Description
Ok, folks this is the big one...The pencils for this cover have reached nearly 1000 faves here on DA and have been viewed a wopping 11,730 times. (as of the time this was posted)
...needless to say this is a new record for me. haha
Thanks to all who have been with me and those who have been adding these little doodles to their collections. It means worlds to me and this little fan base is the only inspiration I use.
This is the colored cover to Zenescope's Grimm Fairy Tales #48 due out soon. I suggested that her panties be white, (as seen here) but the Zene crew said that's a bit over-the-top so in the final published version her panties will be tan. Oh, well. Regardless the colors are stunning. On some monitors the colors are do bright they can literally hurt your eyes.

I can see why they said white undies were a bit over the top. When combined with the light, my eyes hurt.

The color work on this is awesome. Though, I think I would've gone with red panties.

I'm not sure yet, really. I think it's a new character they'll be introducing.

this is just even more amazing. I mean the pencil work was excellent, but this just adds so much more depth to it.

It's jaw-droppingly amazing.
It's a wonderful piece, and would make a fantastic poster, and is certainly pin-up sexy!
THEN there's the amazing lines and unreal (in a good way) coloring of this to bring it life.
That's the sort of work that makes people (like me) weep because we can't afford to Commission people with talent of your caliber..
It's why we +fav, +devwatch, and drool by the bucket full.
