job creating a temple in all of its aged and decaying glory, with great care taken to include the little details: the runes in the background, the ships in the stone, the grass growing through the floor.

But, of course, the subject of this image is what makes it, in fact, glorious. The use of blur and a brush with very faint and transparent coloring to create the sense of being in the presence of a ghost was very nicely done. One of the most wonderful aspects of that rendering choice is that it's within the splashes of light furthest from the open wall that the spirit qualities are most noticeable. The detail included with the precise lines and patterns in the fur, even where they are almost translucent due to the nature of being a spirit, show your

dedication to staying true to character. The mystical atmosphere enhances the character, speaking very well of your

skills.
