Artist's Comments

In Irish folklore, the wailing of the Banshee foretells death.

Whoa... spooky. If I came across that in the middle of the night alone, I'd freak out!

Aah, she's scary. I like the somewhat ascetic quality of the image - the practically monochromatic pallette, the use of whites and the hardly visible red in her eyes, it all makes the image immensely powerful and striking. Morbid, even gore, and yet there is beauty in this flowing hair. A stunning image, truly, but it makes me wanna run and hide.

This is eerie as hell. But really beautiful. I guess the undead just have their own brand of aesthetics.

VERY NICE! She kinda looks like she's singing more than wailing though...
