Thank you to everyone who helped out with this. I'm submitting this as my final version, unless there are any gripes that carry serious merit. Almost every critique in [/URL] the other thread revolved around changing the spirit/ghost of the child. I addressed that, and every other comment that was made... including some of my own thoughts. I can't please everyone, so I opted to change what I felt best (including touching-up the ghost faces in the mist, better defining the blade hand, slightly altering the blade itself, and other small ammendments). Here is a side-to-side comparison of the first and second version of this painting (new version is 2nd img). I hope you agree it's much better.
Thanks for checking it out! I'll be sure to post any future jobs from EN World (and possibly others, including work I do for WOTC) for everyone's opinions... it makes the paintings so much better when I have outside input!
