My darkness... Roses of blood dance in raven hair, pallid flesh moves with smooth seduction. Ethereal and unreal, shadow given flesh and form. Each night my sins come back to haunt me...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've watched sin city one too many times. This was one of a couple of experiements in a limited palette. Nothing but every shade of cool grey, black, white and a red pencil.

Edit: because someone asked, this was done with prismacolor pencils on black cardstock.
White
Cool Grey 10%
Cool Grey 30%

Love the pose, and how the colours create a shadowy secrecy.

Woa...

May I say she kind of looks like a demon...
Like the Demoness of Beautiful Sin.
*claps* Very awesome!!

Hey, may I use her as a character base for a story I'm writing?
All credit given to you, of course. I am not a theif and I have respect for the artists of the world.
I'm also told I'm a suck up..
May I use her as a character base?

Amazing

Do you presketch/plan, or start with an idea and a fresh sheet of paper/card?

JessicaMDouglas In reply to zjlht [2009-07-11 17:30:33 +0000 UTC]

I am full of fail at answering in a timely manner. Yes I sketch out on sketch paper first, and then transfer the image to cardstock to color it.
