Description The song Girl with one eye by Florence and the Machine holds a special place in my heart and when i found out it was a rendition of the original by the Ludes i was obsessed with the later version. I love them both for different reasons. The throaty sinister voice of the Ludes and Florence's slow build up they're just awesome.
So yeah, i just needed to put my obsession on paper. I have another version on the making actually. But i'm not really sure which corresponds to what song. Maybe a bit of both.

Pencil for sketching and shading, tempera for the basic wash of colour, and further colouring and detailing in photoshop

Various references for the lighting and also inspired by the work of whose work i found recently and adore

*edi* toned down the eye tattoo kinda thingy because it was too distracting

Indeed so! Και καταπληκτικό illustration! -τόσο in line με το feeling του τραγουδιου (χρωματική παλέττα, σύνθεση, όλα...)!

Ευχαριστώ ! Στόχος ήταν να το χρησιμοποιήσω σαν βάση για τα "κανονικά" χρώματα. Τελικά μου άρεσε ο τόνος που πέτυχα με το μπλε που δεν ήθελα να χαθεί

Thanks man ! It's not my usual style or theme, but the song in both its versions has such unique atmosphere it was inspiration at first listen. C:

Thank you ! The blue was supposed to be the underpainting, but i liked the combination, i decided to keep these colours for the final image C:
