Description
A year later, and here is the colour version. Yay!2012, coloured pencil on Stonehenge paper, 11" x 14".
Thanks once again to Syccas Stock [link] for the reference on the 'Justice' figure [link] .
(As I have been asked: Background and bits of foreground references are amalgamated from my own pictures of various places. Botany enthusiasts will probably be able to tell that not all of those plants would appear in the same climate.)
EDIT: Just to clarify, as this has been declined from several traditional art groups for being digital - This is not digital. I don't even know how to create a digital drawing; and very much admire those who do have the technical expertise to do so. The photos were used for anatomical / light / botanical reference. This is 100% freehand coloured pencil. Thank you!

Thank you, m'dear! I'm doing my best to hone it a bit. Funny to think that not so long ago I avoided art classes at Vic quite strictly because I thought they couldn't possibly lead to a job; and now about a quarter of my income is from drawing. I should never make assumptions!
And yourself? Still living art in your wonderfully Wildeian way?

Naturellement.
There were art classes at Vic? As part of one of the design courses I'm guessing?
Great to hear about the income! Have you made prints of your work to sell? I think you certainly could. I'd buy one of Scorpio. But then you probably already knew that. Ha.

Oh my goodness, the details of the foliage here are astounding. I have to admit, it does look digital because it's that amazing. <3 As a libra myself, I absolutely love this =]
