Artist's Comments

"I can hear you breathing. Nobody in the Cradle does that anymore."
- Lauryl, Thief: Deadly Shadows

Yes, more Thief DS fanart, can you believe it? I just whipped this up and decided to submit something.... I'm in the middle of another detailed Thief fanpiece, and it's been ages since I uploaded anything...
For non-thief people, who really should be looking for a Thief game in the store instead of wasting time browsing through my scribbles, this is Lauryl, the little orphan girl who was murdered in the orphanage turned insane asylum turned haunted house: the Shalebridge Cradle. The building wouldn't let her soul leave, because it held memories of her.... the barred window is symbolic of that... All in all, I've tried to stay true to the atmosphere of the house in the actual game... *shudders*

A cookie to anyone who notices how crowded the place is. ;)

EDIT: Convinced by some comments as well as my own nagging conscience, I went back and smoothed her hair out. :D

Excellent work! You communicated the eerie atmosphere really well! :)

A pox on that little girl, who wouldn't react to my constant blackjacking! :doh:

You tried to blackjack her? O_O


XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I think that's about the same as inviting King No One for a steak dinner....
Anyway, thanks for peeking! ^^

I really like the creepy atmosphere - the curtains which you aren't completely sure are curtains or something else, her look, and the misty feel to it. The only thing I have to criticise is her hair, it looks too... artificial. I can't find the right word, but I think it would fit better into the surroundings if it was a bit smoother, since everything else seems smoothed out. But I really liked the picture as a whole, it has this sense of space, of things being behind eachother, that many paintings don't have.
Well done :)

Thanks! I know what you mean about the hair, it's been sort of bugging me as well... I'm fairly certain I'll still go back and change it...

I remembered: ORIGINALLY I intended for her to be sort of forming out of the fog and getting sharper and more materialised towards the top, which is why the hair is so sharp, but at the end I didn't want to make the top that sharp, but the hair stayed....
