Description
Done for ImagineFX Hand Painting workshop. You can find it in Issue 16 (I also made the cover for that one)
My goal was to create a bold mood without adding too much unnecessary detail.
Painted in Photoshop with some help from Painter. Refs for the pendant and marble (you can see it as a custom brush used for the face marks); light and anatomy studies for the character.
Linen done with a custom made brush consisting of a few lines.

I have returned to this illustration multiple times, because no matter what other beautiful artwork I see, this is still my favorite deviation of all time.
After so many viewings, I find that my favorite detail has become the dirt on her face. I like to imagine they are the permanent imprint left by many shed tears.

This is one of my favorite paintings and it's funny how my bf just called me right now to tell me his subscription to ImageFX had your workshop on it. Kudos to you.. I love your stuff! It's great to know that you're getting ahead!

This piece is so beautiful. You are truly an inspirational artist. Is there any way that you could give a tutorial on how to make a pendant like the one shown?

Well, my first reaction was something along these lines:
"How the heck did they do that???"
And then my second reaction was a zombielike "must...favorite..."

To me, this is the best and most beautiful illustration i have ever seen.
The colors, the hands, subtle movement of the almost bare sensual shoulders, her lips ... shadows and soft blue light from that jewel and the way it all comes together.
Such mystery, such ... beauty.
