The details and shading in this piece is fantastic.Did you use artline pens?Jane's going to have a hell of a time trying to unstuck her hair from those branches and leaves later!

I used a variety of dip pens. (the kind where you have to attach a nib)

And thank you very much!

omg this is so beautiful! I always wanted to do this kind of drawing, but I always get sick of drawing little bits x_x so I give up...which is very sad.

All 3 "Back To The Future"s are what got me through this piece. Background noise keeps me from getting bored.

You know.. I'm so glad you didn't just slop this together. I might have had to consider suicide (clearly am joking) if this was just some random doodle.
Freaking awesome. Love her hair and the melting in to the greenery

Wow. I love this picture. The amount of detail with the line work is amazing. I love an artist that crosshatches and shades with only black and white. It's much more effective. This is a very beautiful piece. <3 Very, very, nice. And I love the style. I must

GingerOpal In reply to palamein [2007-06-03 22:01:35 +0000 UTC]

Just think of the skirt as wedding dress material, as that's what i opted to use for reference. I think if i'd attempted a more diaphanous material after working 15 hours on all those plants, my wrist would have exploded from the agony and i would've got blood all over my picture, and then i would've been REALLY mad. So i stuck with the heavier dress.

I'm glad you like the blending.

KelliRoos [2007-06-02 05:47:47 +0000 UTC]

Wow! That is some serious inking skills going on in this piece, it looks fabulous. I can tell all the different textures and shapes of the plants and the manner they move and change consistancy is awesome!

GingerOpal In reply to KelliRoos [2007-06-02 06:26:26 +0000 UTC]

Oh thank you so much!! I'm rather proud of how all the plants turned out, considering all the hours of research i did on jungle trees (to find ones that looked easy to draw ). I was dreading doing the plantlife at first, because i'm not good with backgrounds, but once i started inking it (*gasp*) actually became fun!!!

GingerOpal In reply to Ihha [2007-06-02 06:29:01 +0000 UTC]

And then when she's so late that Tarzan has to track her down, he'll have to help her get unstuck from all the trees her dress is snagged on.

No I would never do that, of course that cheating. But...When I go up and visit her this summer I will pounce the moment she submits a picture.You will never have a chance! BWAHAHAHA!!!

The-Donut-Truck [2007-06-02 02:07:09 +0000 UTC]

Wow! I've probably said it before, but THIS is an amazing work! Tarzan's Jane, I assume? Before I saw the title, my first thought was "Green Mansions" (a South American jungle girl story). But I grew up on the Tarzan books of E.R.Burroughs. And his colorful other wordly romances.

I don't know how Jane is keeping her dress so pristine way up there in the treetops, but I ain't going to worry about it either. It's really awesome. Posing thus before swinging out over those vertiginous jungle depths! Again, Wow!
