This is a mixed media collage titled PINK CATACOMBS that I did for a comic I've been putting together called Lily of the Valley.
It was created with black indian ink, red pearlized accent ink, TRIA marker, gouche, flamingo pink pigment, acrylic, and several different quality papers including Bainbridge backing, canson, and 2 ply Strathmore bristol.
I'd love to hear any thoughts on it, as it's the first time I've attempted to do anything like it.

Also, is the girl supposed to be sitting on top of said pile of skulls? Because she really doesn't feel like that at all. Her body should shift and mould to the shape of the skulls on top, but at the moment its like they're both in seperate planes.
Some stronger lighting contrast might be nice also. At the moment it seems to be mostly flat colours (though again, this might be intentional).
Don't be discouraged though. It's a nice image, but there's always room for improvement.
I was going more for stylistic design than reality. I appreciate your feedback though, some good points you made.
If you want to see more stuff related to this comic check out the blog www.lilyofthevalleycomic.blogspot.com
At this point I admit I'm going to need some hearty convincing you are actually trying to be part of the community and not just using the PA:AC as a means to garner more traffic, exposure for your work.
Wow really? I've seen high school art, and i think comparing it to that it bull. Then again maybe our experiences differed. As far as being cliche.......um you could attach that comment to ANY work of art.
I think the style of this is great and seems well thought out. The execution of different mediums, tall canvas space, and composition is solid. I appreciate that this could have been done digitally but you chose to stay with traditional media.
Maybe this stuff isn't your cup of tea, but i think it's great. It reminds me of mike mignola, who i think is genius.
I hope you decide to participate in the community a bit, instead of getting the ban hammer, because I rather like your art.

Mars: No problem. I'm on Penny-Arcade every other day but more of a lurker on the forum. I like to pop in once in a while to share recent stuff with other artists, and the art section here seems like a proper place for that. Like anyone though, I appreciate and respect constructive criticism over direct personal insults, which was what that member contributed. It discouraged me from the site for a while.
Orikaeshigitae: Maybe a little cliche yeah, but it was a fun time none the less.
Iruka: I think you're right about the white part of the pills on the skulls. I'm going to give that a try. I didn't really think of this as a painting when I started it. I didn't intend to add any paint at all. I was just going to paste things on, so I kind of just kept coming up with ideas as I went with it. So maybe I'll keep going a little further with the acrylic. Thanks.
Or is it?
