This is a wonderful picture...this reminds me of a poem I wrote...same emotion and same heart-wrenching reality. You are a wonderful artist and very talented.

i like the idea to use this kind of lihtning effects (you did it in photoshop, ne?) But i think you should work a little more on her proportions, namely the right arm (its too short) and a thing about mouth- the lips's size dont match with the other parts of the face... sry if im too rough.. :P but let me say again, a very cool idea indeed ^_^
