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.

Super sexy. I don't usually describe art as sexy, but this fits it perfectly, so be honored... Or something. ^_^ Only thing haunting me right now is not seeing that face, yet that's what makes it so sinisterly exotic.
This is why I so love your work, it always has something to think about, some story to tell, and it's always so unique. You are truly an inspiration.

Oh wow, this is absolutely gorgeous! I love it when the view is of the backside of the character, its very classic and effective. And I like the black/white effect, with the touch of red. Very nice.

there's something really intriguing about seeing someones exposed back and not being able to see their face. the color choices are always nice together, though i'm sure it made the image harder to do with the limited pallete. and it always impresses me how well you do whispy hair in this medium. she looks like she's standing in water, or floating up out of our unconscious maybe. nice.
did i tell you that i bought two little small thick card things of your work when i went to dragon con? das siegel(?) and another i forgot the name of. i like them a lot.

*chuckles* I always look at it as... we consider the eyes the 'window to the soul'. So when we can't see the eyes, our imagination begins to supply just what the person might be like, or what might be hidden. And I"m too tired to go into depth on that *grin* But thank you m'dear.
And no, you didn't tell me! I'm glad you liked them.

That's really great how much does it cost to get a print account, is it a one time payment?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
one time, something like $25 (give or take a few cents. It's been a long time since I got mine)
