Description
Original: Available, soldPrints: open edition, just click the print link below the image.
My darkness... Roses of blood dance in raven hair, pallid flesh moves with smooth seduction. Ethereal and unreal, shadow given flesh and form. Each night my sins come back to haunt me...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I've watched sin city one too many times. This was one of a couple of experiements in a limited palette. Nothing but every shade of cool grey, black, white and a red pencil.
Edit: because someone asked, this was done with prismacolor pencils on black cardstock.

Cool Grey 10%
Cool Grey 30%

Aw hey thanks. *squints* I'd really rather not? It's nothing against you, it's just that I have a hard time keeping track of who I've said yes and who I've said no to, this way I know I've said no to everyone. Plus people actually pay me to do logos and such for their web sites, etc. and it's kind of not fair to them for me to let people do it for free, you know? But thanks for asking!

A brilliant, very beautiful picture. I love the red petals in the hair and how some strands are taken by the wind.
Absolutely worth a

aw thanks sugar. I'm so glad you like it. I have this weird fetish for NOT showing faces a lot of the times. I think it's because subconciously I know I could never get the face to match the image in my head, so I don't even try *laughs* I like to think I'm starting to improve.
