Description 27.nov 2005 NEWS: This painting got featured in the new book from Ballistic Publishing; Exotique
Read more [link]

This picture is my best so far.. I had this idea for a long time.
It has taken me about a month to finnish (I dont work constantly but anyway)

I have painted it only in photoshop 7. The most used tools are the brush, both hard and soft, and eraser. I had a few layers..
the original is 8000x3900, so its possible to make a poster of it..

The idea of the clothes and makeup is to show something different, something beautiful, goth and mystical. I have played around with colors and the main ones used are the green DA like color and pink.

I am satisfied
I hope you like it aswell!

The paintings you sumptuously dedicate yourself to are positively dripping in a beautiful decadence of femininity, as a caress of exquisite tactility....I have peeked at your WebSite link also.....again I am pleasured & delighted to be aware of another being most talented in your field....masculine or feminine, 'tis not always so clear nor my 1st preponderance. Thank you....in this piece I simply adore the contrasts in colour & texture & those details, those eyes......wonderful work ) (So no, in respone to your Q. 'twas but a typo of sorts...lol.) ~ K x

I love how you took a picture with dark overtones and added a hint of colour. It casts perfectly...a sort of dark innocence...I love this. It's amazing.

That is insanely beautiful..

The detailing of her costume is incredible, and I am just in awe of the light you have 'captured' on all of the folds and hightlighting things.

of course.

I especially adore the tousled hair.
