Description For Iony, and inspired her muse, Alexander McQueen. Specifically, s/s10 rtw [link] . I always had a hard time imagining what the character would wear, but she linked me to the video of that runway show, and it was like an Ionic world come to life.

A re-imagining of this piece: [link] but with more color.

Photoshop. Closeup of the eye: [link]

Welcome back, Minix! It's good to see fish bowl eye girl again. Loving the texture on her shirt and the free styling on her hair. And that eye! It's so deep... hard to explain. But lovely.

This is gorgeous, I love how everything flows in harmony with the colors and how bright this piece is!
The goldfish is awesome, but I think her lips are a true work of art... just PERFECT

[link] Those are the brushes I used. 95% of the time I use the hard edged default round one, at 4% for blending 7% for edges. The speckled one, I used for some of the textures on her dress. And that irregular round one, I used that for the background.

minix In reply to CintiaGonzalvez [2010-02-26 00:30:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! The facial volumes were my favorite part too. Working the purple and orange on the far side was oddly satisfying.

MegLovesMud [2010-02-23 23:31:46 +0000 UTC]

I realllyyy, dig the color and the whole fish in the eye thing. You should do something with a purple scheme that's planetary with a ringed planet in the eye. That'd be really cool.

You have such a great way of color and flow it's simply amazing. To build up the subject and give it great contrast and depth/dimension with your style is a breath of fresh air.
