More from Rukis
This thing has been a labor of love. . . and after literally a dozen or so sessions spent trying to tweak it. . . I think I'm leaving it where it's at, until I get some feedback from 
Foxamoore
For now. . . enjoy. I will not even BEGIN to guess how many hours went into this. Not enough. . . . I can never get my shit to look the way I want it to.

That's some beautiful work there. You say you've spent a lot of hours on it - and to be honest, it really does show.
The reflection of the moon on the water, that's as close as I've ever seen that represented this side of a photograph - well done. The trees also look to have had a lot of time and thought put into them - getting them to look just real enough, but without so much detail as to draw your attention from the main focus of the piece.
The other thing to which my eye is really drawn is the expression of the left hand character - you really can get a sense of the sadness and longing that's being portrayed there, just from the body language and facial expression. Expressions are something I seriously need to work on (well, along with everything else), but your art is one of the very first I'd tend to jump to as reference material - this one being no exception.
Really am impressed with this - it may not be perfectly as you envisaged, but it's one very well presented piece of art.

Beautiful! I can understand what you mean by difficulties getting it to look the way you want- I'm used to artwork taking turns unexpected ways. It looks to me like you have been trying to accomplish an aetherial effect on the spirits/ghosts?
I reccommend getting a look at silverone's subsurface scattering tutorial (basically the refracting of light in substances) http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4262586/ - she's kind of a master with lighting effects (to the effect of taking it too far sometimes) and might give you some inspirations for this sort of application (IE, the ghostly figures)

"I can never get my shit to look the way I want it to. " (<-- Quoted by Rukis.) That's the down side of being a perfectionist. You can't get it from your head to the paper exactly as you see it in your head. I've tryed myself and it's a pain in the butt. Granted, I can't draw at all anyways, but still. The same theory works for even more best of artist. I still think this is a beautiful peice of art ^.^ Don't sell yourself short Rukis, you're a great artist, don't let ANYONE, I don't care whom they are, tell you different ^.^
In spring of youth it was my lot
To haunt of the wide world a spot
The which I could not love the less-
So lovely was the loneliness
Of a wild lake, with black rock bound,
And the tall pines that towered around.
But when the Night had thrown her pall
Upon that spot, as upon all,
And the mystic wind went by
Murmuring in melody-
Then-ah then I would awake
To the terror of the lone lake.
Yet that terror was not fright,
But a tremulous delight-
A feeling not the jewelled mine
Could teach or bribe me to define-
Nor Love-although the Love were thine.
Death was in that poisonous wave,
And in its gulf a fitting grave
For him who thence could solace bring
To his lone imagining-
Whose solitary soul could make
An Eden of that dim lake.
-E.A.Poe
