Artist's Comments

I'm so proud of this! I found a sketch I started about two years ago and finished it up! I'm particularly proud of the blue ring octopus head-dress and the drape on the gown. Yay!

If you would like to color this let me know and I'll send you a high quality scan ;)

Hehe. Nice drawing. I think it would be great to see this coloured, it would bring out the details in the octopus and the ship in her hair. I'd keep it fairly flat though. Have you seen the rococo colour lithos done of women and their crazy wigs? Colouring like that would be great! I love the detailing in the lace in the dress and incorpoartion of shells.

That's crazy in a good way heh...very nice work, the detailing is fantastic...:skullbones: And I agree, it looks like it should be done like those classic paintings of rich aristocracy...
