For a first attempt (and I think this is perhaps the hardest lesson so far), it looks great It's cool that you managed to get all the characters in there but I dunno.. this pic isn't really all that spooky. I don't know if you have read the book or seen the film (and of course, it's totally up to your own interpretation) but Lucy is like this angelic character (usually blond, dressed in white).. in this scene she does have to look pretty demonic though so I get the direction you've gone in.. I don't like her expression too much though, maybe try and give her a little edge, like a snarl or something.. The set looks great though, loving the coffin <3

Ok, I'll try that =D
I wasn't sure if she had blonde or black hair.. I'll try a diff pose.Ok, hows this? (I know the hair is bad.. I'm still in the process of drawing it.)

I prefer the first one now O.O (I'm a pain, aren't I? lol)
My advice is to do this one in layers (the background looks great so I'd get that as layer 1 and then fiddle about with 'Lucy' in game.. see what poses/expressions you can come up with and edit her into the shot). What I think would look really cool (and I know I 'highly recommended' using other sims as characters, but it isn't a requirement as such) is if you had her do a 'come hither' look at the camera, zoom in more on her face sorta thing without the distraction of the guys. The scene for this one kinda is all about Lucy and how she looks so changed, I would therefore make her your star and leave out the other guys. But that's just me, it's totally up to you how you want to interpret the scene.
I do love the blood though and the light on the coffin is so beautiful ^__^

Alrighty, thanks! I'll play around with the poses a bit and get rid of the guys. I did think the first one was better aswell,, haha. (Suck at drawing hair) Heres another attempt, lol:

I love that pose! Lucy's hair and blood red dress fading into the blackness of the night is perfect. Even the red highlights in her hair makes her look dangerous/evil. If I can make a suggestion? If you're going to use an overlaying picture perhaps it could instead be that of her prior love? That way we'll see his reaction to her changed personality/appearance? A look of shocking disgust maybe? But that's just my opinion . Oops, almost forgot to say this, the font you used for the author's name? Perfect, even the green color works . EDIT: I'm a day late and a dollar short ! I see that you've already posted and I'm glad. You did a great job here - btw nice to meet you.
