Tag As FavoriteComment		This is an entirely different style for me. I know it's not 'high fantasy,' but I qualify something as surreal and nonsensical as this as fantasy in some manner. It's certainly meant to be an alternate world - one where girls cuddle with skeletons, water falls out of paintings, and power sockets bleed.

This was done during a time period when I felt fairly displaced in my new surroundings, having just moved to a new country (temporarily). It fit my mood, I suppose, and was quite fun. Yes, I know that not everything 'fits'. It's not supposed to - therein lies the fun. Enjoy. :)

Made entirely in Photoshop.

A little bit Tim Burtonized, I adore it. At first I got the Idea of her being some kind of high goth girl, but she seems more elusive and hind and seek evil to her. The whole thing is distorted in a beautiful way, and I must say I like it alot. As I mentioned, it reminds me om T. Burton and I kind of think of his short movie Vincent when I look at this pieace of exceptional art. Godspeed!
