The curse

“She was sitting by her mother’s grave when she saw the book. It was just lying there, glowing with a soft light. She picked it up and studied the cover. It looked old, very old, and it was the strange symbol on the cover that was glowing.
Slowly she opened the book. For a second she thought she heard a whisper, a whisper of warning, but she told herself it was all in her imagination.
She started to read. It seemed to be some sort of dark fairytale. Soon she was totally absorbed by the content. She didn’t even notice the fog, or light, the small creatures with red eyes in the shadows. She couldn’t even feel her body slowly change as she made progress in the book.
Her eyes turned red, her skin went pale and black wings were forming on her back.
She didn’t notice until she finished the book and found herself caught in the dark force of the cursed book of Satan.”

I had no idea what a stockphoto was until a freind showed me what they where here at deviant art. So cool and so nice of people to share their photos to us to use in any way we whant I used these stockphoto´s [link] as an reference for the background
and this [link] as an reference for the girl.
And these wings [link] for reference for the formation of the wings.
There are no photomanipulation in this pic! So a big thanks to these people for letting us use their stockphotos!

So now to the pic itself, since I am doing pictures for NEG I thought it was about time to start practising on backgrounds and textures. Many of you might think that the lines on the graves shouldn´t bee there but THIS PIC is an experiment on different styles, textures and so on! I thought it gives a primitiv feeling to the picture. It was so fun to make this pic! So enjoy!
