Afterlife

Your good friend ToriFlame pointed me in your direction, and let me begin by saying this looks quite wonderful; those roses are magnificent. They are beautifully drawn and rather spot on for how they are designed. So with that let's begin!

Drawing Structure

I love the overall concept of this piece, roses and skulls for some reason make quite a pairing in artwork. The digital painting style is quite good, and your light source appears pretty consistent in the aspect of positioning. Digital painting can be quite difficult to get the hang of, despite it's rather innocent appearance. While I must admit your style here is quite nice I have always loved the slight texture to digital painting, however it is very subjective to the viewer as to which was are "correct".

Eyes

Now what did stick out to me were their eyes. While the glowing center is quite menacing and a rather captivating addition. The sockets in which the glowing center rests looks off, as if they were bulging outwards as if it were a full eye. When drawing skulls, even with the mythical aspect within them it is important to know the structure of a skull. Eye sockets sink inwards, and when a light-source is shined towards the sockets, the light will sink into the openings. From a front view I know it is rather difficult to really capture that sense, the furthest left skull has just about the correct lighting for it's position. However one must remember that eye sockets are not fully closed inward and have openings in the back leading downward, with that would affect the way the light is distributed slightly and alter the path of the shadowing within the socket. So my biggest suggestion would be to maybe lessen the glow slightly and define a more inward path within the socket itself; it will certainly bring out the essence of the painting far more and allow a wider variety of light paths you can take to enhance the piece far more.

I cannot see much else with this piece, it is very well made and I am really impressed with it's turn out. I certainly look forward to seeing more work from you, and I wish you the best of luck in achieving any goals you may hold!
