Description Happy Halloween!
Illustration for an upcoming book from SQP and rather appropriate for Halloween.
Took much longer than I anticipated - obviously I wasn't drinking enough magic caffeine )

Pencil sketch on paper, painted in photoshop.

the silk effect of the dress is really amazing...
I love how you realize the texture on your artwork

Grazie! I learnt a while ago that paying attention to how different textures appear really adds more believability to ones paintings.

Its why she chose to wear it - her not-so isanely good robe was in the wash at the time.
Cheers Joe.

Wow, this looks almost photographic. Lovely job on the lighting, it makes the fabric look very realistic. The pose and expression on her face are great, such a cheerful Halloween piece

lots of great stuff going one here! Love the composition, the circle evokes the moon without being your typical glowing orb. And she's a nice classy pinup, pretty and sexy without being trashy. Love her little satiny coverup, well done. And I just noticed the little mouse with the hat - so cute!!! Well, it may have taken you a lot of time, but the results are well worth it!

Thanks man! And a happy halloween to you too - though we don't really celebrate it here in Australia - its more an American curiosity we observe from afar, or see on the TV.

Someone once said it was love that makes the world go 'round. They were wrong. Its caffeine.

Funny - I used to have a cartoon mouse character for myself that I put on everything, including a large painting of it on my car.
Happy Halloween my friend!
