Elina Vähä-Mäkilä replies: "The scary part might be that you don't know what he's just seen... "

What did he see? Tell meeeeeeeeeeee2!!!!!!!

:-) Elina Vähä-Mäkilä replies: "He's seeing you! Haha, no, kidding. He's seeing the thing that is right behind your back (so please, don't turn around...)."

I like this. How much do you know about the character, and the place? It appeals to me on several levels..

:-) Elina Vähä-Mäkilä replies: "The place is an old, run-down mansion (or other big building) in some remote place. The character is Dolosus, a "domestic demon" of a kind who’s been living in that abandoned building alone for decades. The departed owner of the house studied witchcraft and summoned him up and locked his demon spirit inside a small, harmless body to keep his powers better in control. He’s been slave in his whole life on eatrh and now he’s unable to leave the building because a spell keeps him rooted there. I’ve developed his character and his story a bit further, but this would quite a long answer comment I revealed it all here. You can tell me if you want to know more. "

Ahhh ok. I was just curious if it already had a story. If not, I was considering writing one.

:-) Elina Vähä-Mäkilä replies: "If you had a great idea or something it’s possible to write about him. After all he’s been in that building quite a long time and who knows what all’s been hapening. I’d just have to give some limitations because the character is already created and therefore this isn’t necessarily the most pleasant picture to write about. "

Ahhh ok...I will leave it alone then. I was only going to do something with it if it was mostly story-less, like the First Light one.

Fantastic piece of work!!! I loved the little demon expression, very creepy, and so are the sizes differences between her and the huge corridor…wow! Wonderful 1
