Description
I haven't been doing many black&whites lately, not to mention "typical manga style" drawings.... although this and any other works aren't free from western-comic influences anymore. It's not that I want to get rid of this influence. Because I don't :3I've grown out of "pure anime" thingies a while ago.
It's made in size of a wallpaper, so if anyone thinks it's worth enough to land in his/her desktop for a while is free to download it (but use it as wallpaper only, please
). You can even download it in higher resolution:

This work is simply -saturated- with mood. The lines and shapes are very striking and the stark contrast is very, very engaging. It reminds me a great deal of Aubrey Beardsley, who is one of my favorite artists. Fantastic job!

WOW if that isn't some amazing imagery right there! The colored tattoo amidst the black-to-white (and shading) looks phenomenal!!! The look in her eye puts it over the top though!

Ohhh.. AMAZING!
This is a wicked wallpaper if i've ever seen one!
I really like this, and yeah, the pose is achievable, i do it all the time. Why would you say it's not?
Just one little thing... the butterfly. Why not having the butterfly be the same colour as her eyes.. or maybe red (blood red)?
Mmm.. anyways, this is awesome, so, instant fave for you

I think, that the black version is better! Happy New Year!!!

Of the two versions, red and just white+black, I prefer the b+w one.
But I like the idea of a bold red something in here, I think instead of making the shirt red, maybe the belt? I think the black on the shirt looks really classy, and it connects the black left side of the picture with everything else nicely.
But I think there is already enough color in there, that red belt thing was just a suggestion if you really wanted red in there....

Thank you
To be honest, the I've drawn the red version first... and I've put it over here, just to make sure if changing her shirt to black was a right to do
When it comes to belt.... hmmm.... it would focus a lot of attention to her belt and waist, and I do admit that - quite unintentionally - it's drawn it a little bit too low
Besides, without using any more color, her little tattoo and belly ring is much more visible - this version differs a lot from the original picture and her ornaments are a lot less noticeable. Originally "sigil" is a word of a special sign or a talisman in magic - definition I used over here is modified, however it still refers to sort of her private 'talismans', which she wears on her body for different reasons than just being pretty
I would've made her pants and shirt a bit longer, and perhaps use some colors to draw attention here and there, however this would totally disallow me to use the title for it + the reference to the original version
Now, that I'm quite sure about which version people are more likely to choose, I'll just put the red version offline - thx

I really like the overall composition of the image, and since I'm a sucker for awesome b&w pictures, this is an automatic favorite for me^^ The butterfly on her hand is really sexy too <3
*sets as wallpaper as well*

I agree, I lik ethe black version without the red better. The black leaves it a little more to the imagination and does'nt make the shirt the focal point.
