 | I started this with the intention of making her a tribal warrior. I did not like the pose or how the idea developed, so I put her away for a month or so. She was only a pencil sketch at the time, but I pulled her back out and she developed very quickly as a much more feminine character than I had envisioned. Maybe I was forcing her too much, instead of just letting her happen. Those are usually the best pieces.
It is hard to see, but her eyes are a gold color, and her jewelry was done with a gold leaf marker, giving it a reflective quality.

 | Sample. Airbrushed acrylic and colored pencil on illustration board. I wanted to keep this simple. The original idea was to have a red glow around her with a black background, but once I painted her, I liked the plain white with soft shadows. |
 | I really liked the look of the black latex against the flesh tones. I also had fun with the different textures. The wet look of latex, soft flesh tones, and hair contrast sharply with the chains, hook, and spikes. |
