Creature Lab #04: "Ladies Night"

This week you get a choice between 3 lovely ladies of mythology! This is a special "themed" Creature Lab, which will come around every once in awhile. You pick between the 3 description links I will give below. Remember to follow the guidelines but more importantly, unleash your creativity!

Name: Banshee
Location: Haunted Corridors
Description: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banshee
Banshees are phantoms, so naturally the image should have some ghostly quality to it!

I see humongous influence from each other :24:

thats good to learn together, but bad to prepare for the real war :44:

very awsome illustrative and artistic drawings, everyone :18:

A lot of similarities indeed! :44:

No problem for me because mostly, the legend of banshee induces pretty much the same imagination, doesn't it?

It's not much more to it, not that it's a bad thing! :09:

Great job everybody! I'll edit this post when I give individual comments/crits. I'm feeling too tired for this. ^^ Cheers! :b5:

I thought of the halo vehicle when I saw banshee ^^
I kinda miss the niples on Mugshots piece!
Cezary I miss some focal point in your painting, most of it has the same value and tone !
Darcess, you have a cool idea but it doesn't pop! I had to look for quite some time before I saw she was burning in the light,
also if it is sunlight, why is it all so dark? Or do banshees also burn from moonlight ?
DM7 nothing to comment, if I had it would be a bit hypocritical that I didn't tell when you asked xD

Good job everyone ! (vote goes to DM7, if any wanted to know, because it "pops" more !)

Dm's piece looks the most refined and worked, and I honestly had something like that in mind if I were to paint a banshee.

@Dm: besides some anatomy fixes, I don't really have anything to say. Maybe a little more contrast... maybe...

@Mug: I like this take on the banshee, very original. I think it just needs more work to be really awesome.

@Dracess: besides some anatomy mistakes, it's somehow similar to what Dm did (not a bad thing, as I said I would have done the same concept). Next time just focus more on the concept by avoiding any complex background, because here the lighting is a bit imbalanced.

@Cez: I also like a lot this piece, too bad it's not more refined. Same critic as Darcess, avoid background. It has a lot of potential in my opnion, it's worth working more on it.

My vote goes to Dm (how unexpected...), but honestly it was close with Cez.
