Description Roaring 20s Flapper with a Cruella deVille twist. I wanted to embody the 20s androgynous look so I opted for elegant versus extra feminine. This was also my first experiment switching between outline and implied line and really pleased with how it came out. Still minor problems with the fur edge (D which I will probably fix if I have time. As with all my work, I try my damn hardest and put my heart into soul into everything I do so if you'd like to repost, please let me know and please don't claim my work as your own.

May I suggest using a smudge tool to soften the fur edges?

I thought about that but I don't think I want the edges smudged exactly. It's more about trying to get a really nice stylized fur for me which I'm still working on. Thanks for the tip

Cracking spectacular. Such a gorgeous outcome in the style and execution of this theme. She is without doubt of a seductress child of the decade of gramophones, gams, and gats fully filled with an essence of femme fatale ethyl. In a very fabulous way, she strikes me as being a beatified Beauty for she seems to appear in her portrait like those representations of saints scene in stained glass of great cathedrals of the middle ages. i wonder if the higher class speakeasy would portray one of their most infamous flappers in sacred reverence by commissioning her image in stain glass behind the bar. Hopefully glass not stained with too much of the blood of that man that done her wrong; or the one who did not heed her advice when she asked nicely that he get out of here and bring her some money too.
