Second in a series of four called Slices. By this time I've decided that the four images will be hard lined brush and ink work, as well as color. I'll be using my usual water based mediums, such as water-dyes, water-colors, Prisma colored pencils, however, I want to experiment with the color in some different ways than I've tried in the past. We'll see.
Some thoughts about this image includes: instead of "balls of energy" floating around her (and a primarily light background), each globe is a planet or world, including the one behind her. That could be cool! I'm not particularly fond of cross-hatching on faces, but, when done correctly, does have a nice texture of shadow to it.
Three and Four coming up. I want to pencil all the images before I come back to ink them. For me, it will be easier to keep consistency of style with the ink amongst all four if they are inked in the same time frame.

Damn. This is good work mate. I realy like the parts where you did actually NOT drawn lines to emphasize the orbs or snowballs and the lightning. Realy gives the drawing a nice dimension/depth, it would not have gotten with just more lines to add depth. Nice technique. The lineart is top notch as usual. Only minor detail I might mention is her left eyeball. That tiny white dent makes it look a little edged. But oh boy, I allready feel bad for nitpicking mate. Instant

Thanks, Jaro, for stopping by and the fave! I've been bouncing around between the four, inking a little here and a little there on each. This one is mostly inked at this time, and I've tried to increase that depth with the ink as I did with the pencil. Just carried the technique forward. A lot of the pencil lines in the background have disappeared! But I'll post the end result of the hard line ink in the near future. Then, I'll go in with ink wash, and try to establish lighting. This may help soften that eye, too.

Thank you! I know what you mean, in that, the longer an image takes to do, more of a backstory tends to develop as the piece is worked on. These, however, being quite small, are progressing fast enough so that I don't have a lot of time to think about it, and instead, I'm concentrating on design and color theory, along with how the best interpretation of the finished pencil line with ink will help to "unify" the composition. The coat (on the forward shoulder area) may have a little bit more ornamental lines before it's finished. And I'm really liking the "each circle a planet" direction. We'll see.Ā
But the stories will come, in time, from all who view the work (hopefully
