Description

This is a digital painting that I worked on for several months - I didn't post it for a while because was hung up on creating just the right background... I finally took Sue's (`cosmosue) advice and made it simple and kind of misty. Many photo's were used as references for this, but there is no photomanipulation in this piece!

Specifically, I used this image by *lockstock for much of the face, neck and torso: [link]
My wife modeled for the hands and arms :) and I used too many references for the hair to list (including someone that I saw at a local restaurant! :lol:)
The main reference I used for the lamp was by ~ArchAngelsPoison: [link] - used mostly to get the general shape and a sense of the shading.

The cuffs, lightning, smoke, and background were conjured from my own imagination with no references.


Created completely in Photoshop CS2 using a Wacom Intuos3 graphics tablet. All brushes were default Photoshop issue.
