It came from nowhere...

Voting for Valence obviously. The ground and the open graves are incredibly well done, I like the floaty face in the sky, and the figures hanging there are pretty creepy. I suspect that something sinister is occurring

Banj
The "dirty" and muted colours in this kind of reminds me of Luis Rojo. And the undead look decidedly (un)dead and creepy. I think the woman's face and left arm could have done with some extra work. On the arm I suspect it's the viewing angle and foreshortening that doesn't quite sell a bent arm - instead it looks short and the hand looks a bit big.

Valence
The colourscheme in yours makes me think sci fi I don't find it creepy, really, but more peaceful. Like the souls are getting help to move on. Or I would if there wasn't that sinister looking face in the clouds. Is he hungry? Does he eat souls? Should we be worried?

I applaud you both for finishing and I like both pictures though I find them entirely different.
But my vote will go to Banj.

Glad to see you out of lurking yatadragora
