Description
No matter how hard she tries, no matter where she goes... she is never alone.
I created a similar artwork back in 2011 but I was never completely satisfied with it so I figured I would revisit it later once my skills had improved. Well, my skills have improved and I have now revived this artwork into what you now see here. I ended up changing just about everything about it except the concept/feeling/emotion/spirit of it.
Part of the human shadows on her and the wall were created using Projection Studio (link below) while the stronger shadows were added in post-work. I created the human shadows/silhouettes by rendering several characters then making them black or grey silhouettes in Photoshop. Then I either overlaid them onto the finished image or grouped them together on one image and used that image as a projection gel. Doing it both ways gave a nice layered effect. The shadows aren't too distinct, they're not supposed to be.

Very well done. I love it. 5+!
Very deep analysis. Interesting descriptions of techniques. Intensely macabre and yet intimately internalized concept. Nicely done.
Outstanding artwork, superb lighting!
Very nice, and your characters are unique ;)
Very nice, I hope people will zoom full size or they will miss the details you mentioned.
You gave a great feel of fear here. I admire the creative process that you used to give such a visceral punch to your work. Thank you for sharing the process and the results with us.
