Oh wow! This is so different from most of the stuff in your gallery... and yet it's still your particular style.

I like their creepy eyes and doll-like faces and the detail in their costumes is amazing.

:-) Marina "MashPotato" Siu-Chong replies: "Thanks! I was hoping for that creepy look... I find masks and mask-like faces scary O_O"

Uh oh. Double trouble. They are both very beautiful...in the same way a cobra is beautiful. The outfits are both playful and sexy and I can easily imagine all sorts of vile weaponry hidden in secret locations. Eeep! Personally, I would have to think twice about accepting an invitation from these two, but they are wonderful to look at.12

The deep reds and purples are the perfect shades to convey both devious festivity and dark mystery and the pair's inhuman anatomy really adds to the other-worldly creepiness. This pic blows me away. Congrats on an awesome project!

:-) Marina "MashPotato" Siu-Chong replies: "Thanks Barbara! Man, I can't believe it's taken me months to reply to this! O_o"
